Where did that week go? Another fantastic week here in Year 2, well done everyone!

On Monday, we had the wonderful Miss Dilworth support our learning of the opera, The Magic Flute. We have loved listening to, and learning the various songs, creating our own interpretations using a modern twist. As well as this, the incredible Ms McCardle was in teaching us how to play the recoder with accuracey and confidence. We cannot wait to show you all our interpretation of 'Hot Cross Buns' although, we are sure you have heard us practice! 

In Maths, we continued to explore our topic, Measurement. We continued to carefully measure a range of classroom items. After, we compared them using words and symbols ensuring we used the correct mathematical language; shorter, longer, taller and equal. We soon discovered that measuring accurately was a lot harder than it looked but recognised the importance of this skill. 

In History, we learnt all about the wonderful Queen Elizabeth II, a monach from our life time. We learnt about her family history and some of the different challenges she faced over the years such as the world war as a princess! I think we can all agree that this is one of our favourite lessons each week.

On Friday, we completed a range of computing lessons. We started by first desigining and writing our own story before using a variety of apps to replicate it. To help us, we used our favouite story (some from world book day last week) carefully writing the sequal to it! Who knew we had so many authors in class? After, we used the internet to insert pictures to make our story come to life. 

As well as this, on Friday, we marked Red Nose Day, carefully discussing its importance and the reason as to why people still fundraise all these years later. We all agreed that fundraising is key to support people in our country and abroad. 

Have a wonderful, restful weekend!

Clubhouse - Spring 2 - Week 3

What a fun week we have had!

We have had a very busy week in Clubhouse this week and the children have had a great time.

The excitement filled the air on Thursday for World Book Day. The children all showed what great imaginations they have as they acted out their characters during some imaginative play. They also enjoyed writing out some scripts which they then later acted out for their friends.

Throughout the week, the children have been involved in making lots of lovely gifts for Mothering Sunday to give to their loved ones. The children took great pride with their designs and made a variety of different presents and cards to give to the special people in their lives.

The tabletop games have been a hit again this week, especially the dominos. Children of all ages enjoyed taking part and they all showed our nurture value by helping each other to learn the rules of the game.

Much to the children’s delight, we have been able to spend a lot of time outside this week. We have played a variety of different playground games and enjoyed using the scooters and larger equipment to zoom around and burn off some extra energy.

We hope you all have a fantastic weekend.   

Clubhouse - Spring 1 - Week 2

We have had another lovely week in Clubhouse!

The children have asked if our topic for the next few weeks can be space so we have dug out the rocket and blasted off to space. The children got creative with the junk modelling and designed their own space packs, choosing different items carefully for the various items on the jet packs. On Thursday, the children put their fine motor skills to the test and created some lovely art work with the binca fabric and wool. They carefully selected the colours and thickness of the wool in order to create their finished designs.

Our table top games and activities have been popular again this week, the children have been playing monopoly, dobble, guess who and battleships. Some children even decided to create their own games for the other children to play – what great imaginations.

Our nightly ‘Danny go’ and ‘Just Dance’ sessions are a big hit and keep everyone active – especially the staff and has been a great addition to our nightly routine. Hopefully we will be able to get outside again very soon once the nights become a bit lighter and warmer.

We hope you all have a lovely weekend. See you next week!

Clubhouse - Autumn 1 - Week 4

And just like that, another week has flown by.

We have had another fun filled week in Club.

On Monday, we made the most of the sunshine and drew around our shadows outside. The children posed in a variety of yoga positions and had to hold still in order for their friends to draw around their shadow. The children donned their ‘black fact hats’ and discussed some great scientific facts about how shadows are formed and why.

The excitement of the circus filled the air on Tuesday, and even though some of us didn’t manage to venture over to the circus, we created our own circus in club. We watched a variety of circus performances on you tube and then carefully acted out the circus skills that we were able to. The children then put on a show for each other and everyone had a lovely time.

The children had a lot of fun towards the end of the week using the big blocks to build a domino run. They showed great resilience as they patiently placed the blocks in the right place and over the obstacles so that they could knock them down to see if their run worked.

Our technology corner has also been extremely popular with the introduction of the WII. The children have been asking if they could have a games console to play on and were very excited when we got a WII. The children showed great turn taking and wrote their names on the list and waited patiently for their turn. The children were all so excited and have requested some more games to play.

On Wednesday, the children asked for a film night as the weather was not very nice. They thoroughly enjoyed getting cosy with a hot chocolate, biscuit and film of their choice. Let’s hope the weather starts to improve soon.

We hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Science Quality Mark

Date: 21st Oct 2022 @ 9:58am

PSQM 2022.jpg

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the Primary Science Quality Mark. This award celebrates the school’s provision, practice and performance within Science and our commitment to continually improving standards. 

The Primary Science Quality Mark is led by the University of Hertfordshire in collaboration with the Primary Science Teaching Trust.

Associate Professor Jane Turner, PSQM National Director said: “There was never a more important time for primary children to have a high-quality science education. The coronavirus pandemic and climate change crisis have made everyone aware of the importance of science in our world. Primary schools have an important role to ensure that children understand how science works and keeps us and our planet healthy and safe. Schools that have achieved a Primary Science Quality Mark have demonstrated a significant commitment to science teaching and learning. The profile and quality of science in each awarded school is very high. Children are engaging with great science both in and outside the classroom, developing positive attitudes towards science as well as secure scientific understanding and skills. Science subject leaders, their colleagues, head teachers, children, parents and governors should be very proud.”

The full report has been attached below.
