Football crazy!

Welcome back!
Our first week back has been as busy as ever!
On Wednesday we were lucky to have a Bristol Rovers football coach in to teach us some football skills. It was great fun! Well done to Evie for having a fantastic attitude and winning a prize- two tickets to see Rovers play!



We also performed our 'family assembly'. This was an opportunity for year 2 to show their families everything they have learnt during the topic 'Me and my shadow'. We also performed our 'Ugly Bug Ball' dance brilliantly and Miss Morgan was really, really proud of us. Well done year 2!

Here are some pictures of the judo demo we had last week. It was very exciting, they could do some very clever stuff!
This week, on Monday, Debbie Scroggs from Ashton Park came in to show us how to use the equipment safely and sensibly. We were taught the 3 S's and one big rule. Can you remember them?
We had so much fun using the equipment and were very, very sensible.
We also had our (slightly overdue) disco for getting all of our marbles. Here we all are in our party clothes having a good, old boogie!

Happy Holidays!

The Ugly Bug Ball!

This week lucky year 2 were invited to a dance festival at Ashton Park Secondary School!
The theme was 'Animals' so we did 'The ugly bug ball' and we were all different kinds of bugs - dragonflies, crickets, worms and spiders!
The festival was great, there was a range of different styles of dance and children of different ages.
When it came to year 2's turn, all of the practice had paid off and they performed brilliantly. Well done Year 2!

Last week in Science we were thinking about sound and hearing. We looked at Caitlin's model ear and thought about how the ear works. We the wrote an explanation of how we hear with Mrs Shore on Friday. We did really well and remembered a lot of information.

We got out the equipment in gymnastics this week and had a really good session. We were focussing on using the equipment safely and we all made sure we were very sensible.

More shadows!

In science this week we had an exploration session with shadows. We all made a shape and then investigated if we could make a shadow on the board when the light was off. Nobody's shape made a shadow! Then we turned the light on and experimented with moving our shapes closer to and further away from the light.



In literacy we have been continuing to follow and give instructions verbally.
Our numeracy unit is data handling and measures. On Wednesday we made a pictogram of our favourite colours so that Heather would know what colour to paint some of the doors around the school!

Snow and shadows!

As you all know year 2 had their 'shadow puppet'workshop on Tuesday. Lots of photos were taken but unfortunately the year 2 camera has gone missing. As soon as it turns up there will be photos of the day on the blog.
All of us made a moveable shadow puppet, as well as having a go with our 'experts' puppets. It was a very fun, busy day! Thank you to all of the parents who helped us have a fantastic day!

Just a quick note about weather and suitable clothing. Please make sure that the children have a pair of wellies in school as well as a warm coat, hat and gloves.

Thank you!

Last week was very busy as we had 3 performances of the Nutcracker to do! We all worked really hard though and did really well.
This week has been about all things christmassy!
We made christmas decorations out of salt dough. We all enjoyed getting very messy!
We also had our christmas party and had a very special visitor from somebody. Can you guess who?!






Thank you for all of your support and help so far this year.
Have a wonderful christmas and see you all in the new year!
