Hello and welcome to Phoenix Class!
This term our project is all about ‘How has St Barnabas and the local area changed over time?’ We will be exploring our local area and school grounds looking at how human and physical geographical features have changed over the years. In Phoenix class we endeavour to try our best at all times and always aim high to reach our full potential. As we are now in year 2, we will be continuing to build our independence and work towards becoming inquisitive learners. We cannot wait to share our learning with you as we continue our journey throughout the year.

Term 6: Space Is life in space different than life on earth?
Term 5 Pirates
The children used google earth and atlases to identify continents and oceans. They spotted the continent we live in and found U.K. on the map. We used our compass skills to find continents which were north, south, east and west from Europe . We looked at different routes pirates could have taken and which oceans they’d have travelled through. We then used our geography knowledge to create our own globes.
Term 4 – Science
Here is our rocket mice experiment. We learnt about fair testing to ensure we got accurate results. We recorded our results and compared which materials made our mice travelled the furthest!
Making predictions and observing changes.

‘Warmley Wonderful’
Phoenix class out in the community spotting things that make ‘Warmley Wonderful’.
Bakery Visit
An exciting Visit to our local bakery as part of our Wonderful Warmley topic. The children ordered their own treat and paid for it by themselves, checking they had the right money. Phoenix class demonstrated exceptional manners and especially enjoyed sampling their treat when we stopped for a snack before heading back to school.
