Happy Friday everyone. A huge thank you to all of you that sent in your extreme reading photos on TEAMS, there were some amazing ones! I think we'll make a display in school of them. I've popped another nice challenge on there for you, so you can get used to using TEAMS. This week, I'm please to see that we were KS1 Mathletics champions! You'll find an adding activity and a fact families activity on there this week. There's also a number bonds to 10 activity in the blue book - some many of the children don't know their number bonds and it is ESSENTIAL that they do - so please spend some time on this activity.
We've finished our 'Shackleton's Journey' book about the famous explorer today, why not ask your child about their journey and what they can remember? We did some beautiful chalk mountain pictures inspired by the book...

Finally, I just like to share the FONS virtual balloon race link:

Have a lovely weekend and I look forward to 'seeing' you all virtually at parent's evenings next week.
Stay safe,

As October 10th is World Mental Health Day, throughout the today, every year group has learnt about what mental health is, discussed this topic and completed different activities based upon this. Why not ask your child/ren about what they have learned today?

Homework 09/10/20
admin on: Class 2
Well we've made it to Friday again, the weeks seem to be flying by! This week has been another week of measuring in maths - both weighing and looking at liquids. We played a great interactive game on Tuesday - Mostly Postie, click here to have a go!
Today we've been collaging backgrounds for our paper boats - messy but fun! The children wanted to take them home tonight, but I think we're going to put them on display.
Thank you for your support, once again, with homework. Please keep trying to log onto TEAMS. I now have 14 families who have managed, but I'd like everyone - so please get in touch if you're having trouble. I've popped a little activity on there for you to try this week.
Spelling Shed this week is words ending in double consonants:
puff
fluff
bell
doll
grass
kiss
buzz
fizz
clock
back
Mathletics is measuring and weighing. There's also a little odds/evens activity in the blue book - it says 'click' on the number but please colour the numbers to show the odds and evens.
Have a lovely weekend.

Homework 2nd October 2020
admin on: Class 2
It's been another great week in Y2 with lots of measuring in maths and list sentences in literacy. We've also made a great job of our paper boats in D&T:
We had a looked at 'fact families' in maths, so we recognise that once we know one thing, we actually know four things!...
Homework this week is Mathletics (counting in 2, 5, 10 again and sequencing numbers), Spelling Shed:
went
was
why
what
when
who
which
I've added a little task on TEAMs to ensure you get used to using this platform. Thank you to those of you who logged on this week and completed the ship description - there were some amazing ones. If you have trouble getting on, please let me know. Keep up with the reading, I can really see a difference in the children that are reading regularly at home - always write a comment in the diary as I just love to read them and it really does matter to your child. Blue books have a 'dots and dashes' or 'beans and sausages' activity in there, children need look for the sounds in the words and either dot or dash them - sounds complicated, but the children are experts on this and know what to do!
Finally, we've talked a lot about 'independence' in class and being able to just have a go at tasks and activities without the need for an adult to be sat next to them. Lots of children, understandably, have lost a little of their self-motivation and so if you could chat about these things at home, it would really help us out.
Have a wonderful weekend, stay safe and see you on Monday!

Planting science experiment
admin on: Class 2
Thursday 1st October 2020
Today, we started our science experiment where we are comparing how seeds and bulbs grow in four different conditions. These are sunlight and water, sunlight but no water, no sunlight and water, and no sunlight and no water. We have planted our bulbs and seeds and will see how they progress over the next three weeks.
