Planning our restaurant
Our new IPC topic is called 'We Are What We Eat' and the entry point is to set up a role-play restaurant. We decided that we'd create an Italian restaurant. The teachers wanted us to plan everything and take responsibility. So we talked about the things that need planning and then, in small groups, we brainstormed our ideas. Firstly, we focused on discussing the name for our restaurant; the dishes that would go on the menu and the equipment required. Here we are working in groups:

Poppies
In 2A we have been looking at some art work by Georgia O'Keeffe this week. The paintings we have seen are colourful, close-up paintings of flowers. One of her paintings in called 'Oriental Poppies'.
This reminded us that we'd read about poppies in an information book about Remembrance Day. Also, we noticed some of the teachers were wearing poppies.
On Friday Lauren's mum came into class and told us why she wears a poppy. Her father was a tank commander in the army. She told us a little bit about the First World War and the Second World War. She wears a poppy to remember and thank all the soldiers who fought in those wars, in other wars from the past and in wars still being fought today.
In our art lesson we made some poppy pictures. We used a new technique which involves using permanent ink on a plastic sheet then on the other side using oil pastels to add colour. Here are two photos of us working:
Come and see the finished results on Open Morning!

Planning a celebration
The Entry Point to our IPC topic 'Time Travellers' was for the pupils to work together to plan an event. We chose to celebrate Roald Dahl's birthday - 13th September. The Year 2s brainstormed ideas, wrote down aims for the event and then planned out how to run the celebration.
The event took place on Friday 12th September and we felt that we achieved our aim which was 'to have a fun afternoon to remember Roald Dahl, to learn more about him and to enjoy his books!'
Here is Esio Trot as an audio book:
Here is an example of the drama task we did.
