This week we have had a big focus on English and worked on similes - the children were AS GOOD AS GOLD and AS WISE AS AN OWL thinking of lots of similes to write about to publish for their profile. We also moved onto to using a 'net' in tennis - look at the pictures to see you can make anything out of unlikely items if you think about it! Pete, our tennis coach, is off to Wimbledon next week (which is fine for us as we're on our trip on that day!) and has told the children to watch the players on the t.v. and look really closely at their technique.
Y2 had a big goodbye and thank you to do this week because Mr Ellershaw finished his placement with us on Thursday. We all want to say a big thank you to him for the fun lessons and his hard work. Before he trained to be a teacher Mr Ellershaw was a scientist and I think Y2 will all join me in saying that he certainly used his skills to make science really fun in our classroom. Here's a great picture of Ollie showing what his insides might look like!
We all wish Mr Ellershaw good luck when he takes up his teaching post in Y6 at Southville Primary in September.
