Welcome to Hazel Class
Hello and a warm welcome to Hazel Class. We hope that you have all had a fun and restful summer and we are looking forward to seeing you all soon!
Please look at our class page regularly for updates, photos and to find out what we are learning!
Please look at your child's reading record to get started on their home learning and begin their Year 2 reading journey: remember, they should be reading wherever possible.
I wonder who will be the first to get their 25 reads?
We look forward to an exciting year ahead!

Today we made a start to our gymnastics unit. We have been building on our knowledge of gymnastic positions from Year 1.
Wednesday 11th September. Today we were lucky enough to have a scooter workshop. Adam taught us basic safety skills and has enabled us to safely use our new school scooters.
Friday 27th September - We have been looking at how we can extend our knowledge of our shapes and use them on the apparatus
Take a look at our final pieces from our recent Art Day for the 50th Birthday Celebrations. We loved creating our ponds by mixing primary colours together.
We have been having a go at painting flames by mixing primary colours, in preparation for our final pieces.
This week in computing we have learnt how to record on the iPad and how to program our class mates, just like on Scratch Jnr
Today in Writing we have been using the app Chatterpix to get our character Vlad, from our new book, to come alive when we asked him questions.
Wednesday 23rd October, the children have filled their reward jar; this means they will be awarded with a class treat tomorrow afternoon. Well done Hazel on your hard work this half term.
Before half term, we were lucky to have a visit from the Fire Service. The children learned how to stay safe in an emergency situation, how to make a 999 call and tips to remember their address. Mrs Bailey even got the opportunity to race a child in getting dressed into the correct uniform (they only had 3 minutes).
The children created their own pieces of Art based on the work of Jan Griffier. I think you'll agree that they have done an absolutely fantastic job!
Hazel Class had lots of fun engaging with our Autumn 2 'Wellbeing Wednesday'. As a class we explored the key focus question 'How can nature support our wellbeing?'. We then took part in a carousel of activities both in the classroom and outdoors. We finished with some whole class bubble breathing.
This week the children have begun thinking about their diary entry in Writing. Before we ask the children to write their own, based on The Great Fire of London, we thought we would let the children experience, a safe, fire! The children absolutely loved the experience and were particularly excited by Mrs Sayer putting out the fire, which created a lot of smoke around Mrs Earl!
Our Fire Pit for Writing
This week in Science we have been investigating our senses and how these are key to survival. Take a look at some of our children exploring the sense of 'smell' and trying to guess (without looking) what was in my bowl.
