1/2K – Week 3

19th November 2023Abigale Ketteringham

What we got up to last week: 

In PE we have been continuing to work on our team work skills. The children were split into small groups and had the task of getting across the playground using only two skipping ropes without falling off. They were amazing! 

In Maths we have been looking at subtraction. We looked at this in a variety of different ways. 

Kindness Week: We have loved all of our kindness week activities as part of our new case study! We have made kindness badges (with the help of our lovely Year 6 students) to remind everyone to be kind. We talked about the importance of friendships and what it takes to be a good friend! We had a very special visit from some nurses for our Safe Touch talk. We discussed the importance of positive relationships, what they look like and the importance of trusted adults. 

Children in Need 💛

19th November 2023Abigale Ketteringham

We had the snuggliest day on Friday to raise money for Children in Need. We discussed the different types of families that Children in Need supports and they showed great understanding about people or families that might be less fortunate than them. They had lots of suggestions on what we could do to help.

RE in 2P

15th November 2023Lucy Wood

Year 2 were learning all about different Christian celebrations in RE, particularly christenings and baptisms. The children learnt all about what happens in a baptism ceremony and all the key words involved. They were then able to successfully label the diagram and enjoyed colouring in the picture when they were finished. Great work Year 2!

A big thank you from KS1

We wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you from Key Stage 1 to everyone who helped raise money towards the buddy benches. We were blown away by the kind donations, which will help us buy two handcrafted buddy benches for the playgrounds as part of our current expedition.

Well done to everyone who donated money and completed their sponsored walk today. It really was a big crew effort!

We look forward to sharing our designs and the finished product shortly.

1/2K Reflections

12th November 2023Abigale Ketteringham

On Friday 1/2K discussed their thoughts on our most recent case studies; Rosa Parks and Remembrance. They discussed why they thought Rosa Parks was a hero and how her brave actions changed the world. They also discussed the life of the soldiers and why they thought they were heroes.

1/2K – Our week this week!

10th November 2023Abigale Ketteringham

Maths: 

This week 1/2K have been getting active in the classroom. We’ve been enjoying some counting exercises to warm up for Maths! We have also been bringing technology into the classroom during our Maths lesson and working in pairs to develop our team working skills. 

English: 

This week we have been learning all about independent clauses that contain a subject and a verb with a little help from Beyoncé. We used pictures from our class story to inspire our writing and the children wrote some excellent sentences! I’m so proud of them. 

Art: 

As part of our remembrance topic, we have been creating Poppy art. First we drew our poppies using wax crayons. Then we used the water colours to create a background. We were able to wash over our wax crayon picture without it smudging; it was like magic! The children talked about using different colours to represent the smoke there might have been or browns puddles to make mud. We also made poppies using wire, buttons and cupcake cases. It was very fiddly but we are so pleased with the result. 

Crew: 

As part of our We Care Wednesday, we were exploring the nature of friendships and discussing what it takes to be a great friends. We decided that the most important quality in a friend is to be kind and caring.   

Thank you Mr Chandler
