Science- Planting, by Mrs Schultz

We spent last term learning all about plants. We planted some seeds and bulbs in the planters outside our classrooms and have been observing their growth over several weeks. We hope that you would agree that our flowers are making our school playground a bright and beautiful place to visit. Well done Year 2!
Enterprise Money, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 20th Jun 2023 @ 10:46am
As a year group, our children decided that we would spend our 'Enterprise Day' money on equipment for wet playtimes. The children requested gel pens, paint pens and glitter glue. Miss Ward and I had so much fun shopping to purchase everything on their wish list! We even added some extras like: tracing paper and stickers. We decided to give them as a treat to all of the children after their SATs were over. We've been lucky to not have any rain since, but will have them to hand whenever the weather decides to be against us!
Butterflies!, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 20th Jun 2023 @ 9:52am
In Mrs Schultz's class, the children have been watching the life cycle of a caterpillar in real life. We watched the tiny little caterpillars grow and grow until they were ready to build their cocoons. We then carefully transferred the cocoons into a net where we waited and watched eagerly for 2 weeks. Finally, they hatched out into beautiful butterflies. We released them into our playground just before the May half term. The children are convinced that they keep seeing them in the area!
Peter Thorpe- Space Art, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 20th Jun 2023 @ 9:38am
We worked hard last half term to create art work inspired by the artist Peter Thorpe. We created rockets and planets; using the pastels to make them colourful. We chose whether we would like to blend together the colours by rubbing the pastel designs with our fingers. Afterwards, we used splats and lines of paint to make the paintings look more abstract, just like Peter Thorpe's paintings. When we had finished, we set up an art gallery in our classrooms. The Year 1 children were invited to visit our art gallery. The Year 2 children took great pleasure in explaining to them how we had created our designs and the media we used. Great work Year 2!

F2 - Mental Health Awareness Week, by Mrs Harris
Date: 20th May 2023 @ 9:34pm
This week is 'Mental Health Awareness Week'. In F2 we have been learning about the different emotions we can feel, what might make us feel these emotions and how it's important to talk about these feelings.
We spoke about what we could do to make ourselves and others happy. The children had some excellent ideas! They said we should...
-Always use kind words
-Ask our friends if they're ok
-Ask others to play a game
-Talk to our grownups if something is upsetting us
The children then made hands with the names of 5 people they could talk to if they ever feel sad or worried. They also drew a picture to show how they were feeling today.
"If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours." ? ??
