Year 2 visit Arne
Hot on the heels of the BBC, year 2 visited Arne for a day of investigating and learning in support of their topic, Birds. It wasn’t even spoiled by the rain. Half the school were busy getting rained on that day… year 4 at Brenscombe, year 2 at Arne and year 1 at Corfe Castle.
Have-a-Go Musical Instruments
Thank you to Mrs Buckle for arranging the concert for years 2 & 3, and to the wonderful secondary school musicians who performed. We loved the music and really enjoyed having a go at playing the instruments afterwards.
KS1 Fairtrade Breakfast
Thanks to all the children (and parents/grandparents!) who supported our Fairtrade Breakfast this morning. They enjoyed hot chocolate, juice, bananas and toast and jam. Key Stage 2 tomorrow! Also, thank you to the staff and PTA who provided and organized the breakfast.
Year 2 Visit Studland
Year 2 visited Studland on three days as part of their Castaway topic, courtesy of Dan and Jade Scott from Fore Adventure. They worked on shelter building, lighting fires, hunting razor clams and foraging for wild plants. They had a great time; more photos on class blog.
Year 2 Tigers
As part of their topic on tigers, year 2 had a fascinating visit to Marwell Zoo. In school they prepared and performed a Tiger Dance to accompany a reading of William Blake’s The Tyger by years 5 & 6 – reception were a very surprised and appreciative audience. Later, they shared research they had written up about tigers with reading buddies.
Back in school they wrote a recount of the trip to Marwell. Here are two of these pieces of excellent writing.
Year 2 set moth traps!
Here is Olivia’s writing about it:
Year 2 visit The Science Museum at Winchester
Year 2 visit Lulworth Cove
In support of their topic work this term, year 2 spent the day at Lulworth Cove.
Year 5 & Year 2 work together in English
Year 5 helped year 2 evaluate the non fiction books about penguins they had written. They were very interesting!
