We have spent the morning talking about what we want our classroom to look like, sound like and feel like. The coloured dots represent the each child’s main priority. Interesting to see what is important to each other so that our classroom works for everyone!
Great job class five xx
This morning we had the challenge of making the longest paper chain in our crews. We could only use two pieces of poster paper, tape and scissors. We had to work really hard to communicate and work together. We all did a great job and surprisingly all ended up with the same length paper chain!
We are looking forward to our crew quiz tomorrow – I wonder who will win – Crew Tinker, Crew Goodyer or Crew Thurman?

Dear Parents/carers,
During the next few weeks, our Year 2 children are preparing for their ‘Final Word’ presentation. This is a reflection on their Infant school years whereby they reflect on their character growth, academic success and the beautiful work that they have produced during their time at Norton Infant School. This is also a time to use their reflections to share why they are ready to take on their new challenge at Norton Junior School. This is something the children will be spending a lot of time on supported by their class teacher.
During their presentations, we would like to invite you to attend their Final Word along with their class teacher and possibly other members of staff too. Please fill out the form below by Friday 16th June so that staff can align times and dates for the year 2 pupils presentations.
Thank you for supporting the children with this important part of their time in year two.

I asked my crew this morning what did they think was the most important thing they had learned so far at our school. I shared the biggest thing I had learned was that I learn new and amazing things every day from my class, crew and people I work with but their responses just blew me away …
It’s Tranquil Tuesday today and we spent our time in crew doing some yoga. We used a Cosmic Yoga video with Jaime on Earth and Samantha Cristoforetti on the International Space Station! It was a relaxing way to start the day and get us all in the green zone!
Crew Parsons’ wanted the link to do it again at home, so here it is!
Great job today Crew Parsons xx
We are getting ourself back into our latest case study by thinking about what aliens could look like. We started off with lots of alien images and we had to find partners in our classroom to describe the alien to – we discovered we were needing to use lots of adjectives!
After that we designed our own aliens using our favourite features from the ones we had been describing. Next, we did a gallery walk where we added lots of vocabulary around the aliens to help our friends with their writing description later.
Crew and writing rolled into one! What a great start to our new half term.
Well done class 5, Mrs Parsons xx
We started our crew circle with a funny check in this morning – how are you feeling?
Then we took our crew circle outside for a walk in the sunshine whilst we shared our news from over half term. When we circled back up we shared something we had found out from someone else in our crew – we even had a squirrel want to join our crew!!
What a lovely way to start the week!

What a lovely celebration crew this morning. I was so impressed with the children who achieved awards this week for lots of different things – following HoWLs, showing incredible effort and one for being kind to all of his peers!
We loved hearing what each class had been learning this week – thank you Travis M, Lillie-May G, Reid H, Teddi S, Emily W and Rudy W for sharing your learning so confidently.
I wonder who we will be celebrating next week?

Class 5 have had a great day in the sunshine exploring Austerfield Study Centre. We tried our hand at orienteering and how working together as a crew was going to help us succeed. We had lunch in the sunshine followed by our own mini exploration where we made journey sticks, maps and studied the nature and environment we were in.
The children all behaved impeccably and were a joy to spend the day with. A huge thank you to Miss Tinker and Mrs Inman who supported us today.
