Final Product week.
During our current expedition Marvelous me, we have been working very hard in crew Frost learning how to create a self portrait, as you can see the children have been learning how to use shapes to form the features of their face, such as a circle for the face, lines for eyelashes and hair. Whilst developing new language such as “dot or wavy” for the nose and lips. The children have particularly liked learning our little parrot rhyme to help our pen grip. We cannot wait to see all the images brought together in our celebration of learning!

Bye-Bye Litter!
Today Crew McLoughlin put their stewardship skills into action by freeing the forest school of litter. Together we worked on our teamwork and communication skills while taking pride in making our school a cleaner place. Crew McLoughlin thoroughly enjoyed making a positive difference to the environment, as they have been eager to help save the planet after learning about the detrimental effects of pollution in their expedition lessons.
Litter Legends!
Today our crew put our stewardship skills into practice by taking part in litter picking at the back of the school field. Working together, we showed pride in our school community and respect for the environment around us.
It was a great opportunity to spend time outdoors, look after our shared spaces, and enjoy making a positive difference as a team. We finished the task feeling proud of what we achieved and motivated to keep caring for our environment every day.

Why did Romans invaded Britain
The children loved reading about why Roman invaded Britain
Who was Boudicca?
Today in expedition we learnt about Boudicca and how she fought against the Roman invasion. The children had to decide if they thought she was a hero or trouble maker. This led to a healthy debate as each child shared their opinions.
Technology Safari
In year 2 this afternoon, we have continued our learning about technology by doing a safari around school to see what technology we could spot. We used a whiteboard and pen to help us record the technology we could see. It was also a great opportunity to apply our phonics knowledge for spelling. When we returned to class, we complied a list while discussing why this would be classed as technology.
