Year 2 - Summer 2 - Week 6
Date: 14th Jul 2023 @ 1:00pm
We finish our final full week of term with smiles on our faces with excitement and nerves for the new adventures to come, as we begin our transition into Year 3.
This week in English, we went on so many different adventures! First, we met The Snow Queen and discussed whether she was evil or good. We talked about all the different elements, watching the trailer for the new film ‘Elementals’ and then created our very own element king or queen, using amazing adjectives to describe them. Then, we met Paddington during the week. We listened to the crazy adventures he had to go through in order to get from darkest Peru to England. We then created our very own adventure for Paddington to go through.
In Maths, we became detectives and went on a mystery hunt! Each day, we were faced with a new mystery – the missing gnome, the winning kite and even Matilda’s chokey mystery. We had to solve a variety of questions such as fractions, time, addition, subtraction and more to work out clues that had been left. Based on the clues we solved, we could cross off our suspect list to find the person who had committed these crimes! We showed really amazing partner work, ensuring that we worked together to solve our clues.
What a delight it was to watch the Year 6 Leavers Production this week! There certainly were lots of tears of joy and sadness, as we sent our best wishes for their next steps into High School and thanked them for the memories they have helped us to make at TSP.
This week, the children also enjoyed a visit from Rob from Formby Library who informed the children about this year's Summer Reading Challenge. Very exciting! There are two ways you can take part in the Summer Reading Challenge:
You can join at Formby Library and take part in person. The librarian will give you a collector folder, stickers, and other special rewards, and help you find books to read. Or, take part online by signing up here. Set a reading goal and log your books on your profile. When you reach your goal, you will unlock a virtual badge and certificate.
Please note, the in-person and online challenges are separate. Medals and certificates are only available via the library, for those taking part in the in-person challenge. We hope the children enjoy completing the reading challenge and this will be celebrated when we return to school in September.
To end the week, we had a very fun Friday where we got to eat our very own ice-cream cones, decorated with toppings and sauce!
In preparation for the next academic year, please see the Year 3 Successful Start PowerPoint attached at the end of this blog.
Have a fantastic weekend, Year 2. See you on Monday, for your very last few days in Year 2!
