Spring 2 Week 4

We have had a super busy week! We had a fantastic time visiting the Academy and doing some spectacular art this week! Lots of us thought it was very big but are now quite excited to visit again later in the year!

 We have been learning to tell the time. This may be something you wish to practice at home. We have been learning o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to. Some of us even did the closest 5 minutes.

We have also been making bread. We did this by ourselves. We measured our own ingredients using scales and a measuring jug. We looked at grams and millilitres. We followed the design of bread we created and added different toppings. Some of us made a pizza flat bread, some a bloomer, loaf, rolls or a french stick. We evaluated our own work and a friends!

We have been learning throwing and catching skills in PE.


Reminder: Farm trip on Thursday please make sure your consent form is returned.
Parents evening next week. Please do ask for an appointment if you haven't already booked :)

Science Day

Spring week 3

Thank you Green class again for another awesome week! It has been super busy.

We have had science week and have done some awesome experiments. We did the skittles experiment and  created so many cool patterns. We have used glass test tubes and created sugar rainbows. We looked at dissolving sugar and added food colouring to it and experimented with layering colours using pipettes. We also began creating our flower beds which  are on the playground  so please have a look. As you can see we did these ourselves :) We also used lemon juice and hairdryers to write secret messages! We had a super fun day being scientists!

On Wednesday we had Laura Samuels come to visit us and we even got to hold her Silver commonwealth medal! Thank you for all the sponsorship money you helped raise! The children did a fantastic job in their sponsored circuit. We feel quite inspired to try some new sports!

 On Friday we celebrated comic relief. Thank you again for all of the money you helped us to raise for comic relief! We had a good time making red nose day biscuits and making pom poms. We also thought about how thankful we are for all of the things we take for granted; warm home, bed, clean clothes, family and friends. We looked at why we raise money for comic relief and know that some people aren't as lucky as we are.

We have been looking at creating repeating patterns in Maths and begun telling the time. In English this week we have been writing letters to submit our inventions we designed on science day to the Engineering competition. We will be sending these off this week. We have our fingers crossed that someone at Sutton will win the competition.

Just a reminder we are visiting Stalham Academy on Monday.

Spring 2 Week 2

What a week! We have had so much fun! World book day and pancake day!

Green class really enjoyed making pancakes. We worked on measuring out ingredients and following a recipe. We then created a tally of which toppings we were going to use and of course we then ate our pancake we had made! We discussed lent this week.

On Thursday it was World book day and we came to school in our PJs with our favourite bedtime stories! There were some brilliant stories! Thank you to all the parents/grandparents that stayed for drop and read :) We also enjoyed planning and writing our own stories for the day.

In DT this week we have been evaluating bread, by looking and tasting and evaluating the packaging! We have now designed our own bread. (Some of them even decided to use chillies!) We will be making our own design of bread in the coming weeks!

In Maths we have been working on fractions. We made a fraction wall and have been thinking about equivalent fractions. We know 1/2 is the same as 2/4.  Some of us found the pattern and could continue it up to 100/200!

In English we have written a letter based on the book 'The day the crayons quit'.

In Grammar we have been looking at the spelling rules when adding the er or est suffix.

Thank you to all the children again this week for all trying your absolute best!

Spring term 2 week 1

Welcome back to school after half term. Wow so many amazing pieces of home learning completed! There were some amazing games designed and made and I really loved the effort of all the farms! Your child has a new piece of home learning in their books. If your child has not returned their home learning book yet please do so that they can collect well deserved house points for completing home learning and be given the next piece of home learning.

Thank you to everyone that came to our Maths Cafe on Monday. Green class love sharing our leaning! If you do have any questions you wish to ask about how a Maths concept is taught in Year 2 please come and ask, very happy to show you.

We have been in the forest schools area this week looking for amphibians, reptiles and mammals.


In Maths we have been learning about 3D shapes. We have been on a shape hunt around school.

In English we have faced a problem this week our crayons quit so we have been writing letters based on the book 'The day the Crayons Quit'. We have been using a thesaurus to improve the words we use in our writing.

The form for transition day only needs to be handed back in if your child wishes to have a school packed lunch. If you do not wish your child go please speak to me or Mrs Fiske.

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend.

Spring week 6

What a week! Green class have been amazing as always :) We have had a special focus on mental health this week. We have been thinking about how to keep our minds healthy. We have been thinking about how to get more sleep. It is recommended that 6-7 year olds have 9-12 hours sleep a night. We have been thinking about what we love about ourselves, the importance of exercise and communicating our feelings. On Friday afternoon we had a mental health afternoon where children selected to do yoga, create calming patterns or do mindful colouring.

We also had a fantastic day on Tuesday for Chinese New Year. We worked in our house teams. We created lanterns, Chinese fans, did some dragon dancing, Chinese writing and some Chinese cooking. We then all tried the things we made including spring rolls, chicken chow mein  and egg fried rice. For desert we made cakes decorated as the Year of the pig :)

 Some of us even used chop sticks!

For Maths we walked to the local shop and used real money and worked out our change and what we could afford.

We have also looked at using an empty number line for Maths. Below is an example if you wish to practice at home.

The children have been working on subtracting the tens then subtracting the ones. 

In English we have looked at exclamation marks being used to show emotion and apostrophes used to show something belongs to someone. 

Enjoy a lovely weekend.

Spring Week 5

Green class have been super busy this week. We have been learning to write instructions. We have learnt to use number bullet points and start our sentences using the verb. Some of us have even used adverbs!

We designed and made our own games. We wrote instructions for these games and played them with our friends.

We have been looking at money and using a number line to subtract to work out how much change we would receive. Sorry we didn't make it to the shop this week but we will be going one day next week. Once the day has been confirmed I will get a note out. Thank you for supporting us by providing your child with money.

This week we have also been thinking about the special people in our life and how they care for us :) We used a stick to represent us and added colour to represent people who look after us.

On Thursday in our school carousel some of us went into the forest schools area.

We had some hot chocolate in the dens we made.

Thank you Green class for a lovely week.
