King Arthur Class (Year 2 & 3)
Welcome to the King Arthur Class Page!
The adults in King Arthur Class are:
Miss Megan Bridge - Class Teacher
Mrs Cae Hills - TA
Miss Zoe Martin - TA
17/1/25 - Art Day
King Arthur Class had the pleasure of working with Darrell Wakelam today, who helped them create a magnificent mosaic. The children picked this focus for their art day, as we are learning about the Romans this term. They soon gained an appreciation for how long it must have taken for the Romans to create such masterpieces; the miniscule pieces of tile were very fiddly and time consuming to assemble! Despite this, King Arthur Class have created a wonderful piece of artwork which they are all very proud of.
12/1/25 - Computing
We've come back after Christmas full of energy and ready for a new term!
The children enjoyed a 'hands on' computing lesson this afternoon, focused on using digital media. They explored different devices that can be used to take photographs and had a go at taking some themselves, by playing a game of 'photography bingo'. They had to capture a close up shot, a distance shot, an action shot, a selfie, a photo of a building and a picture of a person.
Their very own masterpieces will be uploaded soon!
20/12/24 - Christmas Party
A big thank you to the PTFA for their donation of our party box this afternoon - the children had great fun playing Santa Splat, charades and musical corners, as well as tucking in to some delicious party food!
We would like to wish all the children in King Arthur Class a wonderful Christmas and we look forward to seeing them all again in the New Year.
18/12/24 - Carol Concert
Well done to all of the children who took part in this year's Carol Concert at the church on Wednesday evening. The children absolutely loved singing their class songs 'Run Run Rudolph' and 'Let it Snow'!
13/12/24 - Pantomime
The children had great fun (oh no they didn't, oh yes they did!) watching the pantomime this morning. Some of their highlights included a giant cat, joining in with the singing and of course, shouting 'he's behind you!'.
12/12/24 - Nativity
KS1 put on a spectacular performance for the Nativity this year. Well done to all of the children, but especially to King Arthur's Year 2s who worked really hard to memorise their lines and performed them with such enthusiasm and confidence!
11/12/24 - PSHE
In PSHE today, the children explored the impact of words on a person's feelings. We started of by reading the story 'The Ugly Duckling' by Hans Christian Anderson and how the duckling must of felt being treated differently to the others.
We then got out a fresh, clean, perfect sheet of paper to represent a person's feelings. The feelings were then passed around, and the children said unkind things to it and crumpled it up. After saying these things, they were then encouraged to apologise. Even though they had apologised, they soon realised that they would be unable to return the paper to it's previously perfect state and that sometimes, apologies are not always enough.
We discussed the impact of words and how it is important to be mindful of what we say. The children then concluded this lesson by writing five kind things they could say to each other instead, and shared them with their peers.
11/12/24 - Christmas Lunch
The children enjoyed popping their crackers and wearing their festive jumpers and headwear for their Christmas dinner today!
4/12/24 - Christingle
The whole school ventured down to the village church on Wednesday for our Christingle Service. Freddie, Ella and Holly did an excellent job of reading their Christmas themed acrostic poems and the children enjoyed lighting their Christingles which they'd made the day before with volunteers from the church.
3/12/24 - Father Christmas
We had a special visit from Father Christmas today, who came to collect our letters to take back to the North Pole in his Merlin helicopter, as his sleigh was in the workshop ready for Christmas Eve!
25/11/24 - Maths Curriculum Event
On Monday 25th November, we will be holding a Maths Curriculum event in the School Hall, where you can pop in to see some examples of work the children and producing, explore some of the maths resources they use and ask Miss Bridge any questions you have about supporting your child with their maths at home. If you are unable to make this event, digital copies of all the documents and hand outs are available for download below and a separate appointment with Miss can be arranged if needed.
22/11/24 - Cinema Trip
On Thursday and Friday this week, Years 2 and 3 went to the Cinema for the InTo Film Festival. They enjoyed watching Despicable Me 4 and The Eagle Huntress, although the Year 3s found watching a fil with subtitles a very interesting experience!
20/11/24 - Religious Education
During Year 3 RE lessons this half term, our new village vicar Reverend Caroline Walker is coming in to class to deliver Godly Play sessions.
For our first session this week, the children explored the Holy Family and their significance to Christians. They used some figures for role play and completed some drawing about the Holy Family too.
15/11/24 - Children in Need
Thank you to everyone who donated towards Children in Need today - the children have had a great day wearing their PJs and bringing their teddies to school 💛
11/11/24 - Remembrance
King Arthur pupils helped to add finishing touches to the school's Remembrance display, before participating in a whole school service.
22/10/24 - Science
We concluded this half term's 'Animals Including Humans' topic in science by conducting an investigation into the impact of exercise. The children have been learning all about the major bones and muscles in the human body, as well as exploring the importance of a healthy, balanced diet and getting regular exercise.
Today, the children explored a variety of different exercises and studied the impact they had on their bodies. They learnt to measure their own heart rates and examined their physical responses, before recording their findings in a table.
18/10/24 - Environmental Education
This afternoon the children had great fun carving pumpkins in preparation for Halloween during Environmental Education!
15/10/24 - Ansford Sports Festival
The Year 2 children in Pendragon and King Arthur took a trip to Ansford for their Sports Festival this afternoon - they were taught lots of different skills by the pupils at Ansford and enjoyed getting to demonstrate what they had learnt!
10/10/24 - Hello Yellow Day
Thousands of schools, companies and communities across the UK came together today to make World Mental Health Day that little bit brighter by wearing something yellow and donating to YoungMinds. Thank you to everyone who made a donation in support of this charity!
8/10/24 - Harvest Festival
Despite the heavy downpour, the rain didn't stop us celebrating the Harvest Festival today! We heard all about the meaning of Harvest and how the Harvest is celebrated in other countries, and some of the children from King Arthur Class read their poems entitled 'Five Things I Love About Autumn'. It was also a lovely opportunity to meet our new Interim Vicar, Reverend Caroline Walker.
Thank you to the parents for bearing with us through the change of venue and to everyone who also made a donation to The Lord's Larder!
27/9/24 - European Languages Day
King Arthur Class came to school in the colours of Belgium's flag today to celebrate European Languages Day. We practiced saying some phrases in French, German and Dutch (the 3 official languages of Belgium) and even tasted some delicious Belgian chocolates and waffles!
20/9/24 - Environmental Education
The children had great fun making scarecrows to protect the crops in the allotment today!
17/9/24 - Jeans for Genes Day
The children wore jeans to school today to raise awareness of the daily challenges faced by those living with a genetic condition and also raise money to fund projects that make a tangible difference to the lives of those affected.
Thank you to everyone who made a donation!
13/9/24 - Art
Our art unit this half term is focused on painting techniques, so today we explored the primary colours and how they can be mixed to create secondary colours. The children experimented with colour mixing and created their own colour wheels to demonstrate their understanding.
13/9/24 - Environmental Education
We began our Environmental Education lessons this half term with a trip to the allotment. The children assisted Mrs Hewlett with preparing the plant beds and even got to pick and taste some edible flowers!
