Mike Brownlow visit and travelling back in time!

Well we had a fantastic day yesterday! Mike Brownlow who is an author and illustrator came in to school and read to us the stories


It was a brilliant experience that all of the children really enjoyed. We all got to make up our own pirates and he gave us a drawing lesson on how to draw pirates. 

This morning we worked collaboratively with preschool. Half of year 2 went over to preschool and the other half stayed in our classroom. It was a great morning, we shared the book

After we read the book the children then retold it using puppets. We then had a taste of some of the fruit that is in the story and drew some of the animals in the story. 

Year 2 have also travelled back in time today! (Very busy Wednesday) We needed to find out some more information about the Crimean war and so decided to go to Scutari hospital. Once we crawled through the tunnel and in to the hospital ward we had a visit from Florence Nightingale. Florence told us all about what she did in the hospital when she turned up and why she is a well known figure. When our visitor left the children then got in to groups and had work together to act out a freeze frame. We had many wounded soldiers and nurses.
