Last blog!

Year 2 had their picnic at Greville Smyth park on Tuesday as a reward for earning all of their marbles. It was great fun...until it started raining! I'm sure this will be a day in year 2 that we will all remember!









I would like to take this opportunity to thank the children and parents of year 2 for their genorosity. I was presented with a beautiful cake (decorated by the children), a voucher for NEXT and a beautiful carved stone.
In addition I would like to say how much I have valued the support of the year 2 parents this year. You are a great bunch and have made this year so enjoyable.
To the children of Year 2, what can I say?! You are a WONDERFUL class and Mr. Mackie is very lucky to be teaching you next year. I have had the most brilliant time with you all and will miss you all very much.
I promise I will bring 'Mini Morgan' in to visit you all when she/he arrives!

Miss Morgan

Lively living things!

Year 2 had a fantastic time during healthy schools week. We thoroughly enjoyed Miss Welton and Miss Peruguini's morning workout sessions! We had a great fitness session with Debbie Scroggs from Ashton Park.


Year 2 ALL took part and tried their best in the races on sports day. Well done year2!





Along with the rest of the class we took part in an A-life workshop where we learnt about healthy eating and taking care of our teeth.

Growing beans & worms in mud!!

This week, Year 2 have been very busy and have done lots of exciting science activities about growing.

On Thursday, we planted some of our own bean seeds with Miss Wallace.We have put them in a sunny place in our classroom. We will be making sure we water them and will be watching very carefully over the next couple of weeks to see whose plant grows the tallest!

We have been learning about the lifecycle of a frog. Miss Wallace took us in small groups to the school pond on Tuesday. We spotted some tadpoles and some of us even held some baby frogs.Some of the baby frogs still had their tadpole tails, we thought the frogpoles looked very funny!

We have been cooking again with Bev and Liz this week. We had great fun making ' worms in mud.'

On Wednesday, Year 2 made the most of the sunshine and had our PE lesson outside. Miss Wallace was very impressed with our kicking skills!

We have also been busy rehearsing our maydance this week. We are very excited about performing it to an audience next week!

Have a lovely weekend :)

Disco dancing and road safety!

Year 2 have been learning all about how to stay safe when crossing the road. They used role play equipment to act out particular scenarios.





On Thursday some of year 2 attended the PTFA summer disco. It was great fun! Well done to Joshkun for winning the 'best dancer' competition.

We're back!

Sorry for the recent lack of blog updates...the year 2 camera lead went AWOl but has now been returned!

Last week Year 2 had their topic 'WOW'. This is an event to engage and inspire the children and really 'kick off' the topic.
Miss Wallace and Miss Morgan secretly set up a sensory room in the art store downstairs. The children went in small groups and really enjoyed dancing to music and exploring and experimenting with LOTS of different light sources. Thanks very much if you loaned us some lights!







In cooking this week Year 2 made 'Shadow Gingerbread Men'.

Sorry for the lack of blog for the last couple of weeks!

Year 2 had a great time during Science week. We investigated which would be the best material for the troll to use when making a raft for the Billy Goat's Gruff to get across the river! We also had a brilliant time exploring forces using bubbles. We had to make the bubbles go in different directions and also stay up for longer using our 'flappers'..






During the keys stage 1 mix-up (year R, 1 and 2) we had to hunt for wooly caterpillars with Miss Welton, made pennies VERY shiny with Ms Gower and tested how waterproof different materials were with Miss Morgan.




We all dressed up for children in need and made a right funny bunch!!



We enjoyed an active golden time playing on our scooters.

Bee bots and north street

On Wednesday Year 2 got out the bee bots for an exploration session. We learned how to program them forwards, backwards, left and right. We are looking forward to programming them around the bee-bot village!

On Wednesday morning we also went to North Street! We carried out a survey of all the different buildings and just loved being out and about - everyone smiled and waved at us! Our behaviour was excellent so we were rewarded with 3 marbles.
