Good Morning!

Well, the evening activity of Cluedo was rearranged to a Quiz.  Cluedo is coming later this week.

Today has been action-packed – Raft building, Zip Wire, Orienteering and Trapeze!

We are ending the day with a Campfire session and toasting marshmallows!!

Thank you for the letters that you have sent in their luggage; the children have loved receiving them from you.

As the children head off to dinner, they are excited for tomorrow’s activities.

Thank you to Mrs Carey for passing on the photos that we have taken to your parents whats app.

This week the children have been multiplying a two digit number by a one-digit number using regrouping and short multiplication. The children have worked hard to develop their skills and it is wonderful to see the children practising their timetables at home.

In English, we have started a new topic about adventure stories. We watched a video clip of an adventure story called ‘Taking Flight.’ Each day we have watched a little part of the clip and the children have been excited to watch the next part each day. We are learning about how adventure stories are page turners, they make you want to read more to find out what happens next. They have been writing expanded noun phrases and prepositional phrases to describe the characters. They have also been using a thesaurus to find synonyms for words to make their writing interesting.

In Religion, we listened to Luke’s recount of Pentecost and then rewrote the story in our own words. Then they made flames to represent the Holy Spirit using coloured paper.

In PE, the children continued their lessons of Tennis. On Wednesday they learn how to play rounders and develop their teamwork skills.

Eight children from our class took part in the first Year 3 challenge. Out of 200 schools, our two teams came 18^th and 23^rd. One team will compete in the final at the end of May. Well done to Emily, Brody, Jayden, Emilia, Jack F, Gabriella, Oliver and Mark!

This week the children have been revising 3D shape, the four operations and factions. They have worked hard to develop their skills and use the strategies they had been taught.

In English, the children have published their dragon writing and completed comprehension papers. I am extremely pleased with their writing and their inference and retrieval skills.

We have also enjoyed gardening and using the jungle gym.

Please read through the PowerPoint, on our Year 2 class page, regarding SATs.

Have a lovely weekend

Well, we have arrived at Bawdsey Manor!

After having our packed lunches in the beautiful grounds of Bawdsey Manor, we headed off for a coastal walk. We spent the afternoon on the beach.  It was wonderful experience to add to our memories. The children enjoyed playing on the beach: skimming stones, building with the sand and collecting shells!!

The children visited Bawdsey Boathouse Cafe and were treated to an ice-cream/ice lolly…a welcomed treat after a fun time on the beach.

After a tour of Bawdsey Manor, the children have settled into their rooms!  We are now heading off for our dinner.

Our evening activity is going to be Cluedo in which the children are going to complete a series of challenges to solve a mystery.  I wonder if we are going to meet Professor Plum?!
