Y2 Get Active




We have been doing lots of exercise in Y2 this week. First thing on Monday we had our football training session from Tommy Hutchison of Bristol City. Y2 were put through their paces in the bright sunshine and Tommy renamed Cieran 'Rooney'! These photos here show the fun Y2 are having. We were in the Evening Post, too, on Friday. In case you didn't see it I will put the piece from the paper on the classroom door when I'm back in on Tuesday.
We also had our KS1 Virtual Festival for this term on Thursday where everyone rushed around piling up 'treasure'. Results for the school and the cluster of local schools taking part will follow soon.
Finally we had a good old dance on Thursday night at our KS1 disco - the girls in this picture invited Wellington and Antoine to join the fun; the bears had to spend the whole of next day in their filing cabinet drawer recovering!

This week we also had World Book Day. Y2 helped me out with assembly by allowing me to display all the special books they had brought in at the front of the hall to share with the rest of the school. Many thanks, parents, for encouraging the children to bring in these books. I was very surprised and delighted to see some books there that I recognised from childhood - long may Y2's love of books last!
