Cross Fell's Learning

This week Year 2 have started to learn about 2D shapes. We have been looking at the properties of shapes including the number of sides and vertices. Today the Year 2 children had great fun making 2D shapes out of paper straws discussing their properties as we worked.

It is so lovely to see our children choosing to read in the reading corner. Keep sharing that love of reading everyone!

Some fantastic work on 3D shape this week. Can you spot some 3D shapes around the house? Let us know what you spot.

Today in our Geography session we learned all about different types of housing in our local area and had a go at making our own versions using junk modelling materials. We can’t wait to go out into Alston for a walk to see everything we have learned about first hand. Great job everyone!

It was fantastic to catch some of our children independently choosing to read their RWI books during linked learning today, the confidence in reading is really shining through as is the determination to keep on getting better. Keep up the great work!
