Today Y2, along with Y1 and watched by the whole school planted a 'Time Capsule' beneath our newly arrived fountain. Y2 were involved because of the significant input they had last year with Miss Linton. Spread over the two time capsules were things like current newspapers, pictures of the school, children's work and a school sweatshirt. Jessica and Samuel were chosen to put Y2's box beneath the fountain.
As hoped we were able to practice our catching skills outside in the sunshine. We're hoping for another sunny day on Friday when Max Tryfonos' dad is coming in to share some of his sports expertise with Y2. Our new focus on time went well, too, with lots of evidence of work outside school. Please keep this up with your children - time really is something that can be worked on effortlessly at home.
We've introduced two new characters - Wilf and Tib - to our class. Wilf the dog represents 'What I'm looking for' - the objectives of a given task, and Tib the cat 'This is because' - ie, the whole point of why we are learning something. On the subject of dogs and cats we're waiting for more pictures of pets (or other family members' pets) for our Pets Parade notice board - Bubbles, Kaiser and Teddy are looking a little lonely at the moment.
Have a lovely break - hopefully the good weather will happen for us! See you back in school on Monday 21st April.
