Year 2: Printing, Christian input and Forest School

 Today the children got the chance to print their pumpkin that they made on the Harvest banner. 

Jack Curtis came in today from Dorchester Community Church to talk about kindness and how he uses his religion to express his feelings through art and music. Thank you Jack for your visit. 

This afternoon the children were so excited to use the conkers that had to make a necklace (we have them at school). Thank you to everyone that donated conkers for this. I am sure the children will be bringing some home!

Year 2: Information about our Harvest celebration on Friday

 

We can't wait to welcome lots of you to our Harvest celebration on Friday. After the assembly we welcome you to our classroom to try the wraps that the children have made. This will only be for 10/15 minutes as we will need to get ready for lunch, but it will be lovely for you all to see the classroom. 

If you or a family member are unable to make it then please do not worry. There will be enough parents (hopefully) in the room and staff members to make sure your child has someone to taste their wraps.

If you have a child in both assemblies then please do not worry. There should be enough time for you to attend both and taste their foods.  

If you have any questions please email me or see me at the door in the morning.

Year 2: Lovely calves and a fantastic muddy farm

We had a fantastic trip to the farm today! Thank you to all the parent helpers. After walking up the very muddy path we learnt about the foraged Maize and then went and saw the tractors unloading it. We then looked at the harvester in the field and went to see the new piglets. A lovely trip, thank you farmer Hazel. 

Staying on the farm theme, here are some pictures from when the calves visited 🤎

Year 2: Today and the rest of the week

 Just a reminder about the trip to the farm this afternoon. Your child can come in home trousers with normal shoes/trainers and then after an early lunch we will put wellies on. Everyone will need a coat today. The farm is very muddy at the moment! If your child is staying for rocket club please pack a spare set of trousers just in case. 

The children loved getting to meet the calves yesterday after the assembly from Craig's Farm Dairy. We have other talks this week including a Christian input and on Thursday they have the Dorset Literary Festival. 

Year 2: Our week so far

 This week we have been enjoying our themed fortnight. We have visited the tractor and even had our very own cow arrive! 

We have had some wet and windy weather this week and so have been inside to play 

The children have made their own pumpkin print blocks which we will be using next week for a special piece of harvest artwork.

This afternoon we had Chrissy from Wessex Wild come in and run a workshop on farming. She told us about her farm. We learnt about the different animals on her farm and where food comes from. The children got to cut and taste a variety of different foods.
