Week Two updates – Class Five

Good Morning,

I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend. I just wanted to pop a few reminders for the upcoming week.

Monday 4th is our Hero dress up day. The children can come to school dressed as a superhero or a real life hero. Please don’t feel you have to spend a lot of money – you could even make a cape using an old t-shirt – examples are linked on a previous post.

Tuesday 5th is PE day.
PE Kit is a Black or red hoodie or sweatshirt
Black, red or white t-shirt
Black, navy blue or grey joggers or sports leggings
Sports trainers
Named water bottle
Please also ensure earrings are removed.

Thursday 7th is our stay and challenge at 2.45 where we are inviting you into school to join in with a craft that links to our brand new expedition. Please don’t worry if you aren’t able to make it – there will be lots more opportunities over the coming year.

Friday 8th is PE day (as above)

We will also be taking time this week to share the getting to know you envelopes we gave out before summer.

Any questions, let me know.
Looking forward to seeing everyone to get started with our hook week for our new expedition! 🦸🏻‍♀️

Does Crew stop at the school gate?

We have a guiding question this week – does Crew stop at the school gate? We decided that it definitely didn’t and we wanted to spread kindness far and wide! We have designed and painted wood cookies in class and then this morning we headed out into Norton to hide them hoping our local community will smile when they see them or take one and hide it somewhere else for someone to find and make them smile.

Awesome job Class Five – you have definitely shown kindness today 💕

Our classroom 💛

We have spent the morning talking about what we want our classroom to look like, sound like and feel like. The coloured dots represent the each child’s main priority. Interesting to see what is important to each other so that our classroom works for everyone!

Great job class five xx

Crew Challenge ⛓

This morning we had the challenge of making the longest paper chain in our crews. We could only use two pieces of poster paper, tape and scissors. We had to work really hard to communicate and work together. We all did a great job and surprisingly all ended up with the same length paper chain!

We are looking forward to our crew quiz tomorrow – I wonder who will win – Crew Tinker, Crew Goodyer or Crew Thurman?

Presentation of Learning

A huge thank you to everyone who attended the year two presentation of learning this afternoon. I was so proud of the children for leading the whole presentation themselves and to hear them so clearly articulate their learning was fantastic.

If you scroll down I have linked in the glossary and task if you would like the children to share their learning with other special people at home.

Don’t forget our recipe books and shopping products are available via parent pay to order.

We hope you enjoyed it too.

!! FAO Year Two Parents !!

Dear Parents/carers,

During the next few weeks, our Year 2 children are preparing for their ‘Final Word’ presentation. This is a reflection on their Infant school years whereby they reflect on their character growth, academic success and the beautiful work that they have produced during their time at Norton Infant School. This is also a time to use their reflections to share why they are ready to take on their new challenge at Norton Junior School. This is something the children will be spending a lot of time on supported by their class teacher.

During their presentations, we would like to invite you to attend their Final Word along with their class teacher and possibly other members of staff too. Please fill out the form below by Friday 16th June so that staff can align times and dates for the year 2 pupils presentations.

Thank you for supporting the children with this important part of their time in year two.

Crew Check In

I asked my crew this morning what did they think was the most important thing they had learned so far at our school. I shared the biggest thing I had learned was that I learn new and amazing things every day from my class, crew and people I work with but their responses just blew me away …
