What we are reading
The Hodgeheg
by Dick King Smith
​
Max is a hedgehog who lives with his family
in a nice little home, but it's on the wrong
side of the road from the Park where there's
a beautiful lily pond and plenty of
juicy slugs, worms and snails!
The busy road is dangerous but Max is
determined to make his way across.
If humans can do it,
why can't hedgehogs?

Sampson's Titanic Journey
by L Graham and R Matthews
Samson had lived in the shipyard
since he was a baby.
He decided to leave his home
in search of a better life in America,
so he sneaked on board
the beautiful new luxury liner called Titanic.
How could he have guessed
the events that lay ahead?
Would Samson ever reach America
or would his journey end
in the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean...?

Roald Dahl Day
Key Stage One had lots of fun today visiting Wonka’s Testing Lab. They used their Super Science skills to make observations and find answers to questions to help Willie Wonka make some new attractions for his Chocolate Factory. They….
Tested chocolate to see which was best to make a river.
Tested Gummy Bears to see if they could make them grow.
Used skittles to make rainbow water for a rainbow waterfall.
And tried to make floating boats from Starbust sweets.
What can your child remember about it? Why not ask them?

Making Cheesy
Bonfire Bread
Year 2 have been baking. They have made 'Cheesy Bonfire Bread,' and it was an
overwhelming success.
Lots of the children said they would
definitely make it again!
We had great fun
measuring, chopping and mixing.
Visit to Coventry
Transport Museum
Year 2 visited the Coventry Transport
museum as part of their History.
We were conducting research with the aim
to answer the question,
'How has transport changed over time?'
We saw lots of amazing forms of transport,
from bikes to fire engines and we took part
in a workshop all about Victorian Cycles -
we were amazed how anyone
could ride a Penny Farthing!
We had a thoroughly enjoyable trip.
Transport Topic Work
Year 2 took part in an Outdoor Learning day
as part of their Transport topic work.
Each group were given some materials to
make their own car, then throughout the
afternoon, they were given additional items
to add to the car. These were given out in
the same order as they were introduced
to cars - mirrors, windows, lights etc.
They had such an amazing time
and the detail they included in their cars
were fantastic.
Mrs Henshaw took Cedar class out
for outdoor learning!
They used their team building skills
to create cars in groups based
on our transportation topic.
They all worked fantastically together
and showed great creativity.
This is one of their bucket lists ticked off!
