Cake Sale – ‘Cakes for Koalas and Kangaroos’

Class 2 will be holding a cake sale, this week, on Thursday 12th March to raise money for koalas and kangaroos that have been affected by the terrible Australian wildfires. We will be sending the money to ‘Koala Aid’ and ‘Wild2Free Kangaroo Sanctuary’.
We would be very grateful if you could help us by bringing in cupcakes or buns for us to sell, on Wednesday or Thursday morning. We will be holding the cake sale on Thursday afternoon.
Thank you so much for your help!

Author Visit for World Book Day

We enjoyed a visit from the author Sarah Baker, this morning, to read her book, ‘The Catapult Kid’. The children loved listening to the story and joined in along the way.

Running Challenge

Our challenge to run the distance from Canberra to Sydney and back is going well. We have run 171 miles so we are 7 miles short of Sydney! Well done Class 2, a great team effort. 

Australia so far!

 

Class 2 are half way through their work on Australia and have been so enthusiastic. They have covered lots of history and geography and produced some lovely artwork. We are looking forward to exploring the topic through our Science work after half term.

World Book Day – Thursday 5th March

World Book Day

This year for World Book Day we shall be focusing on one book as a whole school. 

We have chosen:

The Huge Bag of Worries By Virginia Ironside

We will share the story together as a school and throughout the day each class will take part in activities inspired by the story. 

 

We are also inviting the children to bring in a fruit or vegetable fictional character that they have made. 

It could be a parsnip Harry Potter, an apple Mrs Twit or a banana Podkin One Ear! 

We look forward to seeing your creations! 

 

More delicious Lamingtons!

William has also had a go at making Lamingtons, at home, with his mum and sister.
Well done William, delicious!

Making Lamingtons

Today, Class 2 have been busy making Lamingtons. They are an Australian cake made from square pieces of sponge cake, coated in chocolate sauce and sprinkled with coconut. In English, the children have been learning how to write instructions so they have been following a recipe carefully to make them.
