Day 3 of our Easter Activities

Today we iced the cakes ready for the UNICEF cake sale.

The children also made some Easter cakes to take home with them.

Lastly, the children made some pecking chicks.

We think they look quite cute!

Happy Easter everyone!

Day 2 of our Easter Activities

On Tuesday we made our Easter cards!

First the children drew around leaf templates and cut them out. Then they created the trumpet part and glued it altogether.

These are some of the finished products!

I hope you agree that the cards look wonderful!

We also had an Easter hunt around the KS1 corridor.

The Year 2 teachers created some QR codes which when scanned, led the children to a Easter question which had to be answered.

We also had an Easter Bonnet Parade.

Here is our class!

Many thanks to all the adults who helped to put so much effort into these hats!

Day 1 of Easter Celebrations in 2RW!

Our last 3 days of the term were all about Easter.

Here are some of the activities we did!

On Monday and Tuesday the children baked some chocolate muffins to see during our UNICEF cake sale.

This is what the muffins looked like after baking!

These chocolate muffins are Miss Rogan's special recipe - there are no eggs or butter in them!

The children also made Easter egg shells. At first they went wrong, so we managed to solve the problem. Next we put so much glue on them, most were not ready to go home by Wednesday!

Many apologies, they will be sent home on the first day of the next term!

The children covered a partially inflated balloon with glue, then wrapped strips of wool around it. When the glue dries, the balloon can be popped and the shell will remain in position.

Such a messy job!

Repeating patterns in Maths

The green table were working on repeating patterns on Friday.

The first task I set was to make a repeating pattern with 3 colours. The children could use any object to complete the challenge.

Taylor went one step further and completed 2 repeating patterns in one!

Can you work out the pattern?

The next task was to make a repeating pattern with 3 shapes of any colour.

Our Red Nose Day total is.....

Thank you to all the parents and children that supported Red Nose Day, we raised a massive £654.19!

Homework Menu 22.3.13

• Make a chick in a shell.
• Make a word search with some words relating to chicks in it.
• Keep a food diary for a few days and record which food groups.
• Write a letter to the Chick Company to persuade them to let us keep the chicks in our school.

Have a fun time with your homework!

Our focus this week in Numeracy has been measures

Each group have looked at a different aspect of measuring this week.

The green group were finding items that were longer and shorter than a metre.

The blue group were weighing eggs using grams.

The red group were looking to see how much liquid was being held in containers. They were measuring in millilitres or litres.

Amazing homework!

Here are yet more examples of homework created by the children! They are really getting into our topic!

Red Nose Day 2013

On Friday it was Red Nose Day! Thank you to all parents and children for supporting us and the children in raising money for this important event.

I am sorry I didn't get a picture of you all dressed up in your 80's costumes, you all looked amazing!

Our artwork this week was based on Australian Aboriginal designs, so we decided to practise this skill on cakes that were sold at playtime!

We practised our designs on paper first, and then copied the final picture onto a circle shaped piece of icing using icing pens.

I was so amazed by how carefully the children decorated their cake. I have to say, I think our cakes were the best decorated in the whole school! See if you agree!

There are the pictures of children decorating their cake.

Here are some exceptionally careful designs copied onto icing.

These are the finished products with Aboriginal artwork copied onto the buns!

Year 3 arranged a competition for KS1. The children had to see how many times they could kick the ball and keep it up in the air.

The winner was......Trey in our class! Congratulations! He hit the ball 5 times before it went on the floor.

We are so proud!
