Hi everyone, we hope you have had a lovely half term and are feeling ready to come back for the second half of the Autumn Term!
Just a reminder about our exhibition of learning on Wednesday 1st November at 2:30 in the school hall. If you have any cardboard boxes laying around at home please bring these in either on Tuesday or Wednesday. We look forward to seeing you there.
See you all on Tuesday for the start of a fun filled half term in Year 2!

Hi everyone! We just wanted to wish you all a happy and relaxing half term! All children have worked so hard during this half term and really deserve the break.
Children have come home today with their home learning for the half term. We are asking children to keep a diary and tell us all about what they have done during half term. One of the main focuses for this writing is for children to use capital letters, finger spaces and full stops.
If your child is in a RWI phonics group they would not have come home with spellings or a book bag book. The reasoning for this is some children may be changing groups after half term. All children SHOULD have come home with a library book.
Have a great half term!

Hi everyone, I just wanted to update you on a couple of things.
The children have filled their marble jar up half way. We add marbles to the jar when the whole class or groups of children have demonstrated amazing behaviours such as working well together, representing the school well on a trip and working hard in lessons. Due to this being filled half way, the children have earned a free afternoon where they lead their own learning. They are so incredibly proud of the achievement and are so excited for tomorrow afternoon.
We will be holding an exhibition of learning on Wednesday 1st November 2:30-3:30. During this time families are welcome to come into school and help their children take part in a task. All will be revealed on the day! However, if you do have any cardboard boxes laying around at home, please do bring these in before the day.
Any questions about this, please let me know!

Happy Sunday everyone! We cannot believe that we have one more week left of our first half a term in Year 2, time has flown by!
We have had yet another great week in Year 2. In Maths we have continued to look at addition and subtraction and have explored lots of different methods when calculating sums. In English we created a character and setting for an adventure story that we will be writing next week. In Science, we have continued to look at plants.
This week we were lucky enough to be visited by a very talented Author - Jack Meggitt-Phillips. He spoke to us about his books, and engaged all the children with his humorous story telling. On Wednesday we will be visiting another author at the Dorchester Literary Festival.
Parent consultations are also coming up next week, if you have not yet booked an appointment with me, please send me an email and we can book in a time.
See you tomorrow!

Computing in Year Two was hard today, we had to show our 'Reggie: The Resilient Tortoise" learning powers to be successful.
Our aim was to understand the function of 'buttons' in a program.
We began by understanding what we meant by the term 'button' -
Hi everyone, as per the letters that have been sent out previously. I am confirming the dates and times of our Year 2 author visits.
Thursday 12th October - 1:30-2:30. This is in the school hall with an author called Jack Meggit-Phillips. During this special visit, Mr. Jack Meggit-Phillips will engage our young readers in an interactive creative writing workshop titled "Writing with Beasts." This hour-long session will include puppetry, a Q&A with the author and readings from his latest book, "The Beast and the Bethany: The Villain’s Showdown," which is set to be released this Autumn. Your child will also have the opportunity to receive inspiration and prompts to create and finish their own short stories.

Hi everyone, we hope you have had a great weekend!
We have been very busy in Year 2, however, it has been a great week. This week we visited the farm and the children were amazing and represented the school incredibly well. We also had a visitor this week who talked to us about Judaism. We also made challah bread which the children loved making and eating. Harvest festival was a great success and children enjoyed making their own healthy wraps.
In Maths we started our new unit of addition and subtraction which we will continue this week. In English we wrote a recount of our trip to the farm. This week we will be focussing on a book called 'into the forest' which is going to support our adventure writing. In Science we continued to look at plants, which will continue next week.
In Computing on Monday, we were seeking to understand that different objects have different attributes (properties). We were also seeking to understand what different events do in code.
We explored these concepts in the lesson by taking on Purple Mash's SNAIL RACE challenge -
Hello everyone, we hope you've had a good weekend! This week in Year 2 we have had lots of fun!
In Maths we have continued to look at numbers to 100, we looked at counting in 2's, 5's, 10's and 3's. In English we focussed on the book 'How to wash a woolly mammoth' and wrote instructions on how to do this. We then illustrated our instructions with a picture. In science we continued to look at plants.
This week we are going to the farm on Tuesday. We will be leaving around 9:30 and plan on being back for lunch time. We are looking for one more volunteer to join us on this visit. Please let me know if you would like to join us. Please can you send your children in with wellies or suitable shoes, a raincoat (just in case) and also children can wear trousers of their choice.
Friday is harvest festival! This starts at 10:30 and will last until 11:15. All families are welcome to join us.
See you all tomorrow!
Any questions, please let us know!
