Term 1

A huge welcome to Year 2 and to Hedgehog Class.  I hope you have all had a lovely summer and are ready for an action-packed year!  We're starting this year learning about castles, materials and their properties and some dragon-inspired drawing and writing (all information is on the learning page).  We'll be going on some virtual tours for this topic but if anyone has visited any castles (local or further afield) and would like to share photos or drawings, then please do send them in.

Suggested topic books:

Tell me a dragon by Jackie Morrie

The Egg by MP Robertson

The boy who grew dragons by Andy Shepherd (our daily story book)

George and the dragon by Christopher Wormell

Usborne's See inside castles

The weather was far too lovely for indoor PE so we went outside for a bit of yoga surrounded by our beautiful countryside.  Thank you for bringing in PE kits - we will continue with our 'indoor' PE on a Wednesday afternoon.
