This morning Year 2 have had a virtual school visit with the author of How To Train Your Dragon – Cressida Cowell. We got to watch the new trailer for the film as well as listen to Cressida read extracts from her book and answer questions.
This morning, we had a wonderful Stay and Read session in the sunshine, and it truly was a lovely way to start the day. It was so special to see children reading to adults, adults reading to children, and everyone enjoying a quiet moment surrounded by books.
A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who joined us—it was extra special as it marked the final Stay and Read for your child at Norton Infant School. We’re so grateful for your continued support and for sharing these moments with us.
This morning we had the really exciting opportunity to have a workshop with Phoenix Dance!
Y2 have had a lovely time this morning in crew reading in the sunshine ☀️☀️
This week Class Six have been working as artists and creating rocket and space art inspired by Peter Thorpe. We worked with the tricky medium of chalk on black paper to create some stunning artwork!
We think the children have outdone themselves and the art is incredible!
This week Y2 have been making the most of the good weather! We spent lots of our crew sessions outside, but our favourite was our Tranquil Tuesday crew sessions.
Class Six absolutely blew our socks off this week with their amazing easter egg designs.
Well done to all of the children (and grown ups!) who joined in!
We spent time celebrating World Maths Day in our key stage one community meeting this morning. We thought about when we use maths outside of school, why it is important and we even talked about some famous mathematicians!
We finished our community meeting with some maths puzzles. I was very impressed how people were grappling to solve the problems!
Super work Key Stage One

This week in our Wise Wednesday community meeting we reminded ourselves of our new Science characters that are going to help us to think scientifically.
Next, we had some Science riddles to try and solve – look at how many scientific superstars we had this morning!
I wonder if you can solve the riddles? Have a go …
1 – With my powerful lens you can look at the stars, and spot the planets like Venus and Mars.
2 – I’m a type of energy. You use me every day … for light, cooking, computers and the music that you play.
3 – I am a gas that is found in the air. Without me, there would be no life anywhere!
4 – I am a precious metal mined from deep underground. I’m yellow in colour. In jewellery, I’m found.
5 – I am part of your body, with a very important role. Your voice, sight and memory are some things I control.
6 – I can be sunshine, snow, wind or rain. I change every day … people often complain!
7 – Plant and animal cells too tiny to see are magnified when you look through me.
8 – I am a liquid. In rivers I flow When I freeze I am ice. I’m called H2O!
Good Luck
Mrs Parsons xx
