OUTSTANDING circus celebration day!

OUTSTANDING circus celebration day at Featherbank!

 

Juggling, plate spinning, tightrope walking, stilts, jelly and ice cream .... does this sound like a day at school?

Well, here at Featherbank that's exactly what Year 2 were getting up to on 14th June when we welcomed Jammy and Joe to school to teach us some of their skills.

What a BRILLIANT day we had.

That Poetry Bloke!!

 

This week we welcomed Craig Bradley to Featherbank and enjoyed his exciting and entertaining way of reading and writing poetry.  He told us that words can "paint a little picture in your head" and that "if you want to be a writer, you need to be a reader". He also talked about the meaning of some of our names. Ask Daisy in Class 2 Blue where her name comes from!

Everyone in school worked with Craig during the day and then we all met in the hall to share more poems and songs before he signed some of his books in our new library. I think we all know now that poetry is most definitely not "pants"!!

 

Why don't you leave a comment about the day? Tell us what you thought ....

Film Club

This is our film that we will be entering in the Golden Owl Film Awards. Elin, Adam, Abigail, Sofia, Dylan, Lola, Phoebe and Emily did a fantastic job. What do you think?

We will all be having a go at making some seaside films in the summer term! 

January so far..................

has been very busy. We have already done some excellent writing based on the story of 'The Three Little Pigs' and we were really impressed with your super ideas. We have made dictionaries all about different materials and in science we have been looking at how materials change. We did a fabulous investigation about how long we should cook bread for to make the PERFECT toast. Can you remember the result? We also helped Discovery Dog and Naughty Nora out by investigating where we should keep chocolate to make sure it doesn't melt. Can you tell your adults who Discovery Dog and Naughty Nora are?

Can you think of anything else we have done this half term?

Planning our chocolate investigation.

 

Which liquid will melt first? 

 

How long will it take the ice balloon to melt?
