A new Spring Term!

The children have been really busy finding out all about 'The Big Wide World' which is our new topic for the term. They have carried out a Llanharry Weather Survey and have compared our weather last week to the weather in Iceland! The children have also used globes and atlases to find Wales and Iceland. They were able to talk to our visitor Becky about her travels to Iceland. She told them about the cold and dark, what she had to wear, what she ate, and also about all the geographical features she saw. This week we hope to go on a walk into the village of Llanharry to look at the features of our own locality.

Festive Fun!

What a busy week we have had. First we enjoyed the Pantomime, Peter Pan on Monday. The children really enjoyed their Christmas Party on Wednesday. Jonno the Magician was amazing and very funny too.

 

 

On Thursday Class 4 made Rudolph Truffles.

 

 

Merry Christmas. See You in January 2014 when our new topic will be 'The Big Wide World!

Children in Need

A big well done to everybody in Class 4 for joining in the fun today and raising much needed money for Children in Need. A big thank you to all parents too, for your support which is much appreciated. 

Our visit to Pontyclun Fire Station

We all enjoyed our trip to the fire station today. First we were told a story about Tanni who played with matches and accidentally caused a fire. Luckily it all ended well as nobody got hurt. We learned about how to keep safe.

Then we went all got to try on a firefighters helmet. We were really surprised at how heavy it was.

Then we all went in to the fire engine. The steps were really high!,

Finally it was time to go home. A big thank you to Pontyclun fire station. We all really enjoyed our trip and learned how to keep safe.

Class 4 Enjoy Fairy Tale Party

On Friday all of Class 4 enjoyed celebrating the wedding of Prince Charming and Cinderella with a Fairy Tale Themed Day and Party. First of all we did a survey to find out which fairy tale was Class 4's favourite. We found out that Jack and the Beanstalk was the favourite. Next we evaluated the wedding invitations we had designed and made for Prince Charming. Finally we finished with a class party. We enjoyed playing Pass the Parcel , Pin the Tail on the (Shrek's) Donkey and did lots of dancing.

Our autumn walk

Class 4 made the most of the lovely Autumn weather last week. We all enjoyed walking around the school grounds looking for signs that Autumn was here. We collected lots of apples from the Nature Reserve and used them to print repeating patterns back in class.

A Busy Few Weeks!!

Year 2 have had a very busy start to the Autumn Term.

To begin our topic 'Pop Up', we had a visit from a local Author and Story Teller who told the children how he gets inspired to write stories. He even wrote a brand new story just for us!

We have been reading, acting out and discussing lots of Fairy and Traditional Tales. On Friday we even had a letter from Prince Charming! He has asked Class 4 to design and make some really special Wedding Invitations for his wedding to Cinderella, so Class 4 are going to be really busy up to half term carrying out his request!!

We have decided to hold our own 'Ball' in class to help Prince Charming and Cinderella celebrate their wedding. Details will be posted ASAP!!
