Investigating shapes

14th March 2023Mrs Lewis

Today in Year 2 we began our new unit on Shape. The children enjoyed investigating 2D shapes using lollipop sticks. At home, why not challenge your child to find real life 3D shapes around your home?

Who would like to try some Vegetable Crumble?

8th March 2023Mrs Lewis

This week Year 2 have been busy making Vegetable Crumble. We used our peeling, grating, measuring and cutting skills to make it from scratch. It was yummy!

Thank you to Mrs Gunthorpe from the kitchen for your help with the recipe.

Watch out for our recipe in our Final Product.

Extreme Reader Competition

3rd March 2023Stuart Longley

KS1 Plover we love to read, BUT… we also love to read in weird and wonderful places!

We would love to see where you are reading and what weird and wonderful places you can think of to enjoy reading a book.

This could be reading at the zoo to the penguins, high up trees, at the beach, hiding in the cupboard… we were everywhere! At Plover, we would love to discover who are extreme readers!

Below are some photos for inspiration

There will be certificates for all entries and prizes for the top three entries!

The deadline for entries is Monday 17th April 2023.

Year 2 Parent Meeting

28th February 2023Stuart Longley

Year 2 is a really important stage of a child’s school career. There is a significant importance to ensure the children are progressing towards being fluent readers, legible writers and understand maths.

We would like to invite all parents to a coffee and cake meeting with the Year 2 class teachers on either WEDNESDAY 15th MARCH or THURSDAY 16th MARCH at 2pm.

This will be a chance to find out how you can support your child at home as well as discussing any questions you have surrounding their current academic progress.

We will be discussing:

Freckle
Lightening Squad
Reading flashcards
Arithmetic
Handwriting

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to catch a member of the team to discuss.

Thank you once again for your support

Mr Longley, Mrs Lewis and Mr Pickering

Pancakes!

28th February 2023Mrs Lewis

Today in Year 2 we made pancakes, better late than never!

We followed the recipe and made the batter before Mrs Jobber showed us her expert flipping skills. They were so scrummy, a yummy treat on a rainy day.

Later on in the afternoon, we worked in mini crews to write our own instructions.
