Year 2: Information about our Harvest celebration on Friday
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: Last Friday's praise
Apologies, I forgot to share this lovely photo of our children who were praised on Friday. Well done super 5 (1 child not in the photo). Amazing effort. I always explain to the children that even though they might not get a praise certificate this week, I am really proud of each and everyone of the children.

Year 2: The beginning of our Food, Faith and Farming fortnight
Tomorrow marks the beginning of our Food, Faith and Farming workshop. We have a number of things happening this week. We share the timetable daily with the class but here is an overview of the week.
Monday (tomorrow)- beginning of our themed fortnight. In the afternoon we will be doing our harvest artwork.
Tuesday pm- we have a visitor coming in to lead a workshop on 'what's in our lunch box'. This links really really well with our Science and DT looking at a healthy balanced diet. The children will be tasting different foods.
Wednesday pm- Judaism workshop with a visitor where the children will be making challah bread.
Thursday- we have an Optometrist visiting to lead a workshop on our eyes.
Friday- Act of Kindness non school uniform day with a £1 optional donation.
Just a quick heads up for the following week:
Tuesday 15th- farm visit. Home trousers, wellingtons, coat/waterproofs needed please. Spare set of trousers and shoes would be great. If you can help please let me know.
Friday 18th- Dress like a farmer day. Harvest assembly and tasting of our wraps.

Year 2 Science: Investigating how germs spread and how to stay healthy.
Today in Science we discussed how germs can spread through not washing our hands properly. We investigated what happens when we do and how to wash our hands properly by watching the wash your hands song.
Then in groups the children looked at what happens to germs when we sneezed they had a spray bottle (nose) and a piece of paper to see how much the germs spread.
