admin on: Class 2
7th October 2019
It is World Mental Health Day this Thursday and we are going to be raising money for Young Minds, a charity which supports young people with their mental health. It is a key focusing point on the School Governments agenda to promote the health and well-being for children in school. The Minister of Health and Well-being, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Miss Hemingway will be selling yellow ribbon badges for 20p on Wednesday and Thursday break times. We ask the children to then wear them on Thursday to show their support.All proceeds will be donated to Young Minds. Here is a link to the Young Minds website: https://youngminds.org.uk/
Look out for staff wearing yellow on #HelloYellow Thursday!

Homework Friday 4th October
admin on: Class 2
Welcome to the blog!
It feels very autumnal now and the children have finished some beautiful autumn pictures, which have gone on display. Shackleton's journey is coming to an end, but this week we wrote a diary entry in his words. I was so amazed at the beautiful sentences the children were using. We learned about the conjunctions 'and, 'but' and 'or', so the children were really trying to use those in their writing. In maths we've been weighing and measuring as well as looking at capacity - I'm pleased to report that we had no spillages! This week's mathletics is all about measuring again and homework books include an activity on nouns. Keep up the great work with regular reading - I love reading your comments in the reading diaries.
Could I ask children to bring in a cereal box, this is for an art project coming up in the next few weeks. If you can bring in more than one, then that would be fantastic.
Thank you

We've had another great week, here in Y2, despite a few sniffles here and there. In maths, it's been all about measuring and we've had great fun measuring each other. We even measured Shackleton's and Columbus's feet! This week I've set some Mathletics assignments based on measuring. These will be live until next Friday - please encourage your child to complete these as they really reinforce the learning that we do in the classroom - most children are doing this regularly, but some are not completing everything. If you have any problems logging on, then please do let me know.
In homework books, you'll find a few activities on 'common exception' words - these are words that the children need to be able to read and spell.
Have a great weekend!

Planting science experiment

Today, we started our science experiment where we are comparing how seeds and bulbs grow in four different conditions. These are sunlight and water, sunlight but no water, no sunlight and water, and no sunlight and no water. We have planted our bulbs and seeds and will see how they progress over the next four weeks.

Visit for International Day of Languages

Today, for International Day of Languages, a parent came and spoke to the children about her country of birth and taught the children some Hebrew. The children learnt the alphabet and certain words in Hebrew. This was very interesting and she even brought in some books that were from Israel including The Very Hungry Caterpillar. All the children enjoyed themselves and we would all like to thank her very much for taking the time to come and talk to them.
