Fitness and fire engines!

Year 2 have had a busy and exciting week with some fun visitors. On Tuesday we had a 'Fun fitness workout' which was purchased using the sainsburys school vouchers. So, thanks to everyone who collected those for the school. The workout was very energetic and we all felt very fit and healthy after it!>

On Thursday we had a visit from the Bedminster fire service. It was so exciting to see a fire engine in the playground! The firemen and woman showed us all of their equipment and we all had a go at using the hose which was very powerful! We impressed the firemen with how much we knew about the Great Fire of London.

Pour on water, Pour on water!

Year 2 travelled back in time to help the firefighters during the Great Fire of London. They had run out of buckets and needed to find a really good material to make some more. We tested plastic, foil, paper, kitchen roll, cotton, plasticine and card.



We discovered that the best material would be either plastic or foil as neither of these leaked.

Year 2 had a fantastic time at Playspace on Wednesday. Their behaviour was SO good that they were ALL stars of the week! Here are their favourite bits from the trip.

"My favourite bit was the ball that slid (zip slide)". Ava




" I liked climbing the rope". Luke

"I liked the really colourful slide". Jacob


"I liked the blue slide best because it was really slippy and I went down really fast". (Cody)



"My favourite part was when I found out I had got a medal!" Oscar

Year 2 had a visit from some of the teachers at Explore Learning in Cabot On Tuesday. They played some really fun games with the class and really made everyone exercise their maths brains!

On Wednesday year 2 impressed Miss Morgan when they used the big apparatus. They were safe, sensible and demonstrated some excellent skills.

Our first couple of weeks in Year 2

Year 2 have a had a fantastic start to the year. They have been sensible, hardworking and have all settled in really well! Well done year 2!
We have been focussing on story writing in literacy. The children are writing their own versions of 'The Tiger who came to Tea'.



Year 2 have been learning about what it means to belong to a religion this week. We looked at some different artefacts from the christian religion.



On Friday we had a fun afternoon - we watched Judo and had a lovely golden time.

Thank you year 2!

Sorry for the late post, I cannot access the site at home, and sorry Mrs Christmas for hijacking your blog!
I would just like to say thank you to the children and parents of year for making last year so fantastic. It really was brilliant and a great start to my time at Luckwell.
Thanks also for all of the support and help. I have never worked in a school where so many parents offer to come in and help. It was much appreciated!

Finally thanks for the lovely gifts and the vouchers - I will use them to buy something lovely for my new house!

Thanks again, Miss Morgan

Last week year 2 had their toy day for getting all of their marbles! They were very excited and played very nicely together.




This week year 2 had some special visitors from X-plore learning centre. They played some very exciting and fun maths games with us.
