Since Christmas, Year Two have been exploring the learning challenge question "Could you be as brave as Grace Darling?"
We read and retold 'Gracie the Lighthouse Cat', using Talk for Writing and Scratch Junior, a computer coding programme. We then noticed a story unfolding in the background of the book's illustrations. When we researched further, we discovered that this was the real life story of Grace Darling. We used a range of sources to find out lots of information about this important historical figure and event, and used our imaginations to hot seat Grace Darling, and write letters to her from Queen Victoria. This led us to learning about the history and role of the RNLI and important water safety rules, and researching and imitating an artist who painted sea scapes. We concluded our enquiry with a trip to a lifeboat station in Hunstanton, where we also tested our own bravery by touching starfish, crabs and snakes during a trip to the Sealife Centre! This visit also helped us get excited about our next enquiry into the underwater world after half term!

We have had a very busy start to Year 2 with a fantastic trip to Hedingham Castle and opportunities to find out about life in a castle. We have had fun learning the story of Jack and Beanstalk and then changing it to our own versions by adding adjectives and changing nouns.

Willow Class had lots of fun dressing up as their favourite characters, from their favourite reading books on a belated World Book Day. They talked about who and why the character was their favourite, made bookmarks and masks to take home.
