Month: October 2023

Wow, another busy week in 2OA.

Our class assembly on Wednesday morning went really well. The boys spoke clearly and confidently and sang beautifully. We hope that you enjoyed it and would like to thank you again for your help with the learning of lines at home. The boys did themselves, and us proud.

Enjoy some photos that captured this event.

Thursday afternoon was our ‘sandwich making activity. The boys had to follow the set of instructions that they had written in English in order to make their sandwich!

The filling choices were; ham, tuna, cheese and marmite. Some boys had one and others had 2 or more! Cucumber and lettuce were additional extras the boys could pick!

The boys really enjoyed making and eating their sandwiches!

Over the half term maybe your son can make a sandwich for you for lunch.

Geography saw us conclude our topic of seas and coasts. The boys have retained lots of information and impressed me with their knowledge and understanding. Next half term we are moving onto ‘Map Makers!’

The boys have been working hard to master column addition in maths and after half term they will be moving onto column addition with subtraction.

They have made a great start to their retelling of The Lighthouse Keepers Picnic using their story plans in English.

PSHE saw us thinking about rights and responsibilities. We explored that as well as rewards there are consequences for our actions. The boys worked well together.

We would like to take the chance to wish all the boys and their families an enjoyable and relaxing half term.

BUT REMEMBER

Please do start learning the lines for the Christmas play over the holiday boys as it will be here before we know it!

 

This week the boys were lucky to have a workshop with PERFORM which linked in with our topic of seaside holidays in Victorian times.

The boys were fully engaged and interacted well. I was told their knowledge of Victorian seaside holidays was good, well done boys.

Enjoy some photos. Don’t forget to ask your son what they did. Did they learn anything new about Victorian seaside holidays.

Geography saw the boys thinking about the seaside town of Blackpool. We explored a case study and they then designed a poster to encourage people to visit Blackpool. Did you know there are 3 piers?

Can your son name some of the attractions and what you can do on a visit to Blackpool?

In History the boys had to find words associated with seaside holidays in the past. They then had to put them into sentences to show that they understood what they meant.

We have been exploring what has changed with seaside holidays today compared to those in Victorian times. Can they name 2 differences and 2 similarities?

Science was understanding the importance of exercise. The boys spoke about the exercise they did both inside and outside of school. Can you name 3 effects that exercise has on the body?

In English the boys listened to the story of The Lighthouse Keeeper’s Picnic. They had to sequence the story using pictures and annotate them.

They thought about what could be in a picnic lunch and next week they will be making sandwiches following the instructions they wrote!

Next Wednesday is our class assembly so please use the weekend to ensure you know your lines and when you come in. You also need to know who is before you. Don’t forget to sing our song as well!

Have a lovely weekend boys 🙂
