This week Primary 2.7 had a very special visitor.

Santa visited our classroom at night and delivered a very special letter to us all.

We had to learn to write a persuasive letter to help Santa decide to send us a special elf for December.

We all learnt how to write a letter and made sure to include the address for Santa on the envelope.

After we had carefully written our letters we posted them by using Santa’s magic postbox.

Let’s hope we all find out soon whether 2.7 will get an elf or not!

 

 

This term we have been working hard and having lots of fun doing Science. We’ve learned about materials and their properties. We have designed and made mini umbrellas, which we then tested by pouring water over them. We were very happy to discover that most of them worked really well and came up with ideas of how to improve the ones that didn’t work.

We have talked about living and non-living things. We are able to tell what the features of living things are and sort them into different categories and explain our decision.

We have also looked at the examples of forces (pushing, pulling and twisting) in the classroom and in the playground, predicting how applying more or less force would change the speed and direction at which objects moves.

 

This week we have been learned  all about bonfire night.

We learned why we celebrate it and the different ways people celebrate it.

For our writing we wrote fantastic senses poems all about bonfire night and thought about everything we experience.

We also made our own firework scratch artwork which turned out fantastic!
