It seems as if this half term has flown by- and what a half term it has been. The children have created free standing structures out of marsh mallows and spaghetti, used what they learnt to create plant protectors for our spring bulbs and shown us some amazing balances in gymnastics.
We are so impressed by how well they are doing in all areas of the curriculum and thought you might like to read some examples of their amazing descriptive writing.

As the gloomy, green toads fly over the pond, the fish gulp in the deep, dark water. The shimmering toads calmly go to sleep as they shiver through the night. The fish, eating food, smell the toads’ feet. When the moon goes through the night it feels calm and sleepy.

Fish gape in wonder as giant, spotty toads start appearing from the foggy shadows. The bright shimmering moon shines on the extremely cold river. Long, tall grass blows as a turtle sits on a log. Droplets drip from damp, shady lily pads.

Year 2 have been really enjoying creating different balances in gymnastics, using scales to explore the mass of objects and creating algorithms to program the Beebots.

It was lovely to celebrate God’s creation with you.

Y2 have enjoyed their recent PE lessons, exploring different ball skills.

Well done to Year 2 for a wonderful liturgy where you taught us the parable of the sower through drama and explained how it teaches us the importance of listening to God’s word.

What a lot of learning Y2 has done this half term. We are all so proud of your amazing achievements.

A fun last day today with a DT day- designing and creating moon buggies- great team work everyone!

Congratulations to all our amazing artists in Year 2 for their stunning RE and Art work, depicting the journey of the magi. If you are visiting us, look out for the display at the back of the hall.

Dear Parents,
We hope you are all well and that you have had a good break. Thank you to the children who have brought in their Christmas home learning. Please do send in any photos, so that we can celebrate what the children have done.
The children have had a very exciting first week back- some mysterious clothes turned up in our classrooms. Who could they belong to? Some of the children tried them on but they were gigantic. Could they belong to Mr. Cunningham? No! The BFG? Maybe! or The Smartest Giant in Town ? Yes!

Thank you all for your generous gifts and cards from the whole Year 2 team. We truly appreciate them.

We would like to wish you all a peaceful and blessed festive season.

If you want to get out and about with the children this holiday, why not have a go at our year 2 treasure hunt? Let the children wow you with their newly acquired photography skills!

What an amazing week year 2 have had!
On Tuesday they stunned everyone with their singing, acting and speaking in two thought provoking advent liturgies.
Then on Friday they discovered that their teachers were feeling more Grinch-like than festive- Mrs. Okotete ran off with all the Christmas puddings, while Mrs. Sumba escaped with all the Christmas sparkle. In hot pursuit, the children chased them down and reclaimed Christmas- phew!

No wonder they fell asleep on their desks!
