FAO Year Two Parents

On January 12th 2023, we will be holding two sessions for year 2 parents. During these sessions we will be sharing with you expectations around year two, what that looks like for you and your child, how we assess in year two and what adjustments can be made to support your child. There will also be time to speak to the year two staff and ask any questions you might have. Please can we ask that siblings and other children don’t attend these sessions. 


If you could return this GoogleForm before 2nd December to enable us to plan and resource the sessions. 


Any queries please let me know, Mrs Parsons xx

Human Rights

We spent our Mindful Monday crew thinking about human rights. We had a chat about the difference between wanting something and needing it. We discussed what our rights are as a human and we learned that in some parts of the world people are not living with access to their basic human rights. We are eager to spend some time in crew thinking about how we can make a difference to these people.

Class Five are Authors!

We have been really busy in our expedition and English lessons. We have been learning all about different materials, we have also been reading different versions of the Three Little Pigs.

We decided to write our own version called The Three Little Knights and the Big Bad Dragon.

What do you think of our story? We are super proud of it!

Once upon a time there were three little knights.  They lived in a beautiful, big castle with their mum, the Queen.

One day the Queen said, “Your fighting is too much. You must leave!”.

So the three little knights set off to find a new home.

The first little knight built his castle out of cardboard. Then the Big Bad Dragon knocked on the door.  “Little knight, little knight let me come in!”

“No, no, no” said the little knight. “Not by the point on my shiny metal sword!”  

“Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll burn your castle down!”.  So he huffed and he puffed and he burnt the castle down but the little knight ran back to his mum as fast as he could.

The second little knight built his castle out of wood.  Then the Big Bad Dragon knocked on the door.  “Little knight, little knight let me come in!”. 

“No, no, no” said the little knight. “Not by the point on my shiny metal sword!”  

“Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll burn your castle down!”.   So he huffed and he puffed and he burnt the castle down but the little knight ran back to his mum as fast as he could.

But the third little knight was smarter than the others and he built his castle out of stone and cement. Then the Big Bad Dragon knocked on the door. “Little knight, little knight let me come in!”

“No, no, no!” said the little knight. “Not by the point on my shiny metal sword!”

“Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll burn your castle down!” So he huffed and he puffed and he tried and he tried but he could not burn the castle down!

The Big Bad Dragon got upset and started to cry. 

Even though he had been mean, the little knights wanted to cheer him up. The Queen and the little knights had some fireworks so they invited the Big Bad Dragon to breathe fire and light them. They had a beautiful night watching the fireworks together.

Wise Wednesday

Our guiding question in crew today was ’What makes a good friend?’ We thought about Andy and Woody, Lilo and Stitch and Mr Bean and Teddy and what made them such good friend. Then we worked together to sort different scenarios into whether they were things that would make us a good friend or a not so good friend.

We finished off with reading The Selfish Crocodile – maybe you would like to watch it again? https://youtu.be/0-NhjfJ_RZI

Our check out was sharing what makes us a good friend – we felt really proud hearing our friends say such lovely things about us.

Team work makes the dream work . . .

This morning we had an awesome crew session! We challenged ourselves to build the biggest tower we could – it was tricky.

Next, Mrs Parsons challenged us to work as a crew to build a line that stretched from class five all the way to Mrs Smith’s office! We had to communicate and really work hard together. Eventually we made it!

Crew Parsons really can do anything!

It’s been a strange first day back . . .

I was terrified opening the door this morning! I’m usually met with lots of smiling faces but this morning this scary bunch turned up!

We had a great time doing lot’s of different spooky activities – our favourite was the mummy challenge!
