Harold The Giraffe Visits Our Class!

We all loved seeing Harold the Giraffe and learning how to keep our bodies and minds healthy when Jenny from Coram Life Education came to Belmont this week!

Odd Socks Day

The children loved wearing their odd socks when we took part in Odd Socks Day in support of Anti-bullying Week! The theme of the day was that it is okay to be different and we spent time talking about why we are all special and how we can be respectful and friends with others.

A Visit By The Fire Service!

We were very excited to have a visit from the fire fighters and fire engine at the beginning of term 2 as part of our History learning journey, 'The Great Fire of London'. The children learnt about fire safety and explored the equipment available to firefighters today and compared that to what was available in 1666. A big thank you to the Grantham firefighters for giving up their time for us.

Keeping Safe Online

Keeping our children safe online is a priority at Belmont and we were delighted to welcome Dan from the Lincolnshire Stay Safe Partnership who led an interactive online safety workshop with our class. The age-appropriate session covered areas such as making safer choices when going online; keeping personal information private; knowing how to ask for support and reporting bullying or offensive behaviour.

Properties Of Materials

In Science, we have been looking at the properties of materials and how these properties make them suitable or unsuitable for particular purposes. We have also learned how the shape of some solid materials can be changed, for example stretching and twisting elastic bands. The children really enjoyed the Elastigirl investigation!

A Busy Start To The Year!

The children are settling well into Year 2 and our days are very busy! Our History topic this term is the Great Fire of London and we have enjoyed finding out why the fire started and writing diaries. Our Art topic is linked to this and as well as painting, the children have been learning how to weave - they did a great job! PHSE is a very important part of our curriculum and in class we have been talking about differences between people and the children have been able to identify different types of feelings.
