We made it – half term is here!

It was lovely to meet you all this week and discuss your child’s progress and how well the children have settled into Year 2.

 

We had some little visitors in our classroom during the week, which the children were all very excited about seeing. Thank you very much Mrs Cunningham for bringing in the very cute chicks and explaining to the children their life cycle.

 

 

Home learning

Following on the topic of puppets. I would like the children to create a moving puppet of their choice. We have looked at lots of different ideas. The children will discuss the materials they have used to the class.

Hello everyone,  we have had a very busy but fun week.

Reminder on Friday we are celebrating the anti-racism movement. It is non-uniform day but the children must wear at least one item that is red in exchange for doing this we would like the children to bring a donation of at least a pound for the charity. The children can either make the donation in cash and bring it into school or you can make the donation on your child’s Arbor portal. 

 

Have a great weekend
