We have had such a busy week but very productive! Children have really enjoyed their turn on our trim trail when the weather has been fair. On Thursday, we had a lovely RE lesson all about angels. Children had many questions about them and also LOTS of theories too. We found evidence for them in the bible and then children wrote down what they believe about them.
We have finally met Charlotte, in our novel ‘Charlotte’s web. We had a fun lesson where we learned about formal and informal language, since Wilbur tries so hard to impress his new friend by speaking ‘poshly.’
RHE - Friendship
Following Wilbur’s encounter, we reflected on how to be a good friend. Wilbur feels friendless, since the other animals, for various reasons do not want to play with him. We talked together about how we could be better friends and what sort of things friends do. We have talked a lot in class about learning to trust each other and how to be a trustworthy, respectful and loyal friend to others.
In maths, we have begun our work on length and Perimeter. Science was great fun this week as children were given a mission - through discovery to find out how sound is made. They figured out, through many explorations that it is caused by vibration.
Christmas Craft Day today was such a success! It really did the children good to have some Christmas jollity and it was such a lovely atmosphere. Thank you so much for your donations. Children have all written a lovely Christmas card for a homeless person, which will be given to Streetlife before Christmas so they can add it to their gift boxes for each person struggling this Christmas.
Let’s Celebrate!
This week our learning certificates went to Lena who received a Bobby Bee certificate. You are always so enthusiastic Lena, wanting to answer every question and enjoying learning your learning so much! A Sadie Spider certificate went to Hollie-Rose for trying so hard and putting so much effort and detail in her work.
Recorder stars were Thomas and Kiefer
PE stars were also Thomas and Kiefer this week! Double win! You must have been trying so hard!
Notices this week.
You may have noticed a new ‘remote learning’ button underneath the ‘learning from home' button on the Year 2 class blog page. Please feel free to click on the button and have a look around. This is where tasks will be placed if your child is unable to access learning in school.
Please try not to bring in any unnecessary things from home. Water bottles, school bags and reading books are all that children should be bringing in. We ask that children do not bring in Christmas cards for each other as a precautionary measure.
Christmas Danceathon Day - Tuesday 15th December - This much anticipated annual event will return with a slight twist this year. The children can come to school wearing their PE kits and we will dance the day away to Christmas music when Miss Hornby sounds those school bells. Unfortunately there will be no gathering on the school playground to dance as a school community but we will dance our socks off in class! Again, donations of £1 for this event in the single coin.
Christmas Party Day - Thursday 17th December - This year we will be enjoying those Christmas party games in our classrooms. On this day, children can come to school in their best party clothes. A small snack of a chocolate bar or a packet of crisps with a drink (no fizzy please) can also be brought into school to be enjoyed after the party. We will also be enjoying a Christmas dinner for lunch.
We all hope you have a lovely weekend with your family. God bless,
Mrs Lyons, Miss Forster and Mrs Mather
