Well what a fun-filled term this has been! We’ve packed so much into such a short space of time, especially with the snow week thanks to the Beast from the East. What a fantastic memory for all of the children to have experienced. We don’t know where the time has gone and we can’t believe it’s almost the summer term.
On Friday 16th March the children took part in a series of skipping challenges to raise money for Sport Relief. These included a team skip challenge, backwards skip, hoop skip and a skip relay.
The children showed great sportsmanship, cheering on their team and supporting each other. Not only did we have lots of fun, the money raised will go to Sport Relief and help disadvantaged people across the UK.
Thank you to all of you for your kind donations!
Yet another busy week in Year 2! In English the children have created their own stories after being inspired by the book ‘Orion and the Dark’. They created some excellent story maps with a wide range of vocabulary and used these as their plans for writing.
This week the children have become scientists. They have had the most fantastic time investigating and thinking scientifically. They have carried out an experiment on separating liquids, making predictions about whether the liquids would change colour, whether they would bubble or whether they would combine together… ask your children the outcome of that investigation…
We were very excited to celebrate a belated World Book Day on Thursday 8 March. The children dressed up as their favourite book characters and took part in a range of activities including sharing books with their buddies, making bookmarks with reading prompts, designing their own book covers and creating decorated book doors.
We hope you all had a wonderful time during the snow days and managed to make lots of fun memories playing in the snow!
Dear Parents / Carers,
We are taking part in eDF Energy’s Waste Week 2018, 5th-9th March. The theme this year is food waste and food packaging.
Many activities are planned over the course of the week and we need your help – please start sending in any clean, safe, empty food and drink packaging to your class. We will be sorting these into plastic, metal, card/paper and glass on Monday 5th March.
Welcome back! We hope you all had a wonderful half term. We have already had a fun-packed week with two Olympic Athletes spending the day with us on Tuesday which the children absolutely loved. They were in awe of these “celebrities” as they listened to their stories during the morning assembly and they were lucky enough to all be given a class PE lesson, led by the athletes. The children threw themselves into the challenge and really enjoyed their day. Thank you to Miss Blancke for organising it!
