Y2 have had an exciting term with lots of interesting events happening.
We have been learning about Katie Morag and the Isle of Struay.
Mairi
Hedderwick wrote the stories based on the Island of Coll, which is one of
the West Hebride Islands.
We have learnt all about Island life and have enjoyed reading about Katie
Morag, Granny Island, Granny Mainland, Nealy Beag and Baby Liam.
We had a wonderful Katie Morag Day where Granny Mainland and Nealy Beag
got married, we then had a ceilidah afterwards. In the afternoon mums,
dads and nannas came to do Katie Morag arts and crafts with us. It was
great fun. We even got some of our mums and dads to ceilidah dance with
us!
We have written letters and stories to Mairi Hedderwick, we hope our
stories give her some ideas.
We also visited the environmental centre at Guisborough to look at plants
and animals in the local environment. We saw lots of frogs and frog spawn
while we were pond dipping. We learnt about sticklebacks and kingfishers.
We also went on a minibeast hunt and found lots of worms.
The wooden animal sculptures were very good, and the rangers told us lots
of facts about the animals.
