Could You Be As Brave As Grace Darling?

Category: Year Two

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!

Category: Year Two

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.

Thank you for all your support with reading and home learning.  Becoming a confident independent reader is an important aspect of your child's development in Year 2 so any support with this aspect of their learning will be appreciated.

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.

We use cookies in order to improve your user experience by enabling our website to ‘remember’ you, either for the duration of your visit (using a ‘session cookie’) or for repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’).
 
Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, storing your preferences, and generally improving your experience of the website. Cookies make the interaction between you and the website faster and easier. If a website doesn’t use cookies, it will think you are a new visitor every time you move to a new page on the site – for example, when you enter your login details and move to another page it won’t recognise you and it won’t be able to keep you logged in.

Some websites will also use cookies to enable them to target their advertising or marketing messages based for example, on your location and/or browsing habits. We do not do this.
 
Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (‘first party cookies’) or they may be set by other websites who run content on the page you are viewing (‘third party cookies’). 
 

What is in a cookie?

 
A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on your computer or mobile device by a website’s server and only that server will be able to retrieve or read the contents of that cookie. Each cookie is unique to your web browser. It will contain some anonymous information such as a unique identifier and the site name and some digits and numbers. It allows a website to remember things like your preferences or what’s in your shopping basket.
 

What to do if you don’t want cookies to be set

 
Some people find the idea of a website storing information on their computer or mobile device a bit intrusive, particularly when this information is stored and used by a third party without them knowing. Although this is generally quite harmless you may not, for example, want to see advertising that has been targeted to your interests. If you prefer, it is possible to block some or all cookies, or even to delete cookies that have already been set; but you need to be aware that you might lose some functions of that website. 
 

If you don’t want to receive cookies, you can modify your browser so that it notifies you when cookies are sent to it or you can refuse cookies altogether. You can also delete cookies that have already been set. If you wish to restrict or block web browser cookies which are set on your device then you can do this through your browser settings; the Help function within your browser should tell you how. Alternatively, you may wish to visit www.aboutcookies.org, which contains comprehensive information on how to do this on a wide variety of desktop browsers.
