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

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.

 

Year 2 message

What a fun day year 2 will be having on Friday 2nd February.

We have number day so please dress up in something with numbers.

Year 2 will have some fun maths activities ALL morning.

In the afternoon, we have our BeSMART treat!

Both year 2 classes won the cup because of their hard work.

Children can bring slippers and something cosy to wear.

We will be watching the BFG with some popcorn or a biscuit 😊

Thanks,

Year 2 team.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Year 2

From everyone in the Year 2 team, we’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We’d like to thank you for your consistent support, kind words and efforts with learning at home.

We really hope you enjoyed the nativity as much as we did! We were extremely proud of each and every one of them. What confident performers they were!

A few reminders for the New year for Spring term.

PE days – Monday-outdoors  and  Wednesday– indoors – please ensure children come to school on these days wearing the correct PE uniform.

Outdoor learning – Thursday– please ensure children bring suitable footwear and a change of bottoms to school (clearly labelled) as they will change in school.

The children will be expected to be reading at least 3 or more times a week, practising their spellings daily and their times table homework.

Times tables will be tested each Wednesday and their new homework practise sheet will be given out on a Friday with their spellings. The children will move onto the next set of times tables when they are confident with the inverse and speed.

Have a well earned rest and we can’t wait to see the children on 8th January ready for another exciting half term of learning.

The Year 2 team.
