This week we have gone for the famous composer, John Williams. We have picked five songs for our play list – but we think as you look at home you will find hundreds more that we could have used!
Enjoy, Mrs Parsons xx

Expert Visitor – Dr Teanby-Clark
Today we had Dr Steph Teanby-Clark come into school. She explained her job to us and showed us some of the equipment and tools she uses. She also answered our questions about how we could be the healthiest version of ourselves. We were really impressed with the thoughtful questions and respectful listening from the children in class five.
We are looking forward to using what we have found out towards answering our guiding question.

‼️FAO Year Two Parents ‼️
Firstly, a huge thank you to all those parents who attended our year two parent sessions today. I hope we were able to give you an idea of what to expect over the coming weeks for you and your child. Also, how we can work together to give your children the best experience during their last two terms at Norton Infant School.
Please find below a copy of the slides used in our meeting. We will also send home a copy of the pack for those parents unable to attend.
If you have any questions or concerns going forward, please don’t hesitate to ask one of the year two team or drop me a message on ClassDojo.
Thank you for your support,
Mrs Parsons 😊
Critique Detectives
I have been blown away by class 5 this morning! Not only did we write a fantastic postcard class model to Lulu the donkey (from our core text!) but we critiqued it to decide how we could make our independent work tomorrow even more incredible!
I can’t wait to see what you all produce!

Wise Wednesday – Being Healthy
We had a busy crew meeting this morning! We have been thinking about why it is important to be not just physically healthy, but mentally healthy too. We created an anchor chart – we have pledged to try as many of the things on our mental health list before the end of the year! Great job Crew Parsons xx
Tranquil Tuesday
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.
Musician of the week!
This week we have moved onto reggae music and we are enjoying music from Bob Marley!
Happy listening,
Mrs Parsons xx
XP on tour!
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!
Musician of the Week
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,
Mrs Parsons xxx
