We had a fabulous book week and it is a shame it has come to an end. We had a visit from the poet Brian Moses who entertained us with his musical instruments as he told his poems. On Friday we watched a production of Duck in the Truck by Blunderbus Theatre company. The truck was awesome as were the puppets. We also came in dressed as book characters and our year 2 teachers were the characters for Little Red Riding Hood.
Well done 2T for teaching the Pre-Prep children all about The Great Fire of London. An outstanding performance by the class.
Today we had a real treat as Oliver Naylor acted out a play about The Great Fire. He became Samuel Pepys, King Charles and even Thomas Farynor’s wife. What a lovely end to our History topic!!
This week we have become designers. We had to design fire engines thinking about the ones we had seen at Ashford Fire Station. It’s amazing what you can do with a shoe box, lolly sticks and straws. Do come down to the year 2 corridor and have a look at our finished designs.
Today we went to the fire station in Ashford. Fire fighter Gary on white watch showed us his fire engine which was called 11Romeo1. We learnt that the fire engine is actually a really large toolbox. The best part was when we got to use the fire hoses to squirt water. Wow it was powerful!!
Today we did our first science investigation. We felt like real scientists using beakers and pipettes. The plastic was definitely the best material for a coat as it didn’t absorb the water.
