What are the main features of a fairytale?

This week Year 2 all had a fantastic trip to Shrek Adventure!  The children boarded the magical bus to travel to Far Far Away.  We got to meet lots of fairytale creatures and immerse ourselves into the story.  The children had to collect ingredients needed in order to find Shrek and make it home safely.  We then participated in an English workshop to learn about how fairytale are constructed and about the key characters in fairytales.  We then continued this work in our English lessons throughout the week.

Topaz Class also enjoyed a trip to Pizza Express where they learnt how to make their very own pizzas.  Buttercup Class and Yellow Class are looking forward to going there soon!

In Maths we have been using bar models and number facts to solve problems.  In Computing the children recapped their coding skills using Scratch and learnt how to change, edit and program Sprites.
