Welcome to the Spring term!

Welcome to 2014! We hope you all had a restful and brilliant Christmas holiday. The children have come back with their thinking hats on ready for what we are sure will be a busy and exciting term. Below we have a few memories from last term for you to enjoy! Please do also refer to forthcoming dates on the right hand side.

Merry Christmas!

After a very successful Christmas Production, in the last week the children let their hair down a little and created their own photo booth shots. The children then designed their own cards to add the photos to... a festive hello if ever we saw one!

Languages week 18th - 21st November 2013

Back in November the whole school took part in World Languages Week which led to World Hello Day on 21st November. Year 2 received a special gold envelope in the introductory assembly which revealed their language was .... Portuguese! They learnt some Portuguese to present in front of the whole school and learnt about where Portuguese is spoken. The children even learnt how Brazilian chocolate is made ... they were very interested in this!1

3D shape building

Ever wondered other ways you could put jelly tots and cocktail sticks to good use? Well in true Blue Peter style, the children have been making their own 3D shapes and here are a few they made earlier...

 

 The activity was fantastic to help their understanding of different features of the shapes and they had great time in the process!

Investors in pupils

Year 2 have done a fantastic job working towards their targets this term - one week left to fill in those eighteen spots on our astronauts and fly to the star! The children will then receive a special treat from Mrs. Kelly's magic box!

The flower harvest in Colombia

We have been getting ready for our Harvest celebrations for this Friday's special assembly. Our link school in Colombia taught us about their Flower harvest and the festival they have to celebrate. We didn't want to miss out so we made our own flower arrangement. Here's Year 2 in action .... We'll reveal how our final art display looks when it's ready!

Mr. Twit comes to Year 2!

This morning the children were treated to (or horrified by!) Mr. Twit making an appearance - food in beard and all. As would be expected he stank the place out, offended children (and teachers!) explained why he had not taken a shower since he was seven, and gave us a few interesting insights into how he and Mrs. Twit met... it made for some fine reading when the children described Mr. Twit in Literacy later that morning!
