We have had a busy few weeks with may activities taking us out of the classroom.

We had our school Sports Day followed by two INSET Days, then some of us had a day preparing for an attending a concert given by the Halle Orchestra (during which we played along with two items and sang two others). This week ended with our school Summer Fair, so it has been our Enterprise Week during which we made and costed items to sell in order to raise money for school. We made greetings cards (re-using old paper and card scraps), covered notebooks with a ribbon bookmark and animal face fridge magnets made with coloured foam sheets. Another special activity has been to finish organising our "buddy groups" with children from the infant school who will be joining us in September as our new Year 3s.

We have had some time for the normal curriculum - working on perimeter and area in maths and features of persuasive writing in advertising texts in English. We have also spent time on our technology projects and on computing, creating a racing game and a ping-pong game using Scratch.
