Year 2 have had a fantastic week, particularly on Monday when they took part in the skipping festival. I am very proud of their determination and preparation of the festival, which did fantastically well, all that practice paid off and every child won either a Bronze, Silver and Gold award! Well done Year 2!
This week Year 2 have started their new genre of writing which is fantasy, by looking at the animated story called Bubbles. In order to set the scene for their writing they have been using their fantastic 5 senses by listening to sounds of waves and feeling different objects from the seaside.
Year 2 have had a fantastic week, they have done lots of wonderful learning. In spiritual art they have created painted pebbles for our focal point as a symbol of friendship and forgiveness.
In science they have been sorting and categorizing animals into their groups.
Year 2 had a fantastic day on Friday, as they performed their brilliant Celebration Assembly. In the afternoon they prepared their class liturgy, reflecting on the time of Pentecost and what they had learnt.
Year 2 have had a fantastic few days back at school, they have been doing lots of wonderful learning in science by dissecting a flower in order to understand the different parts of a flower.
Year 2 have been amazing during our final week of term. They thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas party day and behaviour has been outstanding.
Thank you to the Year 2 children for their hard work and determination over the autumn term; I know they will continue this with Miss Wigglesworth next term.
Have a lovely Christmas and a fantastic New Year.

In Science this week we have been testing different materials. We tested a sock, playdough, a pipe cleaner, a plastic bottle, an elastic band, a drinking straw, a sponge and a towel. We were investigating whether each of these materials could be stretched, twisted, bent and squashed. We found out that a plastic bottle can be twisted, an elastic band can be stretched and a sponge can be squashed.
Year 2 are utterly exhausted after a fantastic week full of music, art and drama. We explored the painting ‘The Fighting Temeraire’ and took part in lots of different activities including:
“My favourite part was the junk modelling.” – Bailey
“I loved singing sailor songs.” – Rory
“I liked printing the best.” – Erin
“The best part was dancing for the Battle of Trafalgar.” – Freddie
“I have loved every activity this week.” – Henry
Thank you very much to everyone who came to the KS1 workshop this morning.
As promised, here is a copy of the PowerPoint I used:
Thank you for your continued support,

Mrs. Nealings dropped off a mysterious envelope this afternoon. Inside it contained a jigsaw piece. We have been trying to figure what it could possibly be? Our ideas include:
We will find out more information next week.
