Our trip to the Gregg's bakery

Date: 15th Nov 2024 @ 9:15pm

This week has been very special in 2AH! We have been extremely busy with starting our subtraction work in Maths and having school photos taken. This week we also had Remembrance Day on Monday, in class we discussed why we have Remembrance Day, the meaning of wearing a poppy and completed some creative tasks to show our thanks and remembrance. It has also been anti-bullying week, the class discussed choices which are and are not respectful, responsible and safe. We discussed how we can show kindness in our classroom, to our friends, our family at home and others. The children had some lovely reflections, discussing how using our voice to speak up is brave and that we all deserve to be treated with kindness. 

To end our week, we had our class trip to the local Gregg's bakery. This links to our current history topic 'Could the Great Fire of London happen in Clayton?'. We have explored how the Great Fire started in a bakery on Pudding Lane, and how ovens and bakeries are different now compared to when the fire started in 1666. At the Gregg's factory, the children were able to see all of the different machinery used to make bread rolls and pizzas. The children had a go at sorting their own pizza dough ready to be baked and also enjoyed decorating their own gingerbread men. We had some special visitors, including Pudsey Bear who the children were extremely excited to meet. Take a look at some of our photos below:

The whole class have been great representatives of our school whilst out in public this week and I am so proud of how they are working in Year 2. For being so incredible during our trip, and during the whole week, I have awarded our behaviour star this week to the whole class. Well done 2AH, I am extremely proud of you all!
