Today we have come to school dressed up as our favorite book characters. Thank you to all children, parents and staff for making such a fantastic effort with the costumes.I’m sure you’ll agree, everyone looks wonderful.
We have enjoyed yet another fantastic trip at the OpenZone at ‘The Word’ today it’s been all about coding. We used ‘wedo’ Lego to build moving models, we wrote the code to make them move using coding software for ‘wedo’. We also explored a free ‘coding’ website called hour of code. We had to make the angry birds squash the pig by following our code (instructions). Huge thanks to Mrs C from the OpenZone for helping us do some great learning about coding.

Last Thursday we enjoyed a fantastic trip to China Town to support our learning in Geography. We have been learning about the country of China in Asia and the Chinese Culture. as part of this we went to China Town in Newcastle. We looked at the beautiful arch as you arrive in China town, we then walked up Stowell Street searching for Chinese writing and lanterns. We visited the Chinese supermarket where we bought some decorations to help us to begin thinking about Chinese New Year. We then went on to a Chinese restaurant called Laus 202 where we were treated to a delicious Chinese Meal. What an excellent trip! Exemplary behavior from all of our children too, well done!
We had a fantastic time on Wednesday afternoon celebrating at our Christmas Party. we played party games such as pass the parcel, musical bumps and statues, dancing competitions and more! We enjoyed some delicious party food; hot dogs, crispy cakes, ice-cream and juice. We also had a very special visitor join us… Santa Claus himself! What a fabulous afternoon!
The children enjoyed a fantastic trip to the OpenZone @The Word yesterday. In the morning we explored using the ‘2Create a Superstory’ program on our very own laptops. We used this to create a simple animated picture of the fire of London. We also went in the TV studio to record a mini TV show all about the Fire of London. After, we had some Christmas fun recording one of our favorite songs ‘Sparkle and Shine’. After lunch, we used the ‘2diy’ software to make a festive matching pairs game complete with fabulous card designs and sound effects. At the end of the trip we got together to watch our edited videos that we had created. The Children were excellent! Take a look at our photographs and videos. Enjoy!
This week year 2 have been working in our soup kitchen.
