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 is planned - more to follow.  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.

Year 1 children have been representing numbers in different ways:

Celebrating World Book Day 2020 - we had an amazing collection of costumes including Mrs Ostle as Winnie the Witch and Mr Spencer as Mr Grinling from the Lighthouse Keeper stories. We loved hearing a selection of our stories throughout the day.

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.

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.
