This week the children have been working very hard and finishing their units of work.

This week we have celebrated children’s mental health week. The children had an assembly, we have discussed our feelings; what makes us happy and how we can use the zones of regulation to help us be ready to learn. The children in Crete class enjoyed creating happiness Jars to take home.

Both Crete and Santorini did an mazing job in their class assemblies this week so a huge congratulations to all of the children for their hard work and dedication.

Please see the half term project below

On returning to school after the half term we will be doing lots of SAT’s preparation to allow children to be ready for SAT’s at the end of May.

We hope you enjoy your half term break and look forward to seeing you when we return on the 23rd.

Please also remember to sign the consent form for the infant choir and bring this back to school on 23rd February.

This week has been a busy week.

In English we have been focusing on the story of Rapunzel. We have been thinking about how we can make our writing more interesting for the reader, to help them create an image when reading a story. Lots of the children in Year 2 have really been focusing and improving their handwriting so well done to them. We have also practised some reading comprehension as a class this week.

In Maths we have been working on using different coins to make the same amount, adding money to find a total and calculating the difference between two amounts.

The children have particularly enjoyed our DT  lessons this week where we have been using linkages and levers to begin creating moving mechanisms. They have also enjoyed computing, where they have been given the opportunity to use laptops and learn some basic skills of typing and using Word to edit a document.

Please see this weeks home learning below
