The children in Year 1 J have
enjoyed participating in an
assembly based on “Show and
tell”; we shared information
about favourite things and
toys – how we got them, and
The children in Year 1 H are from
all over the world. Between
us we represent 11 different
countries! We have much
enjoyed learning about these
countries, finding out about
the ways we are similar, as well
as learning about the things
we do differently in our native
cultures.
what they mean to us. We
also enjoyed painting self
portraits that we displayed in
class - we looked closely to our
features and to how they are
different and represented them
on paper. In science, we have
been measuring our hands to
see how many cubes we can
carry. We have investigated in
order to see if there is a link
between size and our capacity
to hold larger amounts. We
We have also been thinking
about our lives in Bucharest -
the things we like to do and the
places we like to go.
It has been a very exciting start
to our year together!
Mr Stuart Harrison, Class Teacher
used different strategies to
pile up, layer the cubes, so
that sometimes smaller hands
could carry more. We worked
together on a storyboard of
“Where the Wild Things Are”.
We discussed and wrote about
our favourite ways to enjoy
stories, based on the book
“Amazing Grace”: some of us
like to dress up, act stories out,
become characters, listen in
bed, use puppets or dolls etc.

Year 2B
2B students in there new class
Miss Banks and Miss Livia
welcomed the new 2B at the
beginning of term.
We are now working together as
a team and the children know
the routines of 2B. What a finely
tuned working team we are!!
We have been learning the
times tables in Maths. In
Literacy we’ve been exploring
Traditional Stories. We
performed a class assembly
this month to KS1 and some
of the classes in KS2. It was a
great success and the children
made up their own dance
routine. All good practice for
when it’s a parent assembly
and you all get to come in and
see us!
In Science, we have been
investigating Materials and
their Properties - looking at a
range of different natural and
not-natural materials. We have
experimented with popcorn to
see how it changes before and
after applying heat.
Thank you once again for all
your support - particularly with
the wonderful artefacts you all
provided for our Topic subject,
it was super.

Year 2W
The children in Year 2 W have
been having a lot of fun in
Science.
We have been learning about
the properties of water as part
of our Science Materials topic.
We designed an experiment to
show us which methods cause
ice to melt the fastest.
We have also observed boiling
water changing into steam and
then back again to liquid when
it cools.
