Autumn 2.1 Class 2

Some one that keeps us safe and helps us!

Today is 11th November, we have explored heroes from the past, soldiers that gave their lives to protect us. We compared an image of the soldier from the past.

For Children in Need, we came into school a with something spotty and offered a donation to the charity. Mrs Wolfarth challenged us to a 5 minutes silence, for every minute we were silent she would donate £10!!! We managed the full 5 minutes creating some Pudsey art to help us focus.

We have begun our investigation into shapes. We have began by looking carefully at 2D shapes, describing how they look, using, pointy, curves, round sides to explain what we see.&nbsp;&nbsp; Using a 2D shape we looked around the classroom environment for identifying similar shapes on objects.

There are lots of different types of pattern. This week we looked at colour patterns and used the areas in the classroom to develop our own patterns!

To stay safe.... listen to your adult wear gloves stay away from the fire or fireworks

Hi, I am Guy Fawkes and me and my friends failed to blow up the palace of Westminster. You celebrate this on Bonfire night

We investigated the history of Bonfire night and why we celebrate with bonfires and fire works! We discussed how to stay safe and Miss Sim suggested we put our sparklers into a carrot!!

We decided that vets are heroes as they look after sick or injured animals, they can be pets or even wild animals! Big or small a vet is the animals hero!! We helped Mrs Wolfarth sound out the words using our developing phonics skills, so the words are phonically plausible.

We continued our investigation into shapes by exploring 3D shapes. We each had a shape we had to describe and then sorted all the shapes based on these properties. We then used 3D shapes in the classroom to build structures.

call 999

Looking into a police officers role, we discussed how they do their job and why. The children spoke about baddies and jail, but we also explored how they can help the other emergency services to. We spoke about what number to call when we had an emergency and using some visually, looked at what is an emergency.

We used straws to create our own shapes and then used shapes to create pictures!

We discussed that there is a difference from a real life superhero and one that is from a movie, or story books. Superman will never help us, but the school nurse who came to give us our flu vaccine would!! So we identified the real life heroes from our list.

To celebrate the end of our topic, we dressed up as our own real life heroes. We were able to discuss with our friends and adults, about the heroes job due to our previous investigations.
