It is great to hear from you Molly! We hope you are enjoying your new school and that the visit to Tandle Hill went well! We miss you too but are happy to hear that you are well.

Love from
Mrs Potter-Woods and all of 2PW

We were delighted to see Mrs Appleby in school today and so pleased to meet her gorgeous bundle of joy Louie! He was very well behaved and it was great to see both mum and baby looking so well.

Congratulations!

Here are some photos!

This week and last, we have been learning about Mary Seacole. Here is a timeline that Mr Sloan made about the events in her life. Can you think of some other interesting things we could add?

Why not look at some of these interesting sources for ideas?
Information about Mary Seacole from the BBC

Mary Seacole information from Wikipedia

Why not search for information on the internet, look in a book or ask someone who might know?

You could also have a go at this game or look at these images – what can you learn from them?

Why not look at a map of London before and after the fire - what does it show?

This is our new Big Question. Get thinking about your response to this question. What do you already know about famous people from history?

Mr Watson left us a sticky this time last year. Can you add your ideas to the wall too?

This half term year 2 have been working really hard to turn a traditional tale into a film.

First we designed our storyboard backgrounds.
Then we began to draft and edit our group scenes.
Next we made our 3d scenes using a box and craft materials.
We then typed up our scenes and highlighted our speaking parts.
After that we rehearsed and recorded our scenes.
We took photographs to match our scripts.
We used a film programme to edit our sound and photographs
We saved the film as a video and uploaded it on to a suitable video website.
Finally we put it on the blog for all to see!

We hope you enjoy watching our Red Riding Hood videos:)
