Whales Class
Year 2 and Year 3
Whales Class is wonderful because it has lots of resources to learn and play with
Our classroom is spacious and organised.
We love Year 2 because there are so many interesting things to learn and there are lots of amazing stories to read.
We love learning practically and using our outdoor space.
We work hard to follow our class rules and values of perseverance, respect and showing good manners.
We aim to develop Growth Mindset and to always try our best so we can get onto the ‘Superstar’ reward chart and earn a whole class reward.

Boggart
We had great fun this afternoon learning to sculpt clay onto a tree. We have been fascinated by our Enchanted Woods story and we were so excited to create these outside!
Woodland fairy
We received a special letter from our woodland fairy. She had ripped her dress and wondered if we could design and make her a new one! We used different materials to cut, shape and join them! Lots of perseverance and determination shown!
Different materials
We designed, made and tested different materials. We worked in groups to make a bucket suitable to hold water that could help us put out the Great Fire of London. We had great fun testing these!
Tudor Houses
Whilst learning about The Great Fire of London – why the fire spread so quickly and how they put the fire out, we made our own Tudor houses. We created a design criteria and then worked together to fix different parts together.
King Charles’ Fire of London cakes!
We found out that it was believed Thomas Farriner was baking cakes for the King when the fire started! We worked together to follow the recipe. Delicious!

Today, we enjoyed our trip at Gressenhall with Stibbard. We had to help Cinderella and Jack (from Jack and the Beanstalk) find all of the special objects from the fairytales that the Wicked Witch had hidden! The children were exceptionally behaved and had a fantastic day!
