2nd and 3rd Class have been busy learning about fire safety. We made Fire Safety Week posters and displayed them around our school. We then practised our fire drill and timed how quickly we could safely exit our classroom and reach our assembly point. It took us 1 minute and 25 seconds! We have been learning about what to do in the event of a fire and how to stay safe at Halloween time.

2nd and 3rd Class had lots of fun in art this week. We created 3D illusion art using shapes and lines. We began by drawing different 2D shapes. We made these shapes look 3D by drawing lines from the centre of the paper to the corners and edges of each shape. We then coloured in our shapes using different tones to further create the illusion of 3D.

Roald Dahl Day is on Monday 13th September. This week, 2nd and 3rd Class have been busy learning about Roald Dahl, his life and his incredible books. We started reading the story Esio Trot as a class group. We also learned some interesting facts about Roald Dahl. Here are some facts we would like to share with you!

Roald Dahl was born in Wales. His parents were from Norway.
He was a pilot in the army and fought in World War 2.
Roald Dahl loved the smell of bacon frying. His favourite foods were caviar and chocolate. He didn’t like to eat chocolate ice-cream or chocolate cake.
Roald Dahl only wrote on yellow paper. He spent two hours a day writing. He never learned how to type and always wrote in pencil.
His favourite book he wrote was The BFG.

2nd and 3rd Class used The BFG as inspiration for their artwork this week. We created our own magical dreams in a jar. We also practiced drawing some Oompa Loompas, demonstrated by illustrator Quentin Blake. We are having lots of fun learning about Roald Dahl and are really looking forward to celebrating Roald Dahl Day on Monday!
