Class 2- Year 1 & 2

A huge Class 2

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".

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

Christmas Song Lyrics

Christmas Song 1 - Welcome

Christmas Song 2 - Clip Clop

Christmas Song 3 - Knock knock

Christmas Song 4 - Warming our toes

Christmas Song 5 - An angel appeared

Christmas Song 6 - Baby sleeping

Christmas Song 7 - Three kings

Christmas Song 8 - Jesus is born

Christmas Song 9 - Hallelujah

"Great Fire of London" - songs: words and music to sing along to

We celebrated Children in Need 2020 by coming to school in our Pyjamas. School was even more fun and this continued at lunchtime by enjoying Mrs Benson’s Pudsey biscuits.

"Children in Need" - here are the children in Class 2 enjoying "Find out Friday" (non-fiction) books at the start of the day. Many thanks for all your generous contributions to help raise money for charity.

Class 2 enjoyed an autumnal walk (many thanks to Zoe's family for permission to explore their field).

Year 1 children have been representing numbers in different ways:

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.

To celebrate the end of our Christian value Creativity and Candlemass Class 2 lead one of our whole school collective worships. Mr Spencer, Mrs Ostle and Mrs Taylor thought we were amazing.
