  • WELCOME BACK MESSAGES AND HOMEWORK

    Published 18/04/23, by Rosie Jackson

    Welcome back! I hope you all had a super Easter break and managed to relax with family and friends. This new term we have a lot of new and exciting topics for the children to learn and we are all very much looking forward to warmer weather as the weeks progress.  

    Please remember to keep reminding your child to practice their weekly spellings in preparation for our Monday spelling tests. Physical spelling sheets are provided every Monday for your child to take home and learn, ready for the following Monday. There are also the termly overviews of the spellings in the back of your child's Reading Roots Record Book. 

    This first week back, the children will receive a new homework sheet (History) for this half-term. Please complete at least three different activities to bring into show and tell afternoons (Monday) to share with the rest of the class - if your child is feeling extra creative they are more than welcome to complete more than three activities. The more the merrier. 

    Please continue to keep an eye out on Doodle Maths as assignments are regularly added and using the website often is great practice for keeping learning fresh, especially in preparation for the upcoming Year 2 SATs in May. 

    As part of out Year 2 SATs prep, the children will be provided with some extra worksheets (additional if requested) to help support their learning and ensure they feel a little more confident within their areas of learning.

    Below you shall find attached all the key documents for this half-term.

  • HAPPY EASTER HOLIDAYS

    Published 31/03/23, by Rosie Jackson

    Another term has come to an end and all the children have deserved a long Easter break after their hard work and effort over this Spring half-term.  I hope you all have a wonderful time off and I look forward to seeing the children back for Summer 1 refreshed and rested.  

    A few last reminders: please continue to look over the Year 2 Common Exception words and your child's interim report targets, as well as the weekly spellings in preparation for their test on Monday 17.04.23. I shall also be setting some Doodle Maths assignments in case you have some free time on your hands. 

    Enjoy Easter egg hunting!

  • Seaside Holiday Photos

    Published 28/03/23, by Claire Jones

    Hello,

    We are excited to announce that our next history topic is 'Seaside Holidays'. We are going to be looking at seaside holidays today and in the past. This includes Victorian seaside holidays and holidays from the 1950s/1960s. We would love to have photos of your child at the seaside if you have them and also if you do have any historical artefacts (souvenirs etc) and photos, that would be great! Please send these in named and in a labelled envelope in the new term. We will photocopy these and display them in the classroom.

    Thanks, 
    Mrs Jones

  • SPRING 1 - WHAT HAVE WE COVERED SO FAR?

    Published 21/02/23, by Rosie Jackson

    The children have worked so hard during Spring 1 and so needed a well-deserved rest. We have been loving our Science topic: Animals, including Humans as we have been looking at animal life cycles and different types of animal offspring. We have also been fantastic artists by creating pieces of artwork inspired by Paul Gaugin and Claude Monet. Year 2 love their art lessons as they find them relaxing and enjoy being able to get in touch with their creative side. During our R.E. lessons, we have been exploring Christianity and how Jesus valued friendship and had 12 disciples. We also enjoy our role-play sessions when we act our parts of a story from The Bible and work together in groups to freeze-frame a key scene of a story. Lastly, the children have worked so hard in their English lessons by learning new narrative text maps as a way to really understand the events to a story. We are looking at the story of Ganesh and how he travelled the entire world from reading different books about all of the countries!
