Eden Camp

We went to Eden camp for our school trip this term. We learnt lots of new things about the war. All the different huts were interesting and exciting.

Term 2 Autumn

This term we have been very busy with our WW2 topic. We have had a World War 2 day, where we came and dressed up as children from the war, we learnt about black outs, evacuation, rationing, and games children might have played.

We also had a tea dance afternoon, where we invited our parents/carers to watch us sing and dance to songs from the war time. We sang White Cliffs of Dover. We also had some cake and a cup of tea!

Roald Dahl Day

This day was so exciting! We are the Roald Dahl class and we celebrated Roald Dahl day. We dressed up, completed comprehension tasks, solved Roald Dahl problems and we created some art work based on the characters and the settings. We also got to invent a new chocolate bar or sweet for Mr Willy Wonka in his factory! We’ve just started to read The Twits for our first class reading book.

We are reading Charlotte’s Web at the moment. We are learning lots of new words from the book and we are predicting what might happen next in the story, supported by retrieving information from the text.
