It is wonderful celebration of spring! Let’s welcome it in!
It is wonderful to learn more about Marathi and Hindu culture.
Penguins can fly?
Today Mr Lo showed us that penguins can fly.
Toucans then discussed what they had learnt and whether they believed it! Luckily many of us said it was FAKE because we already had learnt in Geography and Science that penguins do not fly! Well done Toucans! This is an important Online Safety lesson as we must be aware that not all photos on the internet are real. They are edited.
Finally for computing we put all our photography skills to the test and took a beautiful photo, edited it and shared it with the class.

Digital Media
In computing this half term we are looking at digital media. This includes understanding the importance of asking for permission before taking a photo and how we use technology to take photographs.
Today we learnt how we can use our laptops to take photos of ourselves. We also discussed how photos can be changed and what we see on the internet might not be true!
Where does our money come from?
Today, our Year 2 pupils had the fantastic opportunity to welcome a representative from HSBC! (Sandra) We explored where our money comes from and the importance of work and saving.
Through engaging discussions and interactive activities, our little learners discovered how money is not just about spending, but also about saving wisely for the future. They learned valuable lessons on the significance of earning through work and the benefits of keeping money safe in the bank. 🏦
The children were eager to ask questions and share their thoughts, showcasing their curiosity about the world of finance. It’s never too early to start nurturing good financial habits!
P.S Mrs Parton also showed us how she initially wanted to be a Policewoman!
