Secret agent training - week 2

 Happy Monday everyone! We hope you are all well and enjoyed the sunshine over the weekend. We can't believe this is the final week before half term, meaning that we only have one half a term left of year 2.

We are one week through our 'secret agent training' (SATS) and I am so so proud of how all children have approached this. This week we will be focussing on the Maths Papers, this will be done in 3 groups. When children are not taking part in the test they will be taking part in activities that link to the curriculum. Any questions about this please let me know. We are planning to have a treat on Thursday (if all papers are completed) to say a big well done to all children. This will be blogged on Wednesday.

On Friday we are off on a trip to St George's trip. An email has already been sent around about this. Please let me know if you would like to volunteer to join us on this trip.

Any questions, please email me!

This week in Year 2

Hi everyone, hope you are all having a good week so far. SATS have arrived in Year 2 and so far the children are enjoying this process due to them having their own Secret Agent badge, and the adults keeping things very light hearted in the class. Some children may be doing different activities whilst others are sitting the tests. We are administering all tests in smaller groups to ensure children don't get stressed out. 

Just a reminder, we are swimming on Thursday afternoon. Please send in children with their swimming kit.

Any questions, please email me.

Year 2 - Week 3

Hi everyone, we hope you have had a lovely long weekend and enjoyed the coronation festivities! 

We have had yet another amazing week in Year 2, your children continue to make us feel so proud.

In Maths last week we took part in Maths assessments and also accessed Numbots. This week we will be focussing on specific SATS questions to look at different ways to work out questions. In English we wrote our own fiction stories based off a plan we produced. The stories are truly amazing. This week we will be writing Indian animal fact files. In Science we continued to look at plants and explored different eco systems.

Next week SATS (Secret agent training for the children) start. If you wanted any extra information about this a letter will be coming out this week. However, please feel free to talk to me in the morning or after school.

We will be swimming on Thursday, please send your children in with their swimming kits. The children are doing so well with their swimming which is lovely to see.

We still have some children without PE kits in school, please can you ensure your child has theirs in school.

See you all tomorrow!

Farm trip tomorrow

Just a reminder about the Year 2 farm trip tomorrow. Please can you send your children in with a pair of wellies (they can wear these into school), a coat and they can also wear home trousers. School tops and jumpers must be worn please.

Any questions, please email me.

Week 1 - Summer term and farm trip

Happy Sunday everyone!

Wow, I am so impressed with how well your children have settled back into year two after the holidays. They really have hit the ground running and I am so proud. 

In Maths we have looked at the unit of time. We looked at o'clock, half past, quarter to, quarter past, time to 5 minutes and also minutes in an hour. Children came home with a clock to help them practice at home. Next week we will be moving onto statistics. 

In English we have been focussing on The Jungle Book and writing character descriptions. Next week we will be writing Jungle Rules and instructions for looking after certain animals.

In Science we are looking at plants and this week we planted some seeds and compared seeds and bulbs. 

WOW! SWIMMING WAS AMAZING! We had our first swimming lesson this week at 1610 and the children were incredible. We will not be swimming next week due to school closure, however, this will continue the Thursday after.

On Wednesday we will be going to Maiden Castle Farm. Children can come into school with trousers suitable for the farm, however, we ask that they wear their school t-shirt and jumper. Please also send children in with wellies and a waterproof coat. Any questions about this trip, please let me know.

See you all tomorrow,

Swimming tomorrow

Hi everyone, just to remind you that we will be starting our first swimming session tomorrow. Please ensure all children come into school with the correct swimming items.

If you could pass this on to families who you know do not always look at the blog, that would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you in advance,

Miss White 

Year 2 - Welcome to Summer term!

Hello everyone! We hope you have had an amazing Easter holiday and are feeling excited about coming back. We cannot believe that tomorrow we are starting the summer term!!

Just a few updates and reminders before coming back tomorrow.

Please can children bring in PE kits tomorrow. We will now be having PE lessons on a Tuesday instead of a Monday. As we are starting swimming this term, this will be our second PE lesson. Please can you return your swimming slips ASAP. Thank you to those who have already handed these back in.

Can you ensure all children have a named water bottle as we had a few left at the end of last term and couldn't find the owner due to no names on them.

As the weather is (hopefully) getting hotter please send your children in with the appropriate items for this.

We also welcome back Miss Greedy tomorrow for her final term with us!

Can't wait to see you tomorrow!
