The children in Class 2 enjoyed the challenge of drawing 2D shapes as they arrived at school. Some children also had a go at writing the initial sounds of the shapes. What a great start to the day!

Awesome Assessments
I already knew class five were amazing but they have blown me away this week! The resilience and determination they have shown whilst working on our year two quizzes has been incredible.
We are all super proud of you all,

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
Dancing the afternoon away . . .

On the look out for an expert …
Our next expedition in KS1 is going to be all about keeping ourselves healthy. We are going to be thinking about:
- Keeping our bodies healthy (exercise, looking after our mental health, eating healthily etc)
- Growing food (gardening, planting and growing our own vegetables and herbs)
- Cooking (preparing and making our own simple recipes)
- Supporting local food banks and soup kitchens.
As always, we are on the lookout for some experts to come and speak to the children. If you or someone you know thinks you could help us out, please let me know.
It would be greatly appreciated.

Super Sumdog
Class Five have been giving their brains a work out this morning on the iPads. Sumdog definitely got our minds ready for the day.
Don’t forget you can play Sumdog at home – the more you play – the more points you will earn!
If you can’t remember your log in just drop me a message on Dojo.

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.
Fun Friday in Class 3!
Today we came to school dressed in non uniform to raise funds for Children in Need.
We had lots of fun activities to complete throughout the day:
We really enjoyed designing and then making….and eating biscuits!! Thank you for all of your contributions to Children in Need.
