RSE year 2

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 You do not need to contact us if you have not withdrawn your child.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

 

 

Ironbridge essentials kit list

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

KS1 Sports Day

Well, year 1 and 2 did not let us down with team support. I’m sure the rest of the school heard them chanting for teammates and their houses last Wednesday.

They ran, jumped and crawled their socks off! It was a close competition and we were so proud of all their efforts.

All our children loved watching parents get their competitive side out and commando roll into winning positions! Thanks for all the extra points you scored. We’re sure they contributed to the winning total.

And, there could only be one winner. A very special well done goes to the house winners…WENLOCK!

A huge thank you to Miss Jones, the crossbar team and all the additional adults who helped total points, set up races and generally organise the day. The afternoon ran incredibly smoothly thanks to your efforts.

Telling time – year 2

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.

TT Rockstars!

BK class definitely felt like rockstars!

Everyone looked fab so a massive thank you for your effort!
Today, we had lots of fun on TTRS 1:1 arena games (some children even beat Mrs King though she won’t admit it). We also battled it out during performance poetry and had lots of fun in our costumes today.

Shiver me timbers it’s a half term holiday! Rest up me hearties and batten down the hatches because we’ll have a busy summer 2. With the arrival of our chicks, sports’ day competitions and our residential we will certainly be kept busy.

See you all soon,
Year 2 team.

TTRS day in year 2!

Wow, Year 2 really were ROCKSTARS this week!!!
They worked their socks off in our SAT quizzes. We are all so proud of their efforts.

I can and I will became… I can and I did!

Tomorrow is our TTRS day so don’t forget to dress up like the rockstars you are.

If you had a letter about house point dress down day, you can choose between dressing as a rockstar or wearing your own clothes.

Best wishes,
Mrs King

Year 2 TT Rockstars Day

To celebrate the end of our SATs next week, we have decided to give children a ‘rock’tastic day!

We are inviting Year 2 children to come into school dressed as a rockstar on Friday 24th May. We will be making music, competing in electrifying TTRS games, performing powerful poetry and much more.

An easy dress up idea is bright clothing and crazy hair.

We cannot wait to see our rockstars!

BeSMART treat

Congratulations to Mrs King’s class for winning the BeSMART cup!

I am incredibly proud of their growing resilience in writing and improved proof-reading skills. Keep up the hard work!

We will be going on a small nature walk tomorrow afternoon to observe seasonal changes in trees. Children will begin to identify deciduous and evergreen trees.

As part of this we will spend time in the play area for our treat. Please ensure children have waterproof coats and comfy shoes :)

 

Year 1 & 2 craft club

We have loved watching your skills and confidence grow in the last 5 weeks :)

Please see some of the skills we have taught through the exploration of our Chinese New Year theme!

 

We have added to our dragons each week.

  • Year 2s were great at helping our year 1s draw around hands and cut out the tricky gaps between fingers.
  • We used cotton buds to print dots along our dragons’ bodies.
  • They have split pins to help them move.

We hope you like our super cool New Year dragons!

Last week we also worked hard to improve our painting techniques. We know how much paint we should have on our brush.
