We made rockets!
This week in DT, we made rockets for the boy from our story, The way back home. We had to follow a set of instructions to assemble our rockets, but we decorated and chose the colours ourselves, each one looked different... and they were amazing!
Y2 Parent Book Look and Drop In... thank you for looking at our books
World Mental Health Day!
Today we celebrated World Mental Health Day by wearing yellow - Class 6 said the colour made them feel happy and like the colour monster when he is happy!
As a class we looked at what World Mental Health Day is and why we raise awareness of it. We talked about our feelings and how we express them, using facial expressions to show some feelings; we talked about how we can keep our mental health healthy and what we can do if we are feeling low or uncomfortable and how it is important to be able to talk about how we are feeling with others.
We used our fingers to think of 5 people we can trust and feel safe to talk to if we needed to, and came up with ways we might be able to help someone who needed cheering up or if we wanted to cheer or calm ourselves.
Some of the nice things we thought of were:
- Going for a walk
- Happy Breathing
- Playing a game we like
- Colouring or drawing a picture
- Listening to music
- Hugging a teddy
- Spending time with people that we love
- Talking to our friends
We also talked about a story we have read in class called 'Have you filled a bucket today?' and how today we would practise filling each others buckets by being kind and respectful to one another

A visit from Neil Armstrong
Today we had a visit from the first man to set foot on the moon, Neil Armstrong!
We had lots of fun; asking him questions, finding out about the planets in our solar system, playing lots of games and learning!
We used our bodies to make shapes that Neil set us, which also told the story of his mission to the moon - we worked in teams, using our listening and communication skills to work together and come up with some fantastic ideas.
Thank you s much to Neil Armstrong for such a wonderful morning!
This afternoon, we used our topic lesson to complete a carousel of activities to find out more about the astronaut, Neil Armstrong: The first man to walk on the moon!
