Welcome to Class 2 - September 2020!

 

Hello and welcome to a new year in Class 2

 

Despite the strange times we are living in, we have already been busy this term with lots of exciting activities and sport, including multi-skills coaching with Rob and dancing with Zoe.  The Year 2 not-quite-a-Sleepover was much enjoyed - see the pictures below.  Keep an eye on our webpage (here) and also on the Sports page for photos of some of our activities...

 

Once again, we are delighted that all the new children appear to have settled in so well and so quickly - thank you for helping them to make the transition from home-schooling and Class 1.

 

November update: we hope you like the pictures from "Children in Need", and that you have fun singing along with the songs we have learnt linked to "The Great Fire of London".

Lunchtime fun with tasty treats

Red Nose and spoon relay

We discussed the challenge undertaken by Jermaine Jenas and Alex Scott and their teams - to walk 100 kilometres carrying a red nose on a spoon all the way. Our relay was lots of fun although tricky with the light breeze not helping with the task of balancing.
To find out what we have been up to in our lockdown school hub bubble please take a look at class 1 pages where all images have been uploaded in one shared space. Our Early years and Key stage one key worker children were taught in one bubble in class 2 - Mrs Taylor has put together a selection of pictures from the last few weeks. We had lots of fun - worked hard and created lots of memories from these crazy times.

Our Christmas Nativity 2020 - due to COVID restrictions our performance was a little different this year without our usual audience but we hope you like how it all went. Please look on the school video pages (class 1) for footage of the performance

Mary, Joseph and the donkey The angel visits Mary in her garden Soldiers come a-calling Our innkeepers Getting settled in the stable The shepherds and their sheep The angels who came with messages The angels join the scene Shepherds warming their toes by the fire They snoozed there too! Three Wise Men and a beautiful star The kings and the camels Those trusty camels The soldiers looking very smart Innkeepers waiting to go on stage Beautiful angels Our nursery audience Social distanced audience

We joined class 1 on a visit to Zoe’s farm to hear about this busy time of year. The lambs had started to arrive so we were keen to see them.

Hello and welcome to Class 2 webpage - September 2018

 

We are looking forward to another fun packed year!  It has been a lovely start to the new year in school and we've already been very busy (see photos below).

 

This  half term our topics are "Ourselves"  and  "Drawing" in Art.

 

Just a few reminders for this  half term:

The Year 2 sleepover is on Friday 12th Oct (please note change from original date of 5th Oct).

Our "Harvest Festival" at church is on Monday 15th October at 2pm . Class 2 will making a hamper for the raffle so we will probably asking for donations from you  again this year. Thanks in advance.

Don't forget to try and make time for the "Education City" homework - each week there will be a number of activities to do - one or two each day is probably best.

 

Thanks for your on-going support,

Mr Spencer and Mrs Ostle
