Year Two arrived at school this morning 'fully festive' and ready for a run. They enjoyed their Santa Dash and mostly, managed to avoid the mud!!
Mrs Dennis. Just the very mention of Christmas causes great excitement in Year Two. This week we have put up our Christmas tree and the children have created some decorations to go on it. We also have our whole class advent calendar, which provides us with a whole class treat each day to share together.
Mrs Dennis. In maths, we have been learning about money. We created our own class shop and have been been busy solving money problems. Any opportunities that the children get to use money in real life situations (I appreciate that this is very difficult in the current situation) would be great.
Mrs Dennis. In Year Two the children have thoroughly enjoyed finding out about the village of Mugurameno in Zambia. They created some beautiful pictures in art, linked to our topic creating silhouettes of the animals. I'm sure you will agree that they look fantastic up on the display!

Please encourage the children to practice their sounds as much as possible, and encourage the children to look for their ‘special friends’, Fred talk and then read the word when decoding words. The test is nothing for the children to worry about it, and they are very used to carrying out similar assessments. Homework will be set on a Wednesday and will be due in on a Monday. Mrs Dennis.
