Year 2 D&T

Year 2 have had a very hectic week. We had a SIAMS inspection on Wednesday and we’ve been finishing our assessments. The children have all worked really hard and tried their best. In RE, they have been learning about the main events of Easter week and they produced some wonderful pictures depicting the different events. In D& T they have all made a chair for a bear using paper and card.

It was lovely talking to you all on parent evenings and I hope you took the opportunity to look at the children’s super work. Have a lovely weekend.

Year 6 joined us in the morning for a book quiz which was great fun and in Celebration Worship everyone showed off their costumes.

Good afternoon,

I hope you all had a lovely half term. The children have come back to school refreshed and ready for the next half term. We have started our new English text ” Goldilocks and the Three Bears” by Lauren Child. In fact, we think Goldilocks may have been in our classroom eating porridge! New spellings are on the spelling page on the website and on Spelling Shed.

In PE, inspired by the Olympics, the children had a go at curling and boccia. It was great fun and they really enjoyed it.

You should have received a letter about our upcoming trip to Dudley Zoo in March. Please return the slips and pay on line as soon as you can.

We will be starting our new RE unit next week. We will be learning about why Easter matters to Christians.
