Year 2 Life Education Visit
Year 2 had a fantastic morning with Megan from Life Education! We talked about how to deal with our feelings and emotions and looked at all of the different ways that we can look after our bodies!
Year 2 Starchaser visit
Year 2 have had a great afternoon, learning all about rockets, space shuttles, the space race and the Moon landings, with Clare from Starchaser! The class asked some great questions and we will be carrying on with our learning about Neil Armstrong and the Moon landings in History this term.
Year 2 Maths: Selecting money
Today in maths, Year 2 used notes and coins to create different amounts of money. We thought about how we can make different amounts of money, using the fewest amount of coins and notes.
Year 2 English: Man on The Moon!
We started our new English unit this week in Year 2! Over the next few weeks, we will be exploring the character of Bob, as an astronaut who works on The Moon! We will be writing our own stories based on Bob and The Disappearing Moon. Today, we generated some questions about Bob and wrote down everything that we have learnt so far, about his character.

A special visit from Father Christmas
Our infant classes were over the moon to have a special visit from Father Christmas after their parties. They all received a special gift for working so hard and behaving so well.
Infant Christmas lunch
Our infants really enjoyed their Christmas lunch today. It was wonderful to see them cracking crackers with their friends and wearing their party hats. We had a singalong to some of our favourite Christmas songs too. Thank you Mellors for the lovely Christmas lunch!
Year 2 D.T
Year 2 has a fantastic afternoon making their Christmas fruit kebabs! The children used their designs whilst making the kebabs and we also used the bridge and claw cut whilst preparing our fruit. The class used all of the equipment safely and responsibly and enjoying seeing their designs come to life!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Every child in school helped to decorate the Christmas tree yesterday. This morning in Worship, Iris, our youngest child in school got to put the star on top of the Christmas tree. It certainly is starting to look, feel and sound like Christmas at St Barnabas.
