Maths Tests

On Friday Year 2 have their two assessment tests, will be going through everything we have learnt so far this term tomorrow and Thursday.

 

I did send home the children´s old homework book last week, if they could practice over past activities and their usual homework that will be sent home Thursday.

 

I will obviously update you after their tests, and send home their scores as normal.

 

I´m sure they will all do great!

 

Lorena and Alicia M performance

Last week Lorena won a violin competition and asked if she could perform to the class. On Friday she brought her violin in and played along to the song 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' from the movie Merry Poppins. She played it fantastically, I can see why you won Lorena.

 

 Alicia M has also been learning to play the Spanish guitar and wanted to perform for the class, she played along to the song of 'price tag' by Jessie J and again played fantastically.

 

 

If anyone else has a secret talent, please tell me, we may start a little show time during our Friday afternoon golden time.

 

Maybe even a Year 2 band will get started!

 

Well done girls, remember practice makes perfect!

 

Infant Show

After a meeting with the Infant department, we will be changing our initial show to enable the younger children to learn the songs.

 

The new song sheet will be handed out this week, and then the character list/words next week.

Followed by the costume letter at the end of May.

 

I apologise for the change and feel sure that this show is more appropriate for the whole of the Infant department.   

Van Gogh

 

Art

 

This half term, Year 2 are learning about the artist Vincent Van Gogh.

They have been learning about the techniques he used and then practising these skills to create one of his most famous paintings 'Sunflowers'.

 

They all look amazing, please come and have a look at them in our classroom.

 

 

Treasure Map

Little Write

 

Today Year 2 had fun creating their own treasure maps, where they will hide some treasure next week for their peers to try and follow the directions of the map to find the treasure.

 

They designed it using the Infant patio, walking around and drawing and labelling the key items in it.

 

 

To make it look old and authentic, they used a tea bag to discolour the paper.

End of year show

It´s nearly Showtime!!!!

 

It is coming to that time of year, when Year 2 lead the Infants department
end of year show.

The show has been chosen by Year 2 and the song sheets have been sent home today.

Over the weekend I will choose the characters and send their words home to learn next week.

I will also give out a costume letter with an example of a costume for them to wear.

We are all very excited, including myself!
