Den building

The children enjoyed working as part of a team to build a den today with different materials...

Take a look....

We then went inside the dens......

London's Burning

At the end of last term we finished off our topic with burning down our London streets. The children loved this and really got a sense of what it would of been like during the fire. A fireman came in to supervise our fire and also let us try on his uniform.

The Great Fire of London.

In history this week we have been finding out about the Great Fire of London that happened in 1666.

It has been really interesting finding out about how people lived in the past. The people lived in houses made of timber and their roofs were made of straw. They were able to shake hands with their neighbours if they leaned out the windows because the city was so cramped.

In class we have been making houses to create a London City centre. I hope the everyone remembers to put their fires out at night before they go to sleep......

Let's multiply

Over the next couple of weeks we will be looking at multiplication. We are learning the x2, x5 and x10 times table.

First of all we are learning about multiplication as repeated addition.

We had to choose a number and sort them into groups of 2, 5 or 10 and then write the repeated addition.

Thank you!

Thank you to all the parents that came to our class reading meetings today it was a great turn out. We hope you enjoyed your game of bingo! The children love having you in so you can see what we get up to.

If you could not make it or you would like to know anymore information about Read Write Inc you can come and speak to us or take a look at the website http://www.ruthmiskin.com/en/parents/ .

Fire Station Visit!

On Friday 2JH and some children from 2AH went to South Shore Fire Station and had a fantastic time. The fireman men showed us around their station where they sleep, eat and relax...

They went down the fire mans pole....

Mrs Brown even went down the pole.

We also found out all about the fire engines....

After we went outside to spray the water hoses....

We had a brilliant afternoon and the children had so much fun!

Thank you very much South Shore Fire Station
