Year 2 trip to Cosford Air Museum
On Tuesday 13th March Year 2 went on a trip to Cosford Air Museum, as part of our learning unit. The children has a brilliant day and were overwhelmed seeing all of the different life size aeroplanes and other vehicles such as army tanks. Whilst we were there we completed a 'Lets fly' workshop where the children were in a life like airport where they had to check in, go through passport control, security and go onto the aeroplane. Children were acting as cabin crew dressed up and serving passengers whilst other children took the role as the passengers sat on the plane. We also took part in another workshop where we did a science experiment to see which material was best to make a parachute. Also during our day we had a look around the museum and experienced 'fun n flight' area. We had a fantastic day!

World Book Day
On Thursday 1st March Joseph Turner celebrate World Book Day. All of the staff and children dressed up as their favourite book character. Each year group had a theme to follow. In year 2 we chose to focus on the author Roald Dahl as this links with our current learning unit in school. Throughout the day we looked at various books written by Roald Dahl along with the different characters in his stories. Children wrote brilliant character descriptions to describe characters from his stories. During the afternoon children created a new Roald Dahl character for their favourite book. We had such a fun day!

Edgmond Day 2
Edgmond Hall Day 1
After arriving at Edgmond Hall the children settled into their bedrooms. Children made their own beds and unpacked suitcases into wardrobes. It was lovely to see children working together as a team to help each other. After lunch we went elf training. Unfortunately all of Santa's elves came down with Elf Flu so we had to train hard to help Santa out. We all passed our elf training so there were lots of happy faces. Once we had our tea we got all of our warm clothes on to get ready for our night walk. Whilst out on our night walk we found one of the elve's workshops. Luckily the elves were out feeding the reindeers so we managed to sneak in and have a look. Before bed the children had hot chocolate and a biscuit and then went up to our bedrooms for a good night sleep before a busy day tomorrow.

After this children learnt all about The Great Fire of London and fire safety. We learnt about the clothing the fire fighters wear, different jobs they do and the 'stop, drop and roll' rule.
