Year 2 Blog Week 37

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. – Dr. Seuss

This week, we have been reflecting on our memories of our time together in Year 2. The children really enjoyed preparing their Act of Worship – A Moment in Time and sharing it with so many friends and family members. We came together and remembered with joy all of our achievements however big or small. We thanked all the people who have helped us on our way. We took a moment to say sorry for our mistakes. Year 2 remembered the past but also thought about the future. They leave KS1 to take their next steps into KS2. Everyone received a very special golden ticket for entry into Year 3!

The children ended the Act of Worship with a well known song – I have a dream. Enjoy the trip down memory lane!

Have a restful weekend.

As this month comes to a close, we celebrated today’s feast day with a mass at Our Lady and St Vincent’s Church with Fr Shaun.  Well done to Luca, Luka, Maria, Samuel and Evie who read their bidding prayers so well and well done to Louise, Owen, Giovanna and David who played drums/percussion for the African response.

In Maths this week, we have looked at plotting polygons, and in RE have continued our work on discipleship and the children have written some very creative things on St Peter and Paul.  We have been practising for Sports Day which is on July 6th and a letter has gone home about this special day as we will be having a family picnic at lunchtime.

On Thursday many of the class attended the community mass at Nicholas Breakspear singing with the choir.  The children sang beautifully in front of 450 children and after eating lunch played a game of rounders against St Theresa’s School in Borehamwood.

Homework this weekend is Mathletics and SPAG. The spellings are the same as last week as many children have found the use of the prefix tricky to remember.

illogical     illegal   disqualify  impatient  illiterate  kind   unkind   illegible impractical  disobey

There seemed to be a problem with SPAG.com so I have reset the homework and apologise for this inconvenience.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the Strawberry Fayre on Sunday!

 

 

 

Year 2 Blog Week 35

/0 Comments/in , /by

This week the children have been presenting their Land Ahoy projects to the class. We have seen some amazing 3D models of ships, treasure chests, anchors and treasure islands. We listened carefully as all the wonderful messages in the bottles and treasure maps were read out. We enjoyed looking at the fantastic drawings of the Titanic. We also had some very inspiring computing based projects, which included a Powerpoint presentation and a Youtube video. I have been blown away by the children’s creativity and the tremendous effort that has been put into this Home Learning project. We will continue presenting the rest of the projects next week. IMG_2092 IMG_2095IMG_2103 IMG_2102 IMG_2100 IMG_2099 IMG_2097 IMG_2096 IMG_2093

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, It’s a pirate’s life for me! Year 2 had great fun this week creating their very own pirate puppets. The children used felt to bring their templates to life. IMG_2054 IMG_2053 IMG_2052 IMG_2051 IMG_2108 IMG_2109 IMG_2110

 

 

 

 

The children enjoyed using the ipads this week to complete some Mathletics activities. We even had some Bronze Certificates awarded in the session. Remember to complete this week’s Mathlectics Home Learning and YOU could be our next Year 2 Mathlete.

Kingswood Day 3

/11 Comments/in , , , /by

Day 3 is upon us and after fuelling up on another cooked breakfast, it was time to get started on this morning’s activities: fire lighting, problem solving and low ropes.20180627_11010120180627_110253

In the afternoon, we encountered our first track experience. Formula 1 here we come! Caving tested the nerves of many – all emerged unscathed and with wild tales to tell! Cooperation, communication and resilience skills were all put to the test next in Jacob’s Ladder.

After a roast dinner, the children put their glad rags on and busted some serious moves on the dancefloor.

The sun has continued to shine, the sun cream has been regularly applied and the children have been praised for their good behaviour and teamwork.

The children have been posting letters and are eager to hear your news from home – thanks to all who have been commenting on the blog and sending updates via email!

Worms!

/1 Comment/in , /by

This week Reception have been very busy learning about the secret lives of worms. Did you know that a worm has tiny little hairs all over it’s body that help it to move around under the ground? To take a closer look at these little wiggly creatures, the children have been making wormeries, digging around in the soil for worms and observing them under the class hovercam.

On Tuesday, the class watched their Year 6 Reading Partners in their class production of ‘Bugsy Malone’. The children were very excited to see their friends on the stage and were very proud of all of them!

IMG_1767 IMG_1814 IMG_1832 IMG_1837

Today was a very busy day, as the class participated in an exciting drama workshop based on the theme of the jungle. Immediately after, they met their new class teacher and then finished the day with a visit to the Year 1 classroom as part of the transition process.

I am sure they have lots to tell you about!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend,
