We want to let parents and carers know which spelling rules we have been practicing each week so that you can support your children at home too. They have done so well in their spelling sessions and some extra practise at home would be amazing! Please remember to share their learning in their homework books…thanks for always supporting us!

We all had so much fun at our party, which was organised by the fantastic friends of Green Top School. I hope all of the children enjoyed it as much as the adults did!
See you tomorrow everyone…what a super first week back after half term!

In our reading session today, the children were using a dictionary for the first time to find the meaning of some new vocabulary that they came across in their new reading text. They were doing very well with using the alphabet to help them to find the words. It was a great session! Well done class 8

I absolutely love to hear of children putting in 100% effort into something they love outside of school too. Matilda has started to take part in dancing competitions and I am so proud to hear how well she has been doing. Keep it up Matilda and I hope I get to see you perform one day soon!

The children have cut up toilet rolls and mixed bright coloured paints today to create their own bonfire artwork! Great work class 8!

As we begin our second Autumn term and the run up to Christmas the children of KS1 are requesting your help. We have been learning about heroes in our local community and as part of this expedition we have had visits from many wonderful heroes including our Mayor, a midwife, police officers and a firefighter, and have gone out into the local area to visit other heroes who work in care-homes and supermarkets.
On Thursday 23rd November at 4pm, we will be celebrating the end of our expedition by holding the Green Top Pride of Thorne Awards ceremony and we would like your help in nominating someone who is a hero to you or your family. Today the children made lots of wonderful suggestions for possible recipients of an award – nurses, doctors, vets, police officers, firefighters, carers, dance teachers, swimming teachers, our school cook, foodbank workers – anyone who has gone above and beyond to help others would be a worthy nomination. We will be posting a Google form next week for you to make suggestions so please be having a think about who you would like to nominate.
We would also love to get an idea of how it feels to be a hero in our community by spreading some Christmas cheer to children in our local area. With this in mind we are asking parents and carers to send in a small gift to wrap and donate to the Thorne food bank to be distributed to its users over the Christmas period. Ideas for gifts could include – bubble bath, hair accessories, small soft toys, chocolates, stationary such as stickers, pens, pencils or notebooks, reading books or jigsaws etc.
Simply buy the gift you would like to donate and send it into school anytime before Wednesday 15th November. We will be holding a family learning event on the afternoon of Thursday 16th November where we will wrap the presents that you have donated. Or, if you would prefer, you could send in a small cash donation instead and we will buy a gift on your behalf. These will then be passed to the food bank on the evening of our award ceremony.
Any questions please ask.
With many thanks for your continued support,
The KS1 team x
The children were rehooked into our expedition learning today by reading supertato. We then discussed the book and why the main character was a superhero and then the children made their own superheroes using the fruit and vegetables that linked to the story. They had so much fun doing this and I was so impressed with some of their creations.
Also, a special thankyou to all of the parents and carers that provided us with fruit and vegetables today. We really appreciate it and it has definitely helped us with our learning.

Crew Councillors will be going around classes from tomorrow with our Poppy Appeal products. We have recommended donations of £1 for snap bands, wristbands and stationery with zip tags and key rings 50p.
This afternoon, we have been creating our school wreath ready to send to the Remembrance Day Celebrations.
We hope everyone has enjoyed a fantastic half-term break (despite the rainy weather!) and we are so looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow for our first day back.
To help re-hook ourselves into our learning about what it means to be a superhero, we are going to enjoy the exciting story of Supertato! and we are going to have a go at making our very own fruit & veg heroes.
Please could children bring with them a piece of fruit or veg that they can use to create their own hero. If you can’t find anything knocking about your kitchen please don’t worry as you will still be able to take part in the activity.
Thank you for your continuing support, The Year 2 Team x
