Year 2 went on a trip to the Minack
Theatre. Whilst at the theatre the
children had exclusive access to backstage
and got to see how everything
worked and where the actors and actresses
get ready and where they wait
before going on stage. The children
then took part in some drama and
role play activities before splitting into
groups to create a short play about
plastic pollution. The children then all
got to perform their scene on the famous
Minack stage! We had a brilliant
morning and were smiling from beginning
to end!

In Science, Year 2 have been learning
about things that are living, dead and
have never been alive. They wanted
to see what they could find in the
school playgrounds. They were excited
to find lots of living things such as
trees, slugs, woodlice and birds. They
discovered lots of dead things such as
leaves, fallen blackberries and twigs.
However, they were disappointed with
the amount of ‘never alive’ items that
they had found such as crisp packets,
plastic straws and biscuit wrappers.
The children made the decision to do
something about it in order to protect
the wildlife around the area. They collected
some bags and picked up all of
the rubbish, put it together and looked
at what had been collected and then
made some posters about the importance
of looking after our playground
and wildlife to go around the school
and raise awareness. Well done Year
