Musician of the Week

As part of our expedition, one of our ongoing strands 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,

Thoughtful Thursday

Thoughtful Thursday really got our brains working this morning! We had to work together try try and solve the puzzle – there was lots of communicating and resilience shown!

Super job year two crews

Hot Chocolate And Marshmallows

As a reward for all their hard work last week, year two had a ovely morning in crew this morning drinking hot chocolate and marshmallows. We also listened to a Christmas story and had a quick dance to some Christmas songs before opening our letter from Zoink the elf!

Starting the week off right

This morning we told our partner all the things we have been busy with this weekend then we had to circle up and tell our crew what our partner had been up to. Lots of smiles and careful listening.

Well done

Maths Courage

I’ve been so impressed this morning with children showing their Maths courage and modelling our subtraction methods to the whole class. Lots of respectful agreeing and disagreeing to make sure we all arrived at the correct answer.

Craftsmanship and Quality in Maths

We have been looking for craftsmanship and quality in Maths today – Class 5 did not disappoint! The effort and concentration the children put into completing some subtraction problems using number lines was fantastic to see. We quickly discovered that for our strategy to work we needed to really think about our presentation and create some beautiful Maths.

Look how proud we are!

Grappling in Maths

I was blown away in Maths – lots of us found it tricky but by working together we got there in the end! We even had some people feeling so confident they modelled their methods to the whole class!

Super work ⭐️

Compassion

Yesterday we were thinking about what our character trait of compassion looks like, feels like and sounds like in our classroom. Look at all this people we spotted showing compassion in our room!
