Stevenage Borough council has led a series of lessons for Year 2 showing us to how to stay healthy. The project ended in a parent session and the children had the opportunity to share their learning. Many thanks to all involved in organising. Year 2 have learnt a lot about how to have an active and healthy life style.

Pine Class have had a really busy week finding out about the war. We have been remembering people who fought in the war by tying red ribbons on trees in creature corner. We have also made poppies and writing  postcards in the role of a child from the war, who is  missing their dad and helping their mum at home with a variety of jobs.

Look at the wonderful Tudor houses year 2 have made. Many thanks to all the parents for the wonderful support given at home to make the houses for home learning. 

Pine class have been thinking about the dragon that was filmed flying over the school. We have written descriptions using noun phrases. Drama work has been fun as we explored why the dragon came to Roebuck Academy. We used freeze frame to discuss the motives and feelings of the dragon. Conscience Alley was used to give the dragon advice. We created maps to help the lost dragon find his way home. Next week we are looking forward to painting our clay dragons and creating a dragon world. This will be used for story telling and story writing.

Thank you to all the adults who were able to attend Pine Class's fantastic finish. We sang a couple of songs and performed a composition. Then we were delighted when adults joined in with our learning activities. These included Purple Mash, Growth mindset art, maths, making puppets and spelling. Many thanks to all the adults who came to find out about our assessments in May. Please ask a Year 2 adult if you need any more information.

On Friday Year 2 had a wonderful learning experience at the Shuttleworth collection in Bedfordshire. We were given a guided tour in the morning of the museum and saw transport from a variety of periods of History. We found out how fires were put out and saw an old water pump. Cars and bikes were explored and we were fortunate to see some planes take off. After lunch we were completely surprised by Matthew the Education Officer as both classes were allowed to take a bus trip on a vintage bus. Mrs Chapman added to the excitement in Pine class by pointing out animals such as Kangaroos and singing 'Wheels on the bus'. Year 2 had a very fun time in the Jubilee Park and even the adults shared their talents on the monkey bars and the swings. It was a real pleasure to spend the day with Year 2 who showed exemplary behavior and respect to all adults. Many thanks to the volunteers who helped. In addition thank you to the volunteers at Shuttleworth who were so helpful and knowledgeable.
