What a surprise!, by Miss Hope

Date: 8th Jun 2016 @ 9:46pm

When we arrived back in class after half term we were surprised to find a pirate ship had arrived in our classroom! How strange! Luckily we had all come dressed as pirates!  As we began reading this week's book The Pirates Next Door by Johnny Duddle, we discovered that in the sleepy village of Dull on Sea a pirate ship had arrived there too. We can't wait to read the rest of the story and find out what happens.

SEAL Champions, by Miss Hope

Date: 28th May 2016 @ 1:18pm

Each half term we focus on a different theme for our PSHE work. This term it has been Relationships. At the end of each half term the children vote for their classmates who they think display the values we have been working on. This term we were looking for the child who is always pleased when a friend achieves something new and for the one who says sorry when they know they are in the wrong. Q2 children voted and decided that James W was the person who won the sorry award and Isaac won the encourager award. Amazingly Miss Hope and Mrs Duffy had picked the same people in their secret vote too, which just goes to show how well we all know each other in Q2. Well done boys we are proud of you. 

Robot Workshop, by Miss Hope

Date: 28th May 2016 @ 1:08pm

During the last two weeks Q2 have been busy designing, building, decorating and evaluating their moving robots. Miss Gray gave the children a design brief that they had to follow. Their robot had to be able to stand up on its own and needed to have a chassis with wheels on axles. We have really enjoyed our robot project. Although some parts of the design process were tricky and required patience and perseverence we all managed to complete our robots. We now have a fabulous collection of wheeled robots. Take a look at our pictures. Which is your favourite?

As you know, we have been reading Billionaire Boy over the last half term. 
We received a text from Mr Len Spud, asking if we could help him to create a jingle, logo and slogan for his beloved company!

First, we had researched some famous slogans, logos and jingles we had a go at creating our own. Once we had created them we performed our jingles to some very harsh judges!

It was tough but we managed to select some winners! Well done to Ruby, Lucy, Morgan, Gillian, Charlie and Jacob!
