This week the Magpies had a wonderful visit to Peterborough Museum. We spent time looking at homes from the past, tried on old-fashioned clothes and even used a mangle. We enjoyed exploring the museum and loved looking at the dinosaur bones! 

As part of our 'Communication and Language' and 'Understanding the World' part of our curriculum we have been talking about what we like to do with our families and remembering a special journey.  Teddy from the Penguins has drawn a picture of a family holiday and could write some sounds to match his pictures too.

In Year 2, we have been planning our own adventure stories. Every child has been busy creating their own characters, plot and settings. This is an example of one of the settings - Isabel from the Squirrels is planning an Arctic adventure! 

In our science this week, Alice and Ismaeel from the Iguanas sorted a range of animals according to their diet.

In Year 2, we have been designing minibeasts for an Art project. This week, we have made templates, cut out the different parts of fabric and pinned them onto a backing fabric. Next week, we are using our sewing skills to stitch it all together.

In Year 2 we have been exploring a storybook called The Dark. Annabelle from the Squirrels created a lovely piece of work that describes and draws what she thinks the dark would be like if it was a person.
