Shining Together, We Reach for the Stars.
The children have settled in well to their new year groups in class 2 and have had an exciting first few days!
We will begin our year in class 2 with the topic of 'The Great Fire of London'. We will understand how the fire started, why it was not easy to put out, and how London recovered from the damage! During which we will gain a great understanding into what life was like in Stuart and Tudor England. This involves a trip to Ledbury Heritage museum in autumn 2! Once we have an understanding of what life was like in these times, we could compare that to how we live now and understand how much things have changed.
In science our topic is ‘Let there be light’. We will be investigating the answers to questions such as why do we need light? How can we see reflections in mirrors? How does light travel? And how is a shadow formed? We will answer these by undertaking a range of exciting experiments and understanding just how important light is!
In English, our text this term is Vlad and the Great Fire of London. From this, we are going to write our own diary entries and create comic strips that re-tell the story!
We are also lucky enough to be going to forest school on Friday's this term! Where we will be exploring our forest school area and learning more vital life skills with Becky our forest school leader.
We look forward to a fun and exciting year together!
Miss Davies and Miss Blewitt.
