Class 2
An emotional day...
admin on: Class 2
Well I have to say that today has been one of the most difficult in my career so far, saying goodbye to the children this afternoon was very emotional and I'm sorry that I couldn't hold back the tears. Things are going to be different from now on and change is difficult for us all but I aim to make things as fun as possible. I'm not setting any homework for this weekend but I'll be starting home learning from Monday - so check the blog on Monday. I hope you've had chance to have a look at your remote learning packs. PLEASE, PLEASE keep commenting on the blog so I don't feel like I'm talking to myself! I saw this on social media and felt it said everything I wanted, so I'm just going to copy and paste it here:

We have worked incredibly hard this week at some incredibly challenging tasks! I'm super proud at how all children have approached telling the time in maths - a life skill that we all need. Some children that were struggling at the beginning of the week are now telling the time at five minute intervals! What an achievement that is!
Newspaper reports are not easy to write but we've done a great job of it this week, focusing on the Great Fire and using quotes from Samuel Pepys. We'll be writing them up in our best handwriting on Monday to display on the wall.
Another thank you to all of who that came to the assembly, it was great to share all our hard work with you.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I look forward to singing with the Music for Youth children on Sunday.

I just wanted to say thank you for coming to our first class assembly this afternoon. The children were so excited to share their work with you. If you did take any photos, please could I ask you to keep them for personal use and not put them on social media. Don't forget that next Thursday afternoon we have our PSHE open afternoon and family sharing.
Homework Friday 6th March 2020

What an amazing week we've had! We had a wonderful time on World Book Day and we've completed some amazing eye-witness recounts of the Great Fire. We stepped into the shoe's of Thomas Farriner's maid and wrote from her point of view. This week's homework is also writing about the Great Fire of London - I'm hoping the children will remember some of the language we've used in class.
In maths we've really focused on subtraction and using the number line method - Mathletics is all about subtraction, so ask your child to demonstrate the method to you. I've also set a 'test' on there - some children have told me that Mathletics is telling them that I need to set them a test, so I have!
Next week, we'll be telling the time, so please talk your child about this.
World Book Day vouchers have gone into bookbags tonight, why not pop down to Read this weekend to get a free book day book?!
Finally, 'Munch' has been in our class all week - we won this lunch time reward for our amazing hand washing (which is great news). This is what the class wrote about his antics this week...
Munch has had a lovely time in Y2. He’s spent some time in Pudding Lane – we’re hoping he didn’t start the Great Fire of London!
Munch helped us out in our complicated, fun maths lessons. He learned how to use a number line for subtraction.
Happily, he’s helped us learn about the Great Fire of London, writing about what happened through the eyes of the maid.
Curiously, he saw lots of soft, cute teddies in our class on Thursday because it was World Book Day! He even saw us all in our dressing-gowns and PJs for our bedtime stories.
Interestingly, he watched Sarah Morrell retell her beautiful story called ‘Molly’s Magic Brolly’.
He was very welcome in Class 2 and we will miss him a lot!
Have a great weekend.

World Book Day - Thursday
admin on: Class 2
We're all getting very excited for this Thursday's World Book Day!
The theme is 'Share a Million Stories', so we'll be swapping books with friends (please bring in a pre-loved book that you are OK to swap with a friend), using the wonderful picture book 'Flood' to inspire writing across and the school and then sharing bedtime stories at the end of the day. If you wish to join your child's class, then you are welcome into school from 2:45pm. Children are OK to bring in teddies and dressing gowns to get the full bedtime story effect!
