Children were very sensible learning about body parts today. Most of them remembered vocabulary from Yr1. We talked about these being the scientific names that we might need if we ever have to talk about our privates to doctors. We had a few giggles and loved the story!

Here are the question box contributions from children and our responses. We will share the responses with children tomorrow and thought it would be useful to share them with you. RSE – Questions box and Answers

Again, please get in touch if you have any questions for us.

Thanks,
Year 2 team.

Good evening,

Tomorrow we will be covering body parts with year 2. I have attached the slides that we will be using.

Year 2 RSE 

We teach this in a very relaxed and open environment where children can have a giggle if they need to and feel relaxed enough to ask questions. We also leave a question box open for the next two weeks. We will not answer any questions that go above and beyond their year group curriculum, but may direct children to ask parents if they have any tricky questions that we can’t answer. We thought it was best to give you a heads up and please do ask us if you need any more information or have any questions yourselves.

If you chose to withdraw your child, they will be reading a story with a teaching assistant outside of the classroom during this lesson. Please let us know if you have changed your mind and would now like your child to participate after seeing the slides. You do not need to contact us if you have not withdrawn your child.

Many thanks,

Mrs King

Good afternoon,

We had a few parents asking for a remind about what children needed so hopefully this will help.

Thursday- come to school dressed in pirate clothes

Bring inside a labelled carrier bag –

• Comfy clothes to change into after pirate day – this can be shorts/tee/joggers/leggings/hoody/jacket and trainers– we will do a change from pirate clothes into these before we go to the YHA.
• They should have with them a light, waterproof coat.
• A sunhat

You will need to pack in a small ruck sack (something they can carry to their room)

• A small hand towel.
• A wash bag with soap, flannel, toothbrush and toothpaste.
• One small teddy/ comforter if needed.
• Pull ups if required overnight.
• Socks and pants for Friday.
• Casual clothing for the next day.

Please DO NOT provide your child with any of the following:

• Sweets, unhealthy snacks, fizzy drinks –the children will have plenty to eat and drink!
• Electronic devices, cameras or phones –they will be kept well entertained and we don’t want to lose anything valuable.
• Medication in their bag (this must be collected prior to the trip and stored safely by the accompanying adults).
• Money

We’re all looking forward to it and know we will have a wonderful time.

Thanks,

Mrs King

Good afternoon,

We are teaching time currently and notice some children are finding it tricky. The best way to get good at reading time is frequent practise. I have attached some resources as I know some of you will want to help out and practise at home. This is not homework but optional work if you have time.

Let us know if you want anymore.
