This week, the children have been working hard, drafting their own sequels to Oliver Jeffers’ book “How to catch a star”. They have explored different settings and thought about what exciting adventures the boy and his friend the ‘star’ could have. In Geography, we are continuing with our unit on seas and coasts. The children have been posing geographical questions and undertaking research to find the answers, focusing on the areas of Poole, Isle of Skye and Cardigan Bay. They have looked at physical and human features, land and sea uses and wildlife. In our ...
This week seems to have flown by, even allowing for the bank holiday! In PSHE, we have been thinking about trust.

The children worked in small groups to create circles of trust – thinking carefully about who would be in their circle of trust and who might not. In Science, we have been thinking about the lifecycles of humans and ...
Today has been filled with much excitement. We have been back to the pond to notice the seasonal changes and to find evidence of lifecycles.

In PE, the children have been enjoying their time with Mrs Hutchings and have been practising straddle levers and a wide variety of rolls with the children focusing on pointed fingers and toes, controlling their movements and finally working together to create ...
I hope you all had a super Easter break. We were certainly lucky with the weather! It was lovely to see the children back this week and it absolutely feels like summer because we are finally playing on the field at break times! This half term, we are reading Oliver Jeffers’ “How to catch a star” and will be writing in a range of genres including recounts and narratives. In maths, we are continuing to look at both time and fractions. Time is always a challenging concept so any opportunities you can find at home ...
Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope you thoroughly enjoyed the Year 2 Class Assembly this morning. The children were amazing and we have had so much fun learning the songs and practising our lines in the lead up to the big performance. Thank you so much for all your support as the children learned their lines.
We have also been hard at work this week practising our sewing skills and the children have created both a finger puppet and a glove puppet (photos below). I was so impressed with all the children as they used their growth ...
