Year 2 - Summer 2- Week 4

Date: 30th Jun 2023 @ 2:36pm

Wow…what a busy and fun-packed week we have had!

We started the week off with our class trip to Sorrento’s! We had an absolute ball. We were supplied with bottomless juice and were even allowed to be in charge of the music. We were absolutely fabulous DJs. Next, we got to meet the chefs were he masterfully rolled our dough out, we added our toppings and then we watched it cook in the oven. It was absolutely delicious. We all ended up doing the Macarena, the Conga and various other dances.

We performed our ‘Under the Sea’ dance that we have been practising with Mrs Whitehead over the last few weeks. We transformed ourselves into aquatic life where we became crabs, fish, mermaids, jellyfish and sharks. We danced our hearts out and were absolutely fantastic. Then, we had to quickly make a costume change into our sports gear, ready for Sports Day! We bounced for our sack race, treaded carefully for the egg and spoon, sprinted over hurdles and galloped (or fell) for the three-legged. Year 2 were absolute superstars on Sports Day and we are so proud of everyone for having a go. We showed unbelievable sportsmanship, cheering everyone in the class on and ended the day with a big class sprint.

We even had some time to fit some school work in! In English, we looked at describing various giants from different books. We compared and contrasted their personalities and what they looked like. In Maths, we created our very own map and had to direct our team to a place using directions such as left, right, forwards, backwards, quarter turn and half turn. We found this challenging but we were fantastic at giving directions by the end. In History, we explored seaside holidays from the past and how different they were to now. We looked at how they travelled there, why and when they started.

To end the week, we had our very own games day on Friday! We played our own class game where we worked in teams to move our counter the fastest round the board. We had lots of challenges that had us in fits of laughter! Then to top it all off, we had our school Summer Fair. Boy, it did not disappoint. We had our arms and bags full of gifts and treats, coloured hair and cool tattoos! Thank you to the incredible Team TSP for making our afternoon so wonderful!

Have a brilliant weekend, Year 2!
