Cinnamon class have had a great start to Year 2!
We are really enjoying our topic ‘Animals and Me’ where we are learning about different animal life cycles. To see this in person, we have a collection of caterpillars in our classroom who have already grown so big over just one week! We are looking forward to seeing their transformation into butterflies and we’ll also be seeing more butterflies on our trip to the Horniman Museum in a few weeks.

In English, we have been reading a book called Tadpole’s Promise which tells the story of a caterpillar and a tadpole who promise each other they will never change. We wrote some lovely setting descriptions about the pond where the story takes place and are now getting ready to rewrite the story in our own words. To help us prepare, we’ve been retelling the story out loud, using actions and gestures to help us remember each part. This has been so much fun and we’ve loved acting the story out. Ask us to act it out at home to help keep the story fresh in our minds before we write next week.
