Friday 14th September 2018 - Homework & Reading

All children will be bringing home their homework book today. Homework for the federation will be accessed on line this year via Reading Eggs/Eggspress and Mathletics. A guidance to this along with your child's login details is stuck into their homework book. We appreciate not all families have access to the internet therefore Year 2 will run a homework club on a Wednesday lunchtime. 

 

 

Reading books have also been sent home today, children will no longer earn book worms for their reading at home, but please continue to read at home as this makes a huge difference to a child's progress.

Monday 22nd January 2018 - David the Bee Farmer

Today we had a visitor in Year 2, David the Bee Farmer. He came to talk to us about bees and the life cycle of a bee. It was really interesting, and we all (even the teachers) learnt lots of new facts.

Did you know...

  • Bees only live for 9-10 weeks, however the Queen bee lives for 3-4 years.
  • A bee flies up to 15 miles per hour
  • Up to 50,000 bees live in one hive
  • A worker bee makes a teaspoon of honey in their lifetime

Why not visit his website to find out more about him

Wednesday 11th October 2017 - The Crystal Maze Maths Day

All the children took part in a Crystal Maze themed maths day. We had human hungry hippos, water challenges, puzzles to work out, money to find and many many more challenges. Once crystals had been collected it all ended with time in the dome to collect golden tickets. It was an awesome maths day!

Interviewing Mr Green

 

Wednesday 4th October 2017

 

Year 2 have been for a tour around the school this week. We noticed different things about the school and then thought of questions we could ask someone who knew the school many years ago. 

Mr Green kindly agreed to let us interview him.  He has worked at our school for 33 years, so knew a lot of information about the school.

We discovered that Purple Class and Orange Class didn't exist over 10 years ago. How strange is that! Also every class had a fire in to keep them warm as there was no central heating.

 

Year 2 hold a protest

Friday 23rd June 2017
The Year 2s decided to hold a protest to demand they'd had enough of SATs and hard work and wanted to have a festival instead to celebrate the end of all that work. They chanted around the school, 'no more work' and wrote persuasive speeches which Mrs Smart listened to, and eventually gave permission for the festival to go ahead.

To launch our new topic 'Was the 60s really groovy baby?' Year 2 spent the day listening and dancing to music across the decades. It was a fun packed day!

Thursday 8th June 2017

Deadly 60 fashion show

Friday 26th May 2017
To bring our topic 'what is the deadliest living thing' to an end, the Year 2 classes have been creating their own deadly animal. Thinking about the habitat in which it lived, the teams had to come up with deadly features in which it needed to survive. Then during SATs week they designed and created it, finishing in prowling down the catwalk.

Year 2 Banquet Day

Wednesday 5th April 2017
Year 2 had a fabulous day going back in time to life in a medieval castle. The knights learnt to fight and joust, the lords and ladies learnt to dance, the minstrels and jesters entertained us, the cooks worked extremely hard and the gong farmers checked the toilets all day! It all ended in a medieval banquet where everyone got to enjoy the cook's hard work.

The Three Little Pigs

Year 2 have been exploring the use of storytelling as a tool for helping them build up a bank of narrative patterns that they can use to help them create their own stories.

Year 2 Tri Musical Performance

6th March 2017
Year 2 treated the rest of the school to a tri-musical performance today. In music lessons with Mrs Haywood they have been writing their own poems and putting these to music which they have written, as well as playing the music on the recorders. It was a real treat for the children and staff and a great opportunity to showcase all their hard work.
Well done everybody!

Unfortunately there will be no holiday clubs running at school this October half term. We will keep you posted of any future Holiday clubs.
