WOW Day

By Year 2, in Year 2 - Friday, 14 July 2023

Today we enjoyed our Australian 'WOW Day’ in Year 2.

We had a special visit from an international world record holder called Adam, and his friend Nils who is also a boomerang champion from the Netherlands! We took part in a boomerang workshop, where they demonstrated how to throw a boomerang and then the children were able to have a go at throwing them too!

We were very lucky as Adam also brought in his own Australian instrument, the digeridoo.  We got to see how he plays it and the funny, deep sound that it makes.

He told us of how he created a 9ft boomerang and how he was able to throw it. If you’d like to share this at home, here is a clip of when Adam was invited by The One Show to share his experience.

Sewing bookmarks

By Elm , in Year 2 - Friday, 30 June 2023

Year 2 have been working really hard to sew their very own bookmark! First, we practised putting thread through a metal needle. Then, we practised some running stitches on hessian material. After that, we planned our design and ensured it was simple as we learned sewing is not as easy as it looks. Finally, we sewed on felt material and we even added a button and some ribbon to give it our personal touch!
