Year 2 Snow day !

What a lovely white morning it is!

We’d like you to have a lovely snowy day!

Here are some of the things we’d like you to do while you are enjoying the snow.

  • Read and record in their diary
  • TTRS links to current maths – practise your times tables

Computing

  • You could go on your own nature walk and take some pictures of nature in the snow or take some pictures of your house or garden- think about the skills you have learnt in computing… hold the camera still, does is have good lighting, make sure the subject is in the frame and check it is clear. Email your pictures to us on the class email newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk

Literacy

  • For writing we have decided we want you to record a diary of your snow day so we can use it in our literacy writing and Chance to Shine, it needs to include:
  • the food you had for breakfast, dinner and tea
  • the activities you completed – did you stay in your pjs? go for a walk? build a snowman? throw snowballs? snuggle up in the warm watching films? let us know what you did
  • how were you feeling when you found out it was a snow day, how did you feel in the snow

Art/DT

  • You could draw a picture of your of snowy house or garden.
  • Snow-related activities e.g. build a snow sculpture, can you make a few and order them from tallest to shortest?

Any work you complete please bring to school or email us on newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk

Have a lovely day,

Miss Lowe and Miss Hill

Y1-6 Parents’ Evenings w/c Monday 2nd December 2024

Y1-6 Parents’ Evenings Week Beginning Monday 2nd December 2024

To give parents and carers plenty of notice to book their child’s appointment, we will be sending out letters next week. Your child will be given a letter by their class teacher. Please fill out and return promptly. Please note that we are no longer using the online system and have reverted back to having paper letters. Our School Cloud subscription was over £1000 a year for a service we only used twice a year. Instead, we will use this money to continue to subsidise for trips and visits.

Halloween Disco

Year 2 had a wonderful time at their Halloween disco. Here is a spooky picture of them beforehand.

 

 

We hope all the children have a restful half term- we can’t wait to see them when they are back for a jampacked, fun-filled Autumn 2!

Please note that PE days will stay the same in Autumn 2. There will be no outdoor learning in Autumn 2 so children will not need to bring a spare set of clothes.

Thanks for your continued support.

After School Sports clubs – next half term (Y1-6)

After school clubs for next half term will go live tomorrow at around 7pm. Please note, we will once again be running an additional KS2 football club. The following clubs will take place:

Monday – Basketball & Netball

Tuesday – Gymnastics & KS1 Football

Wednesday – Badminton

Thursday – KS2 Football & Top Hat

Friday – Dodgeball & KS2 Football

Parents Evenings

Reception’s parents’ evening is the week beginning Monday 11th November. Paper letters were sent home last week with the children. If you haven’t filled in the form please do so and return to your child’s teacher.

Y1-6 parent’s evenings will be during the week beginning Monday 2nd December. Please note that we have reverted back to our old system for arranging appointments. For the last couple of years, we have used an online booking system. This system came with an annual subscription of £1,000, which was used only twice a year. Due to tighter budgets this year, we have decided to move back to our old system (paper letters) and put the £1,000 towards subsidising for trips and visits.

 

Many thanks
