Year 2 Summer term timetable

Wow, what a half term term!
From retelling The Three Little Pigs, gaining confidence using number lines to add and subtract, recalling facts about historically significant nurses, learning about how plants grow, exploring the sturdiness of structures in DT and much much more… Your children have never failed to amaze us. Well done Year 2! You have definitely earned this two week break to relax and have fun.

Also, there was some confusion over the PE days at the end of the day today.
Please check diaries as they are correct! PE days are Mondays and Fridays.
We will also have Outdoor learning on a Friday afternoon so please prepare children for rain, sunshine and everything in between :)

Have a wonderful Easter holiday!

See you soon,
Mrs King and the whole year two team.

Sorry Mums/Nans and other carers!

The children in Year 2 all made beautiful Mothers’ Day cards but Mrs King’s class were having so much fun with our Talent Show Auditions (and even getting a lovely visit from Miss Morrow) that we completely forgot to send them home.

The children have written some lovely messages so we hope you have a lovely weekend celebrating, and get an extended Mothers’ day by receiving them on Monday.

I cannot apologise enough Mums!
Mrs King

Also, here are just a few of our wonderful auditions… We had singers, comedians, dancers and much more!
Results of who made it through will be released soon but everyone who auditioned should be so proud.
We loved seeing all their unique talents.

Year 2 Snow Day

Good Morning,
We hope you are all keeping safe and warm at home. Here are a few gentle learning ideas that you can try throughout the day:

Year 2 Snow Day home learning ideas

These are suggestions to support home learning in a fun, relaxed way but you may already have some fun ideas. We know life and work continues for parents so complete as much as you can with no pressure. You can send photos to Newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk. The most important thing is that everyone stays safe and enjoys the day together.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to welcoming the children back soon.

Year 5 remote learning.

Good morning year 5! Happy SNOW day 😄❄️
Some tasks to keep you busy are on google classroom. You can complete them in any order.

1) Literacy and spellings
Complete the speech task on google classroom. Or, use this link: Speech interrupted: inverted commas and punctuation rules | Oak National Academy

2) Reading
Review a book at home. Create a book review in your reading diaries.

3) Maths
Complete the task on google classroom. If you can’t get on, here is a similar task:
Explain how to calculate the area of a rectangle using multiplication | Oak National Academy

4) Science
Complete the task on google classroom or create your own friction experiment.
Use the link to learn more about the force of friction: Friction: plan | Oak National Academy
Investigation ideas:
How does friction affect the speech of different materials across snow?
Which surface has the least friction?
Which material has the most friction for walking on snow/ice?

5) Competition time!
Get out there early… Who can create the tallest snow sculpture? Share photos with us and include height measurements.

Choose Your Location: Find a flat and open space where you can build your sculpture.
The more compact the snow is, the easier it will be to work with.
Plan Your Design: Decide what shape your snow sculpture will take. The taller the sculpture, the more wide you’ll need to make the base to prevent it from toppling over.
Measure the Height: To measure the height of your sculpture, stand a ruler or
measuring tape next to the sculpture and measure from the ground to the top. You might need a second person to help you measure accurately.

Have a wonderful day and stay safe in the snow!

We would love to celebrate with them on Wednesday 13th November. On this day, children are invited to bring in slippers to wear in the classroom and a boardgame they would like to play with friends in the afternoon.

Please no trading cards, as they can cause arguments, or games which need to connect to the internet (e.g. Nintendo switches).

Yr5 Shrewsbury Trip

Our Year 5 pupils thoroughly impressed today’s workshop leaders with their excellent behaviour and attitude to learning. It truly was a wonderful start to our new history topic and a celebratory end our monoprint art unit.

Below you can see the replica Viking burial we investigated as historians. We looked at their beautiful jewellery, ornate necklaces, shell game pieces and drinking horns. It made us wonder whether the Vikings really were the vicious, deadly invaders most people remember them as. Children handled Viking artefacts with care and learnt how to write in Viking runes.

We were so proud of the sketches, monoprints and the Viking clay pots our year 5’s produced.

Nature Walk

Year 5 enjoyed our nature walk around the local area.

We looked at many geographical features and used our fieldwork mind map to identify them:

We even had time for some field work sketches of the older houses.
