What happens when you don’t feel safe in school? If you haven’t feel safe in school, what kinds of things would cause that feeling? We talked about things that made us feel unsafe in school and what we can do when this happens. These are some of our thoughts. I feel unsafe in school when: "The fire alarm goes off" "Felt unsafe when I got injured" "When someone hit me" "When people hit or push me" "When I get angry" Most children in daffodils class found this tricky, as we said that we feel safe in school. "I love being in school because we have a lovely classroom" "I always feel safe in school" "I don't know what to write because I am happy in school" Year 2 reading in DaffodilsThe year 2 children have been enjoying visiting the library. We are able to read different books and enjoy them with our friends.

If we were to plan the canal clean up operation, what would we need to do? What jobs would need to be done? After watching a short video clip of the restoration work that was done on the Montgomery canal near Oswestry, we decided on the work that needed to be carried out. We decided on which role we wanted to do and then set to work on the clear up operation! . During the clean up operation there was a huge leak and no water in most parts of the canal. The team received a telephone call with the news that there has been a leak and we needed to action something immediately. We watched a video clip of the sink hole which had caused the leak. We discovered the location of the leak in the over-flow section and identified where the sink hole had appeared. Workers had already stared work on the dam when we arrived. Once the dam had been put in place, we got to work straight away on fixing the sink hole. PSHE - Secrets and surprisesThe children thought about when they have had a surprise and a time when they have known about a surprise for someone else. We discussed that sometimes people confuse secrets and surprises. A secret is often something bad that someone does not want other people to find out about. It might be something they have done wrong and they know other people will be hurt or cross when they find out, or it might be something unkind. We looked at pictures of different scenarios and discusses whether they thought it was a secret or a surprise.  Science - States of MatterWe have been investigating the properties of solids, liquids and gases. In our science area, we need to decide which objects are solids, liquids and which are gases. We explored what happens to particles in a solid, liquid and gases. We had such an amazing time at The Beatles museum, we wanted to write thank you letters to our guides Nick, Amy and Connor to say what we had enjoyed the most. Here are just a few of our lovely letters. PSHE - Emotional regulationFor our PSHE session this week, we had a visit from Tanya who came to talk to us about how we can self regulate and control our emotions. We listened to different scenarios and decided which emotional zone we would be in. We even took part in some meditation and sat like frogs! We are going to continue with this mindfulness technique and call it 'Frog Friday'!  History - The 1960'sTo complete our history topic on 'the 1960's' we visited The Beatles museum in the Albert docks. It enabled us to consolidate all of our learning and be able to become immersed in the 1960's popular culture. We were able to make links from our learning to the exhibitions and activities. We even dressed up as the Beatles and played in the famous Cavern bar! Geography - LiverpoolTo introduce our geography topic, we explored part of the city of Liverpool. We focused on the Albert docks area and the canal system around Liverpool. We also visited the iconic Liver building and Cunard building. We looked around the skyline of the city and compared new and old buildings sitting side by side. We even spotted the old cathedral and new cathedral. To enhance our learning on the canal system, we visited the museum of Liverpool and looked at how, throughout history, the canal system has changed. Our trip has been a wonderful introduction to Liverpool, but more importantly, despite the rain, we had a brilliant time and so much fun!     We enter the story before the canal has had restoration work done to it. The canal is overgrown with rubbish and shopping trollies in it. People are throwing rubbish into the canal and there is algae, and bridges and locks are falling down. How does it make us feel? “I feel angry, why are people throwing rubbish in the canal?” “I feel anxious that animals might be in danger from all of the rubbish” “I am disappointed that people are doing this” “It makes me feel sad” “I am worried about the animals” “It makes me want to do something about it” ……… We went back as a group to discuss some of the skills we would need to clean up the canal and to restore the canal and make it a better place to be. “We need to be able to swim and Scuba dive” “We need to be able to dive to see what damage is under the water” “We need litter pickers to collect the equipment” “Knowledge of what equipment to use and be able to use it” “What to do with the rubbish and how to recycle it safely” “Know how to drain the water away to make sure it is clean” Pancake day in Daffodils!Would you like chocolate sauce or lemon and sugar with your pancake? |
