Y2 Maple Class, Necton C of E Primary School

Another successful year taking part in the RPSB Big School's Bird Watch. Thank-you Necton Eco-council for organising the afternoon. This years highlights included pheasants, buzzards and kites! 🐦‍⬛🌳@RSPB @NectonPrimary

Today we launched our second safety week of the academic year. We started thinking about healthy minds, by doing some Children's Mental Health Week activities. We thought about how our voice matters and what it means to be a good listener. #YourVoiceMatters @NectonPrimary

Maple class are really enjoying our craft topic this term in our art lesson. We have practised clay work skills working in response to Anthony Gormley, made repeating patterns on clay tiles and tried our hand at paper weaving. 🧑‍🎨📷@NectonPrimary

We were showing our understanding of scientific concepts today in Maple class, as we made models explaining different stages of the life-cycle of a plant. @NectonPrimary 🌱🌻

Maple class have been looking at changes in technology during our topic on Explorers. Some of these items seemed very strange to us today, as we tried to work out what they were used for! @NectonPrimary

We've had an exciting day in Maple class today following maps, launching rockets and sailing boats. Today we introduced our new topic for the term- Explorers! 🗺️🚀🌛@NectonPrimarySchool

Maple class really enjoyed joining in with the BBC Ten Pieces live concert today. We closed our eyes and concentrated, danced and moved and even created artwork. All whilst listening to these amazing pieces. 😀🎶#BBCTenPieces @NectonPrimary

Maple class have been learning about life-cycles and how some animals look like their parents at birth and others look completely different. These super-cute, tiny, baby guinea pig visitors look just like miniature versions of their mum!😍 @NectonPrimary

Maple class had a 'roarsome' time at the Roarr dinosaur park yesterday! Lots of learning, play and sunshine was enjoyed by all. 😎🦖@NectonPrimary @roarr_dino

The Necton Primary Eco-council were up at the pond today checking the equipment and trying out the new long-handled pond dipping nets and field study guides donated by our lovely FOSA parents group. We caught 5 baby newts in one sweep! Thanks FOSA! 🦎🐸@NectonPrimary

Maple class carefully released our beloved temporary amphibious class members into the pond today. From tiny tadpoles, rescued from a puddle, to fighting fit froglets! Good luck out there and thanks for helping us with our learning!🐸 @NectonPrimary #Nectonlovesnature🐸

Necton Primary's Eco-Council has done a super job of promoting #NoMowMay with a wildflower seed and cake stall. A big thanks to our wider school family for helping us raise over £100 towards our gardening area. @NectonPrimary @Love_plants

Maple class enjoyed helping out with the annual RSPB Big Schools' Bird Watch. Our local buzzards even made an appearance for the count. #nectonloveswildlife @Natures_Voice @RSPBEngland @RSPBbirders @NectonPrimary

Maple class have been having fun, whilst thinking about keeping safe. We practised crossing the road using the Green Cross Code. #nectonlovessafetyweek @NectonPrimary

Maple class tested their navigating skills today, as part of our enquiry lessons about explorers.We directed our team members safely across the school grounds to the moon!🚀🌕We compared this journey with explorers of the past. #neilarmstrong #nectonlovesexploring @NectonPrimary

Maple class have been doing some close up observations, as we head further into this terms science topic of 'Plants'. We've been discovering what is inside seeds and bulbs. #nectonlovesscience @NectonPrimary

Maple Class have thoroughly enjoyed forest school this term. What a final session with ice, sun, sleet and snow! We all came together to say thank-you to the woods and share in toasting marshmallows. Yum! #nectonlovesforestschool @NectonPrimary

What a wonderful Christmas performance from KS1 this morning! Congratulations to all of our brave performers and thank-you for braving the ice and coming to watch the show. #nectonlovesperforming @NectonEYFS @NectonY1 @NectonPrimary
