We have been super stars in Caterpillar Class this week!

On Tuesday we had a very exciting day meeting our Year 2 Teachers and classes! Some of us will be staying in Caterpillar Class with Miss Smith, and some of us will be moving to Dragonflies with Mrs Heaffey, and Centipedes with Mrs Barker. We are really looking forward to Year 2 now!

In English, we read a story about a girl called Sophie who wrote a letter to her Dad as he was working on ships far away. After reading the story, we wrote a letter back to Sophie from Dad. We had to think about what Dad had been up to and what we could put in our letter. 
We also practiced our tricky words, making sure we could spell them correctly and then testing each other on them. 

In Maths, we had some quizzes to do to test our maths knowledge. We all tried our hardest and did the best we can!

In Topic, we looked at what was suitable to take on holiday to the seaside. We looked at how to stay safe on the beach and in the sea, and how to protect ourselves from the sun. 
We also looked at how the beach had changed over the years, for example, what was new, the different shops along the seafront and how differently people dressed for the beach.
