Year 2

Year 2 have discovered a toy has escaped from his box. On finding him and then hunting for a mystery present, we found out that he is in fact 'Traction Man' an action figure wearing dazzle painted battle pants. What adventures are we going to go on with him? Who will he save? And who will help him? All questions we hope to answer as we explore the book.

We will also be going back in time to find out about some of the most famous journeys in the past. What was the Titanic? Who were the Wright brothers? And Why is Sunitta Williams famous? We can't wait to find out and see how these journeys impact our life today.

Year 2 went for a walk on a Monday morning only to discover a nest surrounded by smoke, glitter and mystery. In the nest were 3 beautiful, golden eggs which we carefully took back to our classrooms to look after and hopefully hatch.....but what into? A chicken, an emu, a dragon or a phoenix.....time will tell!

Luckily our reading areas are cosy, quiet dragon lairs so perfect to look after an egg in.

We also had a visit from Annie the Adventurer who has travelled the world and now wants our help to discover land marks around the United Kingdom. Let's hope we can help her.

Year 2 have started their new topic with a historical visit to Ford Green Hall where we met Samuel Pepys. He told us all about the Great fire of London- how it started, why it spread and how London changed because of it. In classes we have a bakery to go and read in just like the one in Pudding Lane and we can't wait to find out more about this time in history through our topic and class text 'Vlad and the great fire of London'.

Year 2 were confused on our first day back to school to find flowers real and tin scattered around our classroom along with a parcel. We were excited to find our new class text 'The Tin Forest' inside and it inspired us to predict what we thought the story might be about. We will also be finding out about the weather in our local area and finding out if it always rains in Stoke On Trent.
