Year 2 – History: Then and Now
A practical lesson creating a class timeline, as well as, ordering King James I Coronation, the Gunpowder plot, Queen Elizabeth II Coronation and Fireworks night.
Year 2 – PE Multi-Skills: Skipping
Year 2 – Role Play
The children listened to the story of The Enormous Turnip, recreating the story in groups to use expression and actions in the correct order.
As part of the story ‘Pattan’s Pumpkin’, being read throughout the Autumn term, the children took it in turns to Hot Seat within their groups. By impersonating a character from the story, they were able to think about how they would be thinking and feeling; finishing with the whole class asking each character questions.
Year 2 – Physical Education: Dance
During the Autumn term our Year 2 children experimented with various movements to coincide with the Great Chariots of Fire and Storm music…
Year 2 – Creative Arts
At the start of the Autumn term, our children concentrate on PSHE, discussing the school rules and looking at emotions. Linked in with their creative arts lessons they created their own monster, following their discussions with the ‘Colour Worry Monster’
Later in the term, they expanded on their use of natural resources, learning about Andy Goldsworthy; a Britsh artist who uses natural materials to create scultpures. They created their own pieces of art, including trees, faces and abstract designs!
Year 2 – Creating a Sukkah in RE
As part of the Jewish celebrations during the Autumn term, our children learnt about Sukkot and the huts that get constructed for the week long festival. Linking in to their creative arts they were able to design and make their own Sukkah using natural resources from outside.
Summer term one newsletter
We’re almost at the end of the academic year with just one half of the Summer term left.
During the first half of the term the children have worked hard, represented the school in various events and came together to start the Jubilee celebrations!
Whether you’re going to London for the Queens Platinum Jubilee, attending the local events or celabrating at home, we hope you have an enjoyable half term break. Stay safe!
Easter Newsletter
We hope you all had a lovely Easter break full of fun activities.
We’ve completed two thirds of our academic year and we are ready to go full steam ahead into the Summer term. We have lots of fun activities and learning to complete; but in the mean time, attached is the Easter newsletter you received earlier this month where you’ll find year group updates and photos from the Spring term.
Year 1 – Learning
At the start of a new academic year, our children take time getting to know their new class, teacher and change in learning. Our Year 1s participated in PSHE lessons meeting Jigsaw Jack, joined in with role playing the Scarecrows Wedding, and being Betty & Reginald, went to the local church for Remembrance, sorted animals into groups and wrote about their activities… just a small selection to look back on.
