WOW! I cannot believe the year has gone already.

I just wanted to say to all the parents and children it has been a pleasure teaching them this year, I have had a fantastic time with this Year 2 class and within this school.

 

I am extremely proud of each and every one of you, your determination and effort has always been there, and the progress you have all made, not just academically, but socially, emotionally, you have all grow with confidence, and have really come together as a team. It has been a delight to see.

My email will remain the same if you ever want to email me.

You will all do fab in Year 3.

  

 

 

Trip to Aqua Land

 

Year 2 had a great time at Aqua Land yesterday, the children were very brave going on some of the slides, braver than I was, not sure if you could hear my screams on the big green one.

 

Thank you to all the parents, aunties, uncles and grandparents that helped out.

 

Infants Show

Thank you for everyone who came to watch the Infants show, they were all superstars.

 

 

Well done Year 2, what a group of fantastic actors and singers I have in my class this year.

 

Summer homework

 

I have made a Literacy and Maths homework booklets for the class, this is not compulsory for them to complete it.

I just wanted to give you the option if you were not sure what they could do over the holidays.

Just a reminder, it is the trip to Aqua Land on Thursday, if your child is coming on the bus with us please ensure they are here promptly so we can leave straight after the register, if you are meeting us there please meet us outside the park at 10am to gain entrance.

Water proof sun lotion is advisable, please put on before your child arrives, and if you want to bring it in to re apply during the day that is fine.

 

 

Showtime

 

 

It´s the day of the Infants show, I hope you can all make it to see the children´s fantastic work they have put into learning their lines and their acting.

 

See you this afternoon.

 

Police Mascot

Policia Local

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

are in need of a mascot.

 

The school has been given the task of designing a mascot for them.

 

Two from each class will be picked to be sent into the final competition to have their design made into their new mascot.

 

Designs need to be in by next Friday.

 

 

Maths results

 

Year 2 completed their final Maths test today!

Well done everyone, it was a extremely hard test and you were all maths magicians.

 

They have all individually been given their score, and I will give them their overall percentage next week.

 

Again well done.

You have had a busy week with tests.

 

Only 1 more to go.

 

The children will complete their final test next Friday (writing).

 

Literacy results

 

Each child has been given their scores for the Grammar and Reading and Comprehension tests that they completed this week.

 

Some children appeared a little upset with their scores, I have explained to them that they are completing the same test of British children with English as their first language and should be extremely proud of their results and their fantastic progress they have made this year.

 

They were not easy tests and are in line with the new National Curriculum grading system.

 

Well done everyone in Year 2, you are all superstars!

 

 

Homework

 

If your child has returned this weeks homework, I save sent it home today instead of waiting until tomorrow with this weeks homework in.

 

As they have their first maths test tomorrow they can use the previous homework to practice this evening and tomorrow evening for Fridays final maths test.

 

If they could concentrate on the maths practice over the next two evenings and then the Literacy over the weekend/beginning of next week.

 

Next week we will be concentrating on their final Literacy assessment (Writing).

The weeks Literacy/Read Write Inc lessons will be a build up for their final writing assessment on Friday.

Maths practice tests

 

This week the class has completed 2 maths tests to prepare for their final end of year tests/assessments.
 

After just marking both papers, they have done very well overall.

 

Their marks for the Arithmetic paper were fantastic, the marks for the problem solving and reasoning papers were improved but is an area I will concentrate on for the remainder of the year and hope to see further improvements when they complete their final tests.

The children have been told their scores today.
