Star Catcher Writing
3....2....1...blast off! Have you ever experienced space? Have you ever wondered how to blast off into the glorious galaxies beyond? Well, Year 2 enjoyed an immersive space experience that was out of this world! Not only did they speak to an astronaut, but they also learnt so many exciting facts that helped them with their writing. The children were challenged to write a persuasive advert for their very own star catcher that would blow their teacher's socks off! From Snatcher Catcher 3000 to Galactic Grabber 205, the children were super creative in designing their one-of-a -kind invention.

From one invention to the next, hop into our time machine to travel back to the 1800's to a place of revolutionary change. SQUEAKKK, hold on.. what was that?

Year 2 are excited to go on an adventure back in time, with Vlad to understand the impact of the 'Lady with the Lamp' ,that's right year 2 are going to explore all about Florence Nightingale and the significant person she was.
Remember to pack your hand sanitiser for this journey!
