What another fantastic 6 C Day that the children have had. In year 2 the children have been making their own Christmas board games and tree decorations.

A massive well done to all the children and teachers that took part in the Mile for Maisie. It was a hard slog but everyone showed excellent commitment and collaboration in supporting one another to complete the mile!

Have a wonderful weekend.

The children have a wonderful morning making their stockings. They worked so hard on practising their sewing skills.

Now the children have made their stockings they will then be able to write instructions on how to make one for Bertie Badger to make who is a character from our class story that we are reading.

The children have also been busy practising for their Nativity ‘Christmas Counts.’ Please remember to bring in your child’s reply slip to request your tickets to watch the nativity. Once all children have been given two tickets each we will then issue out any spare tickets that have been requested.

Also please remember to return your child’s reply slip for the Sea City Museum trip which will take place on Wednesday 4th January 2017. Many thanks to all the parents who have offered to help. We shall count numbers and let you know before the end of term if we need your help.

Have a lovely weekend.

Year 2 have enjoyed making their own Advent wreaths in RE to understand the meaning of each candle.

We have also been looking at multiplication in maths. The children have enjoyed making arrays using different equipment and applying their knowledge of the 2, 5 and 10 times tables.

Year two this week have enjoyed meeting our mystery giant who left his clothes in our classrooms.

The children were engaged with asking him lots of questions they have been thinking about all week to find out why he left his clothes.

We have also enjoyed our Friday morning making our houses for animals. The children were so creative in what they made and they also showed excellent collaboration with helping each other.

We have been really proud of the children for showing excellent commitment to their home learning. We are seeing children reading, practising their handwriting as well as taking part in their maths home learning. This is showing great impact to their work in year two so we would like to thank you for your continued support at home with this.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Miss Allen and Mrs Layton

We started our week with lots of excitement when we found some clothes left in our classroom. Lots of questions came from this and the children still haven’t found out who has left them! Hopefully all will be revealed next week!

We have also enjoyed exploring shape in maths and finding the line of symmetry.

On Friday 18th November we are having a topic day. This will involve designing and making a house for one of the characters in the book using different materials. Please could we ask if your children could collect various empty boxes, plastic bottles, wrappers or anything else that would normally be recycled. We will start a collection in the classroom during the week.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Many thanks.

Miss Allen and Mrs Layton

Welcome back to the second half of the autumn term. We hope all the children had a lovely break.

We have had another great week of learning particularly in English where we have been linking our Science learning in by exploring the different materials used for building houses.

The children have learnt lots of fabulous new language to describe the properties of the materials and why they might be used for different purposes.

Our trip to Wickes and Topps Tiles was a fantastic experience for the children to have a chance to see building materials for real and use the language they had learnt to describe what they saw. We are excited to see the writing outcomes next week from this trip.

Big thank you again to all the parents that have helped out with this trip, we could not have done it without you!

Please could all children practice their spellings and handwriting as much as possible. We will be giving children commitment ticks for doing this and sharing it with us in school.

Have a lovely weekend.

Miss Allen and Mrs Layton

We have all had a fantastic Friday using our 6 C’s during lots of fun activities. We have been so proud of the older children supporting the younger children with joining in and succeeding today. Here are just a few photos to of our day.

The staff also celebrated Mrs Wickes’ birthday which is in half term by sharing an early morning breakfast together. We wish Mrs Wickes a very happy birthday and hope she has a lovely day celebrating during the holidays.

Have a lovely break.

Best wishes from the year 2 team.

Year 2 have had a wonderful last week before half term. The children have been busy learning about money. They have been adding coins together to make different amounts. They have also been creating excellent writing in English about their trip to Waterlooville.

RE Home Learning

In RE we are learning abut the different Saints. For home learning can your child find out about a Saint and write down what they have one in their lives to become a Saint.

Your child can choose to make a poster, paint a picture, make a model or write a story about a Saint. These are just a few ideas for how your child can be creative with their home learning.

We wish you all a relaxing week off and we shall see you after half term.

Many thanks for your continued support with your children’s learning.

Year 2 team.

On Tuesday we had a lovely  time sharing our Creation Liturgy to all our families. Thank you to everyone that came and shared this special time with us. We really appreciate it.

We also had a wonderful time on our school trip to Waterlooville Library. We listened to some new stories that have come into the library and we enjoyed a treasure hunt to find different types of books. Many thanks to everyone who came to help as without you, our trips would not be possible. We greatly appreciate you giving up your time for the children.

Please could we ask you to check all your child’s school jumpers at home as we have had a few children who have lost their jumper’s which have names in. We appreciate children can sometimes pick up the wrong jumper without realising so we would be grateful if you could just double check your child has the right one. Many thanks.

Have a lovely weekend. See you all next week.

We have had lots of fun this week estimating in maths which linked well with our competition to raise money for CAFOD by estimating how many cubes were in the jar. Thank you all for your donations towards this fantastic charity.

All the children have enjoyed writing their postcard for our new class book called Meerkat Mail 2. We are all excited to publish this.

We have also been getting ready for our Liturgy which will be on Tuesday 11th October at 10.20am in the hall. We look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible.

Have a wonderful weekend.
