Today we invited the fire brigade to OLSJ to help year 2 learn about what it would have been like in The Great Fire of London.
First we built houses in the style that they were made in 1666. Then we placed them really close together.
The firemen set fire to our houses and the wind pushed the flames from house to house! It was so exciting.
Luckily, the firemen were able to safely put the fire out!
Year 2 have been learning all about The Great Fire of London.
Last week, we took a trip to St Paul’s Cathedral to learn more about the Great Fire and how it changed London forever.
The staff at St Paul’s were so impressed and commented on our children’s fantastic knowledge and learning on The Great Fire of London! They should all be really proud of themselves. 
This week we have been learning all about fractions. We have found fractions of a number and also found fractions of pictures.
Attached is this week’s homework on fractions. It is a fractions game where you roll the dice and colour the fraction of the shape. As a challenge try 2/3 or 3/4.
Grammar homework is now online.

Any questions, please come and see your child’s class teacher.

Have a lovely weekend,

This week’s homework was based on our learning throughout the week.
In English, we have been learning about similes and using them to make our writing really interesting to read. For homework, the children need to complete the worksheet where they will use similes to describe themselves.
In Maths we have begun learning about fractions. Please complete the worksheet and find half and a quarter of the shapes. It is not as easy as it looks! There are lots of different ways.
If you have any questions regarding the homework, please come and see us and we’ll be happy to help!
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Allison and Miss Cargill.
