We started our morning yesterday reflecting on how we were feeling using our zones of regulation. Next we thought about how the characters in our core text might be feeling at different points in the story. We had some very mature conversations – great job year two.
This week we have moved onto reggae music and we are enjoying music from Bob Marley!
Happy listening,
Mrs Parsons xx
Today, we were really lucky, Geoff and Dave came to perform for us. We really enjoyed experiencing live music. We even got to join in and become musicians – we sang a Beatles song!
As I’m sure the children have told you – as part of this expedition, one of our ongoing case studies is going to be Music. To help us ensure the children are exposed to a wide range of musicians and genres, both past and present, we are going to be having a musician of the week.
We will be listening to music from the artist/s each morning as the children enter the classroom and we will be learning more about the artist as the week goes on.
Each week we will add a playlist to our website and ClassDojo pages, this will enable you to share in the Musician of the Week and listen along at home too!
We had a great time this morning dancing around the classroom to our first musician/s – Abba!
Enjoy,

We kicked off our new expedition today! We discovered our first case study was going to be music!
We started it off with a recorder session – keep checking our blog for videos over the coming weeks!

This morning in crew after we had shared our roses and thorns from over the break and we recapped what collaboration is. Next we used those skills to play ColourBrain – we decided the key to collaboration was to communicate!
We started the morning in class five with a hot chocolate, stories by the (interactive!) fire and a very special message from a very important person. 🎅🏻🌟☕️
We have been working really hard to activate our creativity this week – we have been crafting some amazing Christmas decorations. We can’t wait to share the finished product with you all later this week.

Wow! I could not be prouder of these little superstars this week! They showed determination and enthusiasm as they formed a fantastic choir as part of our nativity. We had lots of proud teachers and parents in our community today! Well done everyone 👏🏻

Today we have ticked the next mission on our bingo board. We thought about everyone in our community who we wanted to thank – we made cards and have been busy delivering them across the campus! Check out the rest of our photographs – there is a special card for our parents and adults at home too 🌟
Kindness doesn’t just stop when we finish school. Willow and her mummy have been busy spreading Christmas kindness by making Christmas hot chocolate bombs for everyone in class 5. Just look at all these happy smiles all caused by a little kindness ❤️
Keep it up class five! You’re making our class a very special place to be 🌟
