Welcome to Cedar - Year 2!

Welcome to Autumn Term

Cedar Class have been busy learning about local history in Elsenham. We compared old photographs with ones from today to spot changes and notice what has stayed the same. It has been exciting to discover how our village has changed over time. The children were amazed to find out that the post office was once a part of our school building! By the end of this half term, we are looking forward to answering our big question: “Has our school always been here?”

Spring Term

Cedar class have been using Google Earth in their geography lessons in spring term. They have been locating some 'wonders of the world' including  The Colosseum and  The Great Wall of China. Working in pairs with an iPad or an atlas, they found out which country and continent these special places are in.

In DT this week, the children have been sharing what they already know about how we can group foods together. Using the play food and plates, they picked out foods and suggested group names such as 'vegetables' or 'unhealthy foods'. Next week we will share the 'eatwell plate' which divides foods in to five core groups. This will help Cedar class  to learn about the importance of eating a balanced diet. We can't wait to design and make a healthy wrap!
