Click on the link to watch the newly released advert for the Skoda Yeti, created by the talented Raaid in Class 2b! He wrote the advert himself and then recorded himself reading it aloud. We then used Windows Movie Maker to add Raaid’s voice recording onto a video of the Skoda Yeti.
Skoda are expecting their Yeti sales to go through the roof after this video goes live!

This week Year 2 had the opportunity to visit the Volkswagen dealership in Kingston to find out what it takes to be a successful car sales person. We walked all the way there and back!
We were allowed to sit in the brand news cars, speak to staff and even walk through the workshop and see the master technicans at work!
We found out what questions we need to ask customers when they come into a dealership to buy a car and even practised on a VW salesman! Isaac even did a deal on a shiny new Beetle!
After all the viewing and the selling, we were taken upstairs to enjoy some juice in the conference room. Many thanks to all the staff at the dealership for making us feel so welcome and to the parents who came along to help.
This morning the children enjoyed a fantastic lesson led by Joseph Cooper from the VW group. Joseph is a Sales Planning and Reporting Analyst and taught us all about his job. We thought it sounded like good fun so we spent some time allocating a selection of new cars to different dealerships. We had to choose from affluent Chelsea, busy Birmingham and the Scottish highlands and had to justify why particular cars would be more likely to sell in those areas. The children were fantastic at explaining their reasons. Well done everybody and a huge thank you to Joseph for such a fun and interesting lesson!
Here are a couple of snaps from today’s lesson.
On wednesday afternoon, Year 2 had some special visitors from the Volkwagen group and our very own showroom was offically opened for training purposes!
We were taught what questions to ask a potential customer and how to identify the correct model of car for them!
The children had lots of time to practise with their friends and the experts from the VW group. Some children even stood up in front of the rest of the group to show off their new sales skills. It was great to hear the children using such grown up vocabulary such as ‘recommend’!
Finally, the VW employees were on the look out for the best sales people who were then awarded Audi merchandise as prizes! Congratulations to you!
Again, many thanks to everybody from the VW group who is making this project such a success. We couldn’t do this without you! There is such a learning buzz in Year 2 and around school and lots of children achieving high learning zones.
Class 2a had a great time this afternoon in their science lesson! They were given a dilemma and had to carry out an investigation to find a solution.
I bring a sandwich to school for my lunch but my water bottle leaks and I end up with a soggy sandwich! Can you find out which material will protect my sandwich best from water and from being squashed?
The children had great fun finding out what happens when a sandwich is submerged in water! The children recorded their findings and were using fantastic scientific vocabulary including the words absorbant, transparent and… soggy! They then used heavy objects to find out what materials helped protect the sandwiches from being squashed!
Here is a picture of the children exploring with tissue paper, tin foil and bread!
We found lots of heavy objects to squash the bread!
In Year 2 we have been learning about Grace Darling. In 1838, Grace became famous after she and her father rescued survivors from the shipwrecked SS Forfarshire.
We had a visit from a RNLI volunteer who taught us lots about water safety, lifeboats and more real life stories.
We were also excited to find an indoor beach in school! We enjoyed sketching it and used it as an inspiration for a new setting for our own version of ‘The Lighthouse Keepers Lunch’.
This week we will be continuing our writing with character descriptions, problems and resolutions!
Firstly, welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful summer and are ready for the year ahead.
We had an exciting and busy first day back at school. The children have spent most of the day putting their detective and reasoning skills to good use, trying to find out who had attended a birthday party in our classroom whilst we were away! Photos to follow.
Thank you for returning the home learning this morning. The children enjoyed sharing thier projects with the rest of the class this afternoon. They all look wonderful! Well done! 🙂
Well done to those children who were learning number bonds using their hands today! What super mathematicians we have in Class 2A! Well done everyone 🙂
