Class 2 Spring Work
In the spring term, Class 2’s topic has been Land Ahoy! We have been learning all about pirates and other explorers.
In English we looked at the book ‘The Pirates Next Door’. We wrote a newspaper report about how the people felt about the pirates moving in.
As part of Science week, we did pirate themed experiments, made our own pirate ship to see if it would float and learned about different materials and their properties.
For our Design and Technology lessons we looked at the story of Paddy’s Lunchbox and designed our own lunchboxes to help solve the problems that they faced.
We were very excited to have a visit from Captain Dan-Tastic who spent the day with us telling us what it was like to be a pirate. We had the opportunity to look at the different tools that pirates would use, their flags, food and much more.
In Art, we experimented with tie dye to make our very own pirate flags. We looked at the different symbols that could be on a flag and cut these out of felt.
