Hi all,
It's been a busy week back with lots to do!
We have had a grammar week in English and we have been brushing up on our knowledge of key terms such as: nouns, verbs, adjectives, conjunctions and contractions.
In maths, we have worked brilliantly on doubling and halving whilst working on counting up in multiples of 2, 5 and 10 too!
Here are some shots of our halving and doubling technique!
Children in Need-
As you may have seen in the newsletter, we will be running a range of fun activities for the children during the week of the 15th November for Children in Need. If you are in a position to donate, we are asking this to be done online via this link. Please don't bring any money into school. Thank you!

Forest School:
This week we read Room on the Broom. We enjoyed joining in with the story as the witch flew through wind and rain like we have had! We made brooms with sticks and twigs, carved wands using peelers and made some fantastic potions in our mud kitchen.

Hi all,
There goes the first half-term of Year 2! Well done Class 2 you have been excellent as always!
Thanks to everyone who brought in food for the harvest collection! The children have loved learning about plants and food. We have joined some live lessons done by the National Farmers Union and designed our own farms to grow food!
As you all know, our explorers topic has been a huge success! The children have loved learning about, talking about and playing about as explorers!
Here are a few photos from the week below.
I hope everyone enjoys half-term regardless of what you are doing!
See you back safe and sound in November!
Mr. H.

Good afternoon,
This week we have been measuring liquids in millilitres, writing letters to Ernest Shackleton, having a go at musical dancing to the sound of Annie, comparing Columbus to Armstrong and using watercolours to make an arctic scene!
Here are a few photos from this week!
Have a nice weekend!

Good afternoon all!
This week we have 'explored' the story of Ernest Shackleton, his crew and the Endurance further! We have watched real footage from 1914 and looked at the journey until Elephant Island. We still don't know their fate and supplies are dwindling! Will they make it home? We will find out next week!
In Maths, we are measuring weight in grams and kilograms! If you are up for a baking project, get the children to help weigh out ingredients!
We had a brilliant dance lesson this week, in which we had a go at putting together some tap moves! The class were excellent and by the end they all had new moves!
We finished off the week by taking a sea shanty we have previously covered and editing it to create our own versions, they were very good and it was wonderful to see how confident the class were to share their ideas with others!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Mr. H.

Hi all,
October is here already! I can't believe it!
Here are a few standout parts of our lovely week in year two!
Buddies! The children have had the opportunity to say hello to their buddies this week! I have heard several children coming out of school and telling you parents that they have had a play with their buddies from year five!
Shackleton and the Endurance! We have really been getting into the story of Ernest Shackleton this week. The class have acted out different roles on the voyage and we have watched some fascinating footage of the expedition, recorded by the expedition photographer, Frank Hurley!
Harvest! We have loved taking part in the live lessons in association with the NFU! We have loved learning about how we end up with food in our homes and where that food comes from!
Thanks and have a lovely weekend!
Thanks
Mr. H.
