Home Learning Photographs - Week Ending 1.5.20

I can’t believe that we’ve reached yet another Friday.

I have loved receiving your photographs this week. Your creativity in your learning has been superb! I have been particularly blown away by your fantastic English work. It looks as though you’ve all enjoyed the Roald Dahl poems. I have also been receiving lots of different emails telling me that different awards have been achieved on the different learning platforms, including more than 30 books read on Epic and lots of sections complete on IXL. Keep it up Year 2!

Also … after looking through all of your friend’s home learning, you might just see a little message from a familiar face and a particularly wriggly puppy!

I hope you are all keeping well!

Stay Safe and God Bless!

Good Afternoon Year 2!

This week I have been blown away by your creativity and enthusiasm in your learning - your photographs and emails have made me smile everyday! You are all working so incredibly hard at home and the quality of the work you are producing is great. I hope you all enjoyed eating your baking creations - they looked delicious and made me very hungry. Your target practice games were also fantastic and many of you have made superb starts to your Grace Darling projects.

Enjoy looking through all of the photographs of you and your friends.

Have a lovely weekend with your families,

Miss Woodend

Home Learning Photographs - Week Ending 17th April

Good afternoon Year 2,

I have been amazed by how well you have sprung back into your learning this week. Receiving your photographs really does make me smile (although it does make me miss you even more!). Thank you parents for your feedback of the learning too. It has been great to hear that many of the children are able to access the learning independently.

So many of you have made wonderful dens and I love that some of you even slept in yours over night! Your geography maps have also been superb, with many of you using your daily exercise to help you with this task.

I hope that you have the best weekend you can in the current situation. Get some rest and enjoy precious time with your families.

Stay Safe and God Bless,

Miss Woodend

Home Learning Photographs!

Good evening!

Thought I would brighten up your day a little more with more home learning photographs.

Looking through today’s photographs got me thinking about this term’s virtues ‘grateful and generous’. Although things are a little different and we are having to adapt to different day to day lives, maybe you could sit down as a family this evening and have a think about what we are grateful for and how we can still be generous in these tough times.

I love how many of you have managed to take your learning out into the lovely sunshine over the past couple of days.

Sending my love,

Miss Woodend

Year 2 Complete First Aid Training!

Year 2 had a very busy morning practising some incredibly valuable life skills. They listened so carefully to Andrea who came into class to teach us all about what to do in emergency situations, which ranged from choking to broken bones! Well done Year 2 - you will all receive your certificates tomorrow.

"Rest is as important as working hard"

The half term holidays have arrived and my goodness, the children most definitely deserve a break! This week has been an incredibly busy one, with lessons changing a little due to Safer Internet Day on Tuesday and our visit from Paralympian Craig McCann yesterday.

Safer Internet Day is always great, as it gives us all time to stop, discuss and really think carefully about how we are using technology and how we can keep ourselves safe whilst doing so. This year we looked closely at our online identity and what this looks like for each of us. We then thought about the digital footprint we create whilst using technology. I really do encourage much more conversation around this at home as it such a current but important topic. Children are using technology and devices much more in their daily lives, and it is up to all of us to help and educate them into using these amazing learning platforms safely and appropriately.

I know that, like myself, the children found the sessions with Paralympian Craig McCann truly inspirational yesterday morning. The enthusiasm in the hall whilst the class completed their four athletic challenges was a joy to witness and the encouragement given to others was a delight. Craig then led an assembly and told us all about his hopes, dreams and challenges he has had to overcome in his life to help him to get to where he is now. He left us all with one simple message - never turn down an opportunity given to you, it may never come round again!

In amongst all of these different activities, the children have also completed superb learning in usual lessons. The class have finally finished writing their own Frog and Toad adventures in English and began looking at the new topic of shape in maths.

I hope that you all have a wonderful break and manage to spend some quality time together as families. Have fun and stay safe.

Miss Woodend and Mrs Connolly
