Last full week of year 2!

Summer Week 6

On Monday we went to Bewilderwood and we loved it! Once we arrived we went on the boat and listened to the story. Some of us did a very load scream including Mrs Baker when Mildred the Crocodile made us jump by sneezing! We spent the day exploring, climbing and having fun. All I can say is Green class are all very brave and dared the big slides and climbed the highest equipment! They are also amazing problem solvers and managed to get out of the Muddle Maze and Sky Maze.

Some of us even got our faces painted :)

We have also been practising lots for our performance on Wednesday. Please do come along to our show on Wednesday morning 9am :) 

We have also been doing some additional work on transition and change in PSHE. We have also talked about the names of our body parts this week. 

I am sure you will agree Green class did really well reading their favourite memories at church today. Thank you to everyone that came! 

I would like to thank everyone for being so amazing the last few weeks. I am very aware it has been a very busy one for parents/carers too with all the extra stuff that has been happening- thank you all so much for your support :)

Week 5 Summer 2

 Week 5 Summer 2 

Green class will be tired tonight! What a super sports day! Green class you did us proud today! It was amazing to see you all showing your skills in football, hockey, rolling and getting wet in the over under relay! We thank you all for your help with the younger children. You also were amazing in the races and were so quick! Well done everyone! Thank you to all the adults that joined us today for the picnic and for all of the cheering during the events It really was so lovely for the children and they loved it! 

We have been problem solving in Maths this week. Green class have investigated odd and even numbers and have thought about making generalisations and been finding ways to prove or disprove a mathematical statement. 

Green class have also planned their own stories this week and will be writing these next week. 

Please remember to sign up for a space for The Greatest Showman if you would like to come and see your child perform. They have worked extremely hard on their performance this week and it is starting to look great! 

This week we have been looking at our bodies and understanding that we are the boss of our bodies. We have looked at safe touches, unwanted touches and unsafe touches an how to deal with each situation.

Green class as always have been a delight to teach this week! 

Next week transition day to Stalham Academy, disco and sleepover. 

Week 4 Summer 2

Week 4 Summer

What a super week! We had a wonderful time at the Royal Norfolk Show and enjoyed learning about the animals and the old farming machinery. We also loved collecting lots of stickers and things! I am very proud of Green class as members of the public commented at how kind and helpful they were! 

In Maths we have been problem solving this week. The challenge below shows Ruby working strategically to solve a problem. 

The boys here are creating as many different houses only using 7 cubes as they can!

We have also been learning about keeping healthy and been writing non-fiction texts.

Thank you Green class for a lovely week!

Week 3 Summer term 2

Week 3 Summer 2

Green class want to thank everyone that came to Maths Cafe. We enjoyed sharing how we multiply using concrete resources and how we move on to pictorial representations. We have been doing lots of problem solving this week. We have looked at how many different ways we could make 36p to buy different sweets. 

WOW- I hope you agree. Green class did amazingly well in their fashion show in sharing assembly, showing off their costumes they have made. Their confidence made me very proud! 

Rehearsals for our show ' The greatest showman' are coming along well and all children have really tried hard remembering lines and stage directions! Thank you all for their amazing costumes! 

Federation sports day was a huge success and Green class were amazing! We tried fencing. We also did dancing, forest schools and learnt about eating healthily. 

Again Green class have gone above and beyond this week and have all worked so hard.

We have our new reading tree up now so please do make sure your child is reading at least 3 times a week at home. This will really help them to prepare for year 3. I know lots of the children are excited about Year 3 but are also feeling very nervous. You may want to be chatting about this at home. We will also be doing lots of talking about it at school and visiting Stalham too! 

Week 2 Summer 2

Week 2 Summer 2

Green class are now well underway with rehearsals for our Greatest showman show :)

Thank you so much for all the support that you are giving your children learning lines and songs!

A huge thank you to all the dads/grandfathers/uncles/brothers that came to celebrate fathers day with us. We really hope you enjoyed it as much as your children did! Happy fathers day from Green class for Sunday! 

We have been learning about Malawi and Florence came to visit us all the way from Malawi. The children have asked her lots of questions to deepen their knowledge. Florence was able to give the children a chance to try some traditional  food. The children tried nsima some of us were not so keen. This is a traditional staple in their diet made from corn. 

Week 4 Summer Term

We have had a fantastic week. We have been making chitenge patterns and have begun to create an item of clothing using our patterns. We used vegetables to do vegetable printing to create a pattern. We will complete our item of clothing next week :) We have learnt a bit about Malawi ready for our Federation day on Tuesday.

We have also learnt a lot about Florence Nightingale. We have pretended to administer medicine using ml to measure out exact amounts. We have also written facts that we have learnt about Florence Nightingale and will be creating an information leaflet next week. These will be on display for you to have a look at after half term.

On Friday we looked at the outfit nurses wore while Florence Nightingale was nursing and we had a go at designing our own. Here are a few photographs! 

During our fashion show!
