IPC Topic for Autumn Term 2 – Night and Day

Year Two started our new topic of Night and Day by visiting our darkest room in the school – the Boiler Room!!  Even though it was a little scary all children were able to experience the complete absence of light and lit the room with a variety of light sources.  Take a look at our photographs…

Circus time!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Year 2 had a great time with circus performers Albert and Friends today.  They had lots of fun and practised juggling, balancing, riding a unicycle, walking the tight rope, spinning plates and throwing diabolos.

 

Be a clown!

Year 2 launched their new IPC topic on Circus today.  They found out about the register of clowns’ faces and then designed their own – painting it carefully onto a friend’s face.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Can you recognise your clown?

Year 2’s time detectives visit Fulham Palace

Year 2 visited Fulham Palace Museum to start their IPC topic ‘Time Detectives’  with a bang.  The children took part in a workshop about the Romans –  and as ‘Time Detectives’ looked closely for clues in the building to discover which part was the oldest.

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

Running a cafe is a hard job!

Year 2 ended their learning on the Jobs People Do, by running a cafe for their parents and friends.  The children took on all the roles in the cafe – they’d already cooked the cakes on the menu – waiters and waitresses, sign and menu makers, till staff….  We hope our customers enjoyed their trip to our cafe!

 

Year 2 find out all about retail

The children in Year 2 enjoyed finding all about what it’s like to work in a shop, all thanks to Richard.  They put really thoughtful and sensible questions to Leonie about her job in the Disney Store.
