Young Seasiders Art Competition
Date: 4th Mar 2020 @ 12:02pm
School children from right across the Fylde coast have let their imaginations run wild and made this year’s Young Seasiders Arts and Crafts Exhibition another success story and our children were a part of it. Children from across the school took part in a variety of art lessons, creating pieces which were influenced by our local area and created using techniques used by artists across a range of styles.
Two winners were eventually chosen, Joe from Year 6 and Elliah from Year 2. Their artwork, along with all the other final pieces chosen, are on display at The Grundy gallery in Blackpool along with art created by other children from schools across Blackpool and The Fylde. Jo and Elliah were taken to the art gallery to see their artwork on display and to receive their certificates - Well Done and another Well Done to all our children who have created wonderful pieces of art that we are all very proud of!
The Adventures of the Naughty Bus
Date: 28th Feb 2020 @ 4:22pm
This week our story has been ‘The Naughty Bus.’ We started the week by reading and discussing the story, talking about our own experiences of where some of us have been on a bus journey! We have been building towns and roads in our construction area, making stop signs at the writing table, and adding a certain number of people onto the bus in our maths area. We have also painted a big box that we have turned into a bus for our role-play area. We all had a great time, taking it in turns to be different parts of the bus, setting up a bus stop, and handing our tickets to the driver when the bus arrived! Firstly, we painted the bus red, found circle shapes for wheels and cut out some rectangular shapes for windows. We’ve been on lots of bus journeys to different places, giving our bus ticket to the driver and him taking us where we wanted to go!

This week we celebrated Pancake Day! We read the story ‘Mr Wolf’s Pancakes,’ and talked about what we thought we might need to make our own pancakes. In our special box we then found the ingredients we needed to make pancakes, including some instructions for us to follow from Mr Wolf! We looked at the numbers to help us follow the instructions, starting at number 1, following the words and pictures all the way to number 6, which was eating the pancakes! Yum! We worked in small groups to weigh and sieve the flour, pour in the milk and egg and whisk the mixture together. We all had a turn at each stage until we had made a batter; our teachers then took this into the kitchen to cook in the frying pan. We all tried the pancakes before home time; some of us even tried lemon and sugar as a topping! We also made pancakes in our Play Dough area, which we put into small frying pans to try and flip and take part in Pancake races! In our Maths area we also used dice and different pancake toppings to create a pancake. We rolled the dice and added the correct number of toppings onto each pancake. We had toppings of strawberries, blueberries, orange and even chocolate!

Children have been learning about the value of money. Through role play, children have been working collaboratively through buying and selling, giving correct amounts and calculating change. It is crucial children understand the value of each coin, have the mental ability to count on from given amounts and convert between pounds and pence.

Our new topic, World of Work, was launched with a careers fair afternoon. Numerous volunteers from a wide variety of different professions visited us and answered our questions about their career and path into their field of work. It was a hugely successful afternoon and the children learned lots about the different careers available to them. We would like to say a huge thank you to the volunteers who gave their time to speak to the children.

On our first day back after half term, Year 2 had a great morning experimenting with electricity! We defied gravity by making a balloon stick to the wall and we even made salt and pepper jump from a bowl! We learnt that this was all down to static electricity. We had lots of fun making our hair stand up. We also used snap circuits to make fans and lights. We had a great morning and can't wait to learn more about electricity!

For our WOW this morning, we played a range of games using coding. Each game required us to do certain things, such as collect gems or make a character get from A to B. To do each of these things, we had to use lines of code and connect them to make the character move. Some of the tasks required us to debug lines of code to find the error. We will use these skills through our coding unit this half term.
