Key information
- Children are able to change their banded books as and when they need to when they come into school in the morning. Boxes of books are outside the classrooms for children to independently choose from.
- Outdoor PE is for the second Summer term is every Tuesday afternoon. We will also be doing dance on Friday afternoons.
- Show and tell is every Friday afternoon. In year 2 show and tell must be linked to our current topic. Our topic for the second Summer Term is 'All Creatures Great and Small' where we will be learning all about animals.
PE
Our outdoor PE slot for the second Summer Term is on a Tuesday afternoon where the children will be learning a range of athletic skills. We will also be doing dance with Mr Bridle every Friday afternoon.
Every afternoon we aim to go for a 5 minute run around the field where children challenge themselves to match or beat the number of laps run each day. Therefore, it is suggested that children keep their PE kits in school for the whole week as we encourage children to change their shoes to take part in the daily run.
All Creatures Great and Small
Our project for the second summer term is called 'All Creatures Great and Small'. The children will be learning all about animals, including the classification of animals and their features. There will also be an extra special treat for Year 2, where they will have a class pet for the term to look after and care for. However before this can happen, the children will have to consider what would be the most suitable pet to have in the classroom and write a persuasive letter to Mrs Hill to convince her that it would be suitable. Keep your ears peeled for the class pet that we get!
Tree Planting
On Tuesday 20th November year 2 were invited to Harmony Woods to plant trees. Despite it being a rather chilly morning, year 2 had great fun working in pairs to plant a tree. Click on the link below to see some pictures from our morning.
