Westover's Wonderful Word Day

The children really enjoyed dressing up as a word for the day. We had some wonderful ideas such as monochrome, colourful, mythical, festive and safety.

Our winning word of the day was 'dapper'.

Thank you to all our parents too for making such a great effort!

PSHCE - Celebrating Difference - Talking about Bullying

Computing - Scratch Junior (I-Pad App)
The children enjoyed being able to explore how to make their sprite move in different ways. They were also creative in the way they added backgrounds and made their sprite talk to each other.

Vocabulary used:

sprite - character on screen

algorithm - instructions

debug - correcting mistakes

History - Remembrance Day - November 11th 2019

We walked to King Square in town to look at the War memorial. We saw lots of poppy wreaths that show we remember soldiers who have been affected by war. We held a two minute silence to remember all the soldiers.

PE - Year 2 SASP Festival at Haygrove

Art - Self Portraits

RE - What do Jewish people believe about the Torah?

We coloured the Jewish flag and turned them into our own Torah scrolls. Through Godly Play we heard the story of Moses and the Ten Commandments. We talked about which commandments were the most important to us today.

PE - Gymnastics with Mr Hammond

Shape 1 - Tuck

Shape 2 - Pike

Shape 3 - Straddle

Shape 4 - Straight

Computing - Espresso Coding

The children enjoy working at their own pace.

They develop their own skills by following the instructions carefully.

Some children were able to teach their friends new skills.

Science - Living, Dead or Never alive?

We went out into the Forest School area to look for things that were living, dead or things that have never been alive. These are some of the things we found!

Maths - Counting up to 100

The children have enjoyed counting lots of different objects. They had to estimate how many objects they thought was in each bag first before counting.

They found grouping the objects into tens easier than counting in ones.

English - Dinosaur Reports

We had fun finding out about the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Did you know that it measured up to 13m long? We lined up along the playground to show how long the T-Rex was.
