MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I would just like to say how extremely proud I am of everyone in Year 2. They have all worked so hard to learn 13 new songs and learn their lines by heart. They were so brilliant in all of the Christmas Performances (as were Reception and Year 1) so WELL DONE!!!

We had our Christmas Party this afternoon, the children enjoyed all of the yummy food, party games and disco. The children all took home their special Christmas bags today. In their is their Victorian Christmas card and decoration, their 2014 calendar for you and a little gift from all of us in Year 2. I hope you like them. A big thank you goes out to Mrs Webb who worked with the children on all of these items.

Tomorrow is the last day of term. We have a Carol concert at 2.45pm in the school hall which I look forward to seeing some of you there.

I hope that you all have a fun filled MERRY CHRISTMAS, I look forward to hearing about all the exciting activities that the children will get up to in the holidays. Don't forget the the library has a reading competition running until early January.

Christmas party tomorrow

Well the end of the week is nearly upon us. It is our last performance tomorrow at 10.10am, if you haven't seen it yet then we look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

It is also our Christmas lunch tomorrow, please can your child bring in something to contribute for our lunch. None of the children need to bring lunch as if we all contribute then there will be enough food. We will then be having a party afternoon to celebrate the end of our performance!

Thank you

Year 2 team

Good luck!

GOOD LUCK IN YOUR PERFORMANCE, FROM YEAR 4 - YOU'LL BE GREAT!

Christmas Play and Reading competition.

This week we will be the narrators in the school Christmas Play. There will be three shows; Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Just a little reminder for the girls, please can they all wear trousers to school all week as we need them to go with our outfits.

On Thursday afternoon from 12.30 we will be having our Christmas Party. Thank you for everyone for  writing your names down for food. If you haven't done this then we are short on sandwiches so it would be great if we could have some of them.

I thought I would also mention about the Christmas Reading competition that the Library is holding. It is much like the summer reading challenge. I was so impressed with the amount of children in Year 2 that took part in this and I hope that you will take part in this challenge. For more information visit the libraries website or pop in! It really is a great place for children to explore a variety of books.

Well done Year 2!

Firstly I would like to praise everyone who was in the music concert today you were all amazing! All of Year 2 were VERY proud watching and listening to you play your instruments. We have so many gifted musicians in our class.

We had Genevieve on the drums and recorder, Charlotte playing the piano and violin, Eva playing the piano and recorder, Amelie on the piano and recorder, Fraser, Rosa and Martha on the ukulele and Eva, Sam, Megan, Martha on the recorders (so sorry if I missed anyone out). I am positive that we will also have some more musicians up on the stage next year as there are many children in Year 2 that have just started a new instrument.

Wow what a busy week we have ahead Year 2!


We are off to the priest house in Wimborne tomorrow to experience a traditional Victorian Christmas. Please make sure that your child comes to school in warm Victorian clothing.

On Wednesday the children will be having their Christmas dinner all together in the preschool hall.

On Friday this week it is Christmas Technology Day. The children get to choose three activities that they want to do throughout the day on Friday. I look forward to seeing some of your headwear that you have been designing, we will be having a special assembly to show off your hats!

Every morning this week I will have a list of party food on the board. If you wouldn't mind putting your child's name next to some of the foods that would be great. That is for next Thursday when we will be having a Christmas party with yummy food, party games, music and lots of FUN!

Lost and Found NON SCHOOL UNIFORM TOMORROW

This week we have been looking at a lovely story called 'Lost and Found'. On Monday we found a mysterious suitcase in our cloakroom, we didn't know who it belonged to! The next day we watched the story 'Lost and Found' and realised that the suitcase belonged to the little boy in the story. Throughout the week the children have been sequenceing the story and decideing what they would take in their suitcase to the south pole. The story has no direct speech, so today the children wrote their own speech.

In maths this week we have been writing multiplication number sentences. We have some great christmas maths for next week!

The children are sounding brilliant this week, we all love the songs in Year 2 and practice everyday. Please keep on practicing the lines for our play.

Non school uniform tomorrow. Look forward to seeing you all at the christmas fair. You can pick your child up from 3pm tomorrow afternoon.
