Year 2 Party - 23rd July 2014

Reminder: Our Year 2 party is this Wednesday 23rd July.  Children need to come to school in their uniform.  They will need a packed lunch as we will be having a picnic together at lunchtime.  We are hoping to have a visit from the ice cream van and if the children wish they can bring a small game to play.  No electrical games please.

Flanimal Videos

As part of our work in literacy on Information Reports, we visited the e-learning centre and produced a documentary on based on Flanimals - Pointless animals originally designed by the famous comedian - Ricky Gervais.  Enjoy looking at the images of some of our creations and few of our videos.

Year 2 Camp at Wollaton Park

Although a while ago now, the thirty seven children that joined us at Wollaton Camp had a fantastic time.  We enjoyed beautiful weather and spent a lot of time outside exploring Wollaton Park  with the deer!  On the first day we played team games together and then rotated around three activities: a scavenger hunt, a tour of the park and shelter building.  That evening we enjoyed listening to a story teller around the camp fire and then ate toasted marshmallows.  After an eventful night, we went to the hall and the adventure park before getting the coach back to school.  Here are some photos of our trip with a short video to follow next week.

Lunch times in Year 2

Chocolatiers - Enterprise week

Enterprise week saw Year 2 don their hairnets (very professional don't you think?) to design and create a brand of chocolate. The children researched and designed their own chocolates including their own brand name and packaging. We even had a graphic designer from a London design agency have a look over them and she was incredibly impressed with the high quality of work from Year 2. And of course we couldn't end the week without watching ... Charlie and the Chocolate factory!

Blooming lovely!

We want to thank all the parents who supported their children with creating an Easter Garden - the results were outstanding and made the Easter Garden competition a tough one for the judges to choose the winners! Congratulations to Shelby who made a very thoughtful Easter Garden.

 

As an Easter treat for their parents, the children also created some beautiful symmetrical eggs for their easter cards - here's a taster of a few!

 

 

Year 2 Spanish Picnic

'Vamos en un picnic...'

The children worked hard last term in their Spanish lessons learning vocabulary for their end of term treat - a Spanish picnic! You can see from the photos the children had a fantastic time whilst practising their newly learnt language. ¡Fantastico!

 

If your children would like to practise some Spanish at home the BBC has a lovely interactive website they can use:  BBC Primary Spanish
