Dragons Den

By l hearn6th December 2016

We were invited to present our project outcome in a Brooklands Farm Dragon’s Den! We have spent the last few weeks creating our own lunchbox that can be transported to each site along a wire. Our product needed to be waterproof, light and suitable enough to carry Miss Low’s lunch. We spent lots of time reviewing our product and then pitching our ideas to Miss Low and her fellow dragons. They were really excited about our designs and asked us questions that made us think about our next steps in our learning.

Year 2 Computing

By l hearn5th December 2016

In Year 2 we have been following instructions to create aliens. We had to follow each other’s instructions which was actually really hard! We learnt that we need to explain each instruction simply so our partner can understand it.

 

Lighthouses everywhere!

By l hearn27th November 2016

Not only have Year 2 been learning about lighthouses in school and making big pictures of them in art, they have created their own 3D models at home too! Take a look at these incredible creations. A massive thank you for all the help they received in making these!  We have had a mini museum in the classrooms so they could all be shared!

Handwriting success in Year 1 and 2!

16th November 2016admin
Year 1 and 2 are working really hard on their handwriting.
In Year 2, we have introduced the terms ‘ascenders’ and ‘descenders’ to help them position their letters correctly on the handwriting lines.
In both Year 1 and Year 2, the children are familiar with the story of brave monkey and scared monkey to help them understand which letters start at the top pink link (brave monkey’s branch) and which letters start at the top grey line (scared monkey’s branch).
Please visit http://kineticletters.co.uk/ to learn more about the Kinetic letters programme, or speak to your child’s class teacher.
