Welcome to Falcon Class! We are a Year 2 and Year 3 class and we love learning! Please keep visiting our class website page as we will update it regularly.

Please see the documents below for our yearly overview and planning pathways.

In music, we have been learning about Ballads. We have listened to a range of ballads and thought about what they have that is the same. We then focussed on the ballad ‘Space Oddity’ by David Bowie and learnt the first verse. We used actions to help us remember it.

In English, we debated if we thought a monkey would make a good pet! We discussed our ideas in pairs and then reported back for our class debate. We listened carefully to other people’s ideas and some of us changed our minds once we heard some great points from others!

We have also recently written reports about giraffes, and we worked really hard to include the new success criteria we have learnt.

In jigsaw, we have talked about the word ‘responsibility’ and what it means. We have talked about examples in school and at home that show responsibility. We looked at the pictures on the power point and discussed who was responsible, why and what would happen if they hadn’t been. We then worked in pairs to sort the responsibility cards into most to least important and talked about why.

We were delighted to share our recent learning with our parents and carers at our class Showcase this week. Thank you to all those who came- we loved seeing you and talking about our learning.

In PE, we focused on developing fundamental movement skills, including dodging, changing direction, and stopping. To practise these, we played Stuck in the Mud, which helped us apply these techniques in a fun and active way. Afterwards, we reflected on how these skills improved our performance and teamwork during the game.

In Maths, our learning centred around place value. Using manipulatives, we explored how to partition numbers, compare them using greater than, less than, and equal to symbols, and accurately position them on a number line. These hands-on activities helped deepen our understanding of number relationships.

In preparation for the Harvest Festival, we used our drawing skills to create detailed harvest-themed artwork. We observed the colours, shapes, and textures of vegetables closely, capturing their unique features in our drawings to celebrate the season.

We have had a very busy start back to Falcon class. We really enjoyed our mark making week. We found out about Magpies and created some fabulous paintings of magpies. We also created some lovely ruler art- we loved seeing how different each picture was!

This week, we have had a great time learning about the story of Jonah and the whale in RE.

In maths, we have been practicing place value and linking it with money.

In English, we are learning our new text, ‘Monkey see, monkey do’. We had great fun thinking about the characters’ thoughts and feelings by ‘hot seating’ them.
