Week Commencing: 03.02.25

Another fantastic week in Cl 2/3/4! The children all worked exceptionally hard to write their own versions of Julius Zebra, including lots of great grammatical features. In history, we explored Julius Caesar and his attempts at invading the United Kingdom. During our Forest School session, we created our own rubbings to use in our art collages with Matisse as our inspiration. Through our science lesson, we looked at all the steps of the digestive system and the importance of models to help us learn.

In Class 2/3/4, we have had another brilliant week! In English, the children have enjoyed creating their own adverts for Julius Zebra, including adverbs and subordinate conjunctions. The children loved continuing their artwork, 'painting with scissors' just like the artist Henri Matisse. During our history lesson, we researched and learnt all about Roman Emperors and what their role entailed.

This week the children in Cl 2/3/4 enjoyed beginning to explore our new artist, Henri Matisse, exploring the lines and shapes that he has used in his artwork. In English, the children have really enjoyed reading more of Julius Zebra, exploring subordinate conjunctions and adverbs which appear in the story. Through our history topic, we started to look at what an Empire was and how far the Roman Empire stretched across Europe and Africa. We finished the week by taking part in a fantastic athletics workshop.

This week, Cl 2/3/4 have started our new book, Julius Zebra: Rumble with the Romans. The children liked making predictions, exploring new vocabulary and listening to the hilarious first chapter! Also, we have started our history topic, the Romans! We learnt about how and when Rome began with the story of Romelus and Remus, it was quite gruesome in the end. Year 2 have finished their shape topic in maths, and Year 3 and Year 4 have almost completed their multiplication and division topics and should be fantastic on TTRS! In RE, we thought about what the Kingdom of God is and everyone drew beautiful images of what it meant to them.

What a fantastic, very cold first week back for everyone, including Cl 2/3/4! In English, the children have created some incredible poems titled, 'The Magic Box', using a range of different expanded noun phrases. Year 2 have continued to explore shape, including lines of symmetry, whereas Year 3 and Year 4 have explored multiplication and division. We have completed our geography topic on the UK, with researching and locating physical landmarks using atlases. In RE, everyone enjoyed learning about the Magi's visit and each child retold the story in lots of detail.
