Coming back stronger in Crew Rodgers

6th March 2021Jayne Rodgers

Hi everyone.

Just wanted to let you know how excited we are to welcome our full crew back on Monday. We have been working hard to think of fun activities to help us all settle back into Green Top life as an awesome and hard-working crew once we are all back in the classroom once more.

Maths, English and Expedition slides will still be posted daily or weekly on the Y2 classroom stream should you wish to share your in-school learning with your family or perhaps you could complete the work again if you would like to practise further.

Have a great weekend! Can’t wait to see your fabulous faces on Monday.

Castles Project.

By Jayne Rodgers26th February 2021

What a fantastic Design and Technology case study we have enjoyed in our Castle Walls expedition in year 2. The children have designed and built authentic castles with working drawbridges as you have seen in our blog posts this week. This afternoon the children participated in a silent gallery where they evaluated their friends work and then used their comments to produce thoughtful and helpful critiques.

Please enjoy this video which showcases their efforts.

Super proud of you guys!

Green Top Challenge – John o Groats to Lands end… and back!

By Tom Ambler26th February 2021

Throughout March, as a school we are planning to walk from John o Groats to Lands end and back! That’s 1,748 miles!

If my calculations are correct as a school we only need to do 110,505 steps a day! Easy!

So charge up your fit bits and smart watches and get your walking shoes ready!

At the end of the week complete the google form that I have attached to this blog and we will record your steps. There will be weekly prizes in school for most steps in a week and all school staff will be getting involved too.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy the challenge

Castles part 2

By Jayne Rodgers24th February 2021

Day 2 of our castle design project and we have painted our castle walls and drawbridges. I am blown away by the quality of the models you have produced boys and girls. They truly are fit for a king!

Grand Designs

By Jayne Rodgers23rd February 2021

Crew Rodgers have spent a wonderful afternoon using our designs to begin building our model castles. We wanted to make sure our castles included authentic features so we spent time cutting crenellations into the walls as well as installing windows and arrow loops. All of our castles boast gatehouses with real working drawbridges to keep out the dragons! Check back tomorrow to see how our work progresses as we begin to decorate and paint our designs.

As part of mental health and well being week last week Key Stage 1 enjoyed learning a dance that has gone viral and really wanted to do their own…who are we to let them down 🙂

 

So, we have an end of term video that Key Stage 1 would love to share with you.

Thank you to children at home and in school and to parents and carers for all of your hard work and supporting school in everything we do.

 

Have a lovely half term

On the trail of a princess

By Jayne Rodgers11th February 2021

Crew Rodgers showed all they have learned in their Position and Direction maths unit today by following, or drawing and describing a trail for a dragon to find a princess. They used squared paper to make forward movements, and clockwise and anticlockwise turns to map out the route the dragon should take. The progress you have made in this unit is obvious.

So proud of you all.
