PE this year is on Mondays and Wednesday afternoons, we will be inside and outside during these sessions.

PE kit for all children: Navy Shorts and white T-shirt, plimsolls/ trainers. A navy-blue tracksuit for colder weather – further details can be found on the school website by following this link – School Uniform

The classrooms can be very warm with everyone busy learning, so please ensure your child has a clearly labelled water bottle with them in school each day to keep them hydrated and able to learn.

As a reminder, the school day starts at 8.30 am and ends at 3.15 pm.  Please aim to arrive at school at 8.30am, as important Start Of Day Activities (SODA) take place during the time before worship and we would like all children to benefit from the maximum amount of learning time.

In Rabbit Class we have Mrs Dunton (on Monday and Tuesday) Miss McHaffie (on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) and Miss Howes

Pollination project

Posted on by year2

We had visitors into school to teach us about pollination and why it is important. All the children then had the chance to sow their own seeds to take home so they could grow different flowers to provide nectar for animals that need it.

It was an enjoyable activity for all involved.

Maths learning

In Maths we have been learning about 2D shapes, identifying sides and vertices and how to find out if shapes have lines of symmetry.

We were able to find lines of symmetry by folding shapes to see if they were the same on both sides.

Year 2 learning

Posted on by year2

We have had a busy term so far with lots of exciting learning taking place.

In RE, we have been learning about the good news Jesus brings, with a focus on parable: Jesus heals ten men with Leprosy. We discussed how the Lepers were feeling at different points and then acted it out, pretending we were different people from the parable.

In our Science lessons we have been learning about animals including humans. We completed an investigation to find out if there was a link between our age and our body size. Everyone made lots of predictions and then used our Maths learning of measuring length and height to find out if there was a link. By the end of the lesson we found out that there wasn’t a link as some of the younger children were taller and had longer body parts.
