Year 2 Highlights
Some of the exciting highlights include :
Over the last few weeks Totnes class have been learning about equal groups and multiplication in maths.
In English, our writing is being inspired by the book "The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark", this week we explored different fears by putting our hands into strange mystery bags, and looking for creepy crawlies."
Totnes class had a great time having a Wild Thing Party! They used their time in the Wild Place to help them write a recount of the party and their own stories based on Where The Wild Things Are.'
Year 2 had lots of fun at their recent Fire Safety Workshop.
Totnes class had a fantastic nativity performance and in English, they have been making persuasive posters and writing persuasive sentences about how to look after our environment.
In DT Totnes class made their brilliant Christmas glove puppets.
Plymouth class had lots of fun on their trip to the Wagamama restaurant. Thank you Wagamama staff for a great healthy food workshop experience. The children had a fab time.
