Praise assembly

There have been lots of improvements in reading and writing this week throughout the class, well done to all the children for their hard work and determination to do better and improve their work (green for growth!).

Special mentions to:

Andrew - super improvement with his reading
Charlotte and James - for the super twists in their story writing
Rosa - for her thoughtfulness
Finley - for his caring side to others in class

And in RE our topic this half term has been the faith of Islam and specifically how and when do Muslims pray, why do they do this five times day. The class had a visitor Adeel last week who came into school to talk to the class about praying. He showed the class his prayer mat, explained that you can pray wherever, he uses his office when he is working. the children listened really well, asked lots of questions and produced some informative writing in their literacy books.

Well done for their writing: Erica, Noah, Frank, William, Skye, Jamie, Poppy, Joe, Avril, James B, Odette.

Special well done for out of school success:

Erica - for super swimming!
Edward - appearing in the Echo, taking part in a staged production of Madam Butterfly!


 

The Big Write - 3rd February 2015

On Monday the 8^th of February we will be having our Victorian Drama day.  Please remember to send your child to school in the costume that they wore to the Priest House Museum before Christmas.  On entry to the classroom for this day only we would ask you not to come in with your child as we will be acting out our parts from the moment we open the door!  During the day the children will be finding out about what it was like for children to live in Victorian times.  They will then use all of the ideas that they collect along with ideas from home to write a diary entry as if they were a Victorian child.  This will be the second Big Write that year 2 have done and they really enjoyed the last.  At the end of a busy afternoon of writing they will be rewarded with a Victorian afternoon high tea complete with Victoria sponge cakes made with their own fair hands!  Please could you help your child to write ideas for what they could write about in their diary entry on the back of this sheet?  Write down anything a Victorian child might have got up to in the course of their day.  Please return the sheet to school by Monday.

Holiday home learning! - For the half term holidays!

As promised I've posted this a little bit earlier to ensure everyone has time to complete the task!  After half term we will be learning about the great fire of London.  So in preparation we would like the children to have a go at creating their own London street:

On Friday we have sent home today a cardboard cut-out of a house. If your child wishes to they can colour this in, cut it out and stick together ready to being in the start of next term.

As we will be studying the Fire of London, if you child wishes to make their own house out of a cereal box, etc then please do! It would be lovely to be able to make a street scene with the children’s houses, and will also help explaining about the spread of the fire and other facts!  

Thanks! Year 2 team
