Crew Councillors will be going around classes from tomorrow with our Poppy Appeal products. We have recommended donations of ÂŁ1 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
In the week after half-term, the children in Year 2 will be making bonfire art and Mrs Green has asked if each child could please bring in a cardboard tube from a toilet roll.
Then in the weeks following, we will be looking to make some pretty candle holders using small glass jars (no bigger than a jam jar). If possible please could each child bring a jar in to be decorated. Please be as careful as you can with this, thick glass is better and more robust if possible. You can hand these to the class teacher directly or wrap them up in paper to make it safer when transporting.
Then (believe it or not!) we will be looking towards Christmas activities! We would greatly appreciate donations of Christmas wrapping paper for a family learning event we have planned.
Thank you for your continued support – we look forward to the lovely art these items will help us to produce 🙂

The children in class 8 spent time critiquing their partners draft writing from yesterday. They learnt how to ‘be kind’, ‘be helpful ‘ and ‘be specific’ in their feedback. They were so helpful to their friends and it really helped them to check spellings in their writing and to ensure that their sentences made sense. What a fabulous start to year 2.
Well done crew!

Over the last half term the children have enjoyed step by step videos helping them to improve sketching skills and following instructions. The children have a vote and choose different things to draw each week. Below is some examples. You have all been amazing !! 😊
I have been absolutely blown away today with the amount of fantastic effort that every single child in class 8 has put into their writing. They have all been working on their handwriting, which is now looking beautiful for everyone. I love the pride that they have taken in their work and the effort has not gone unnoticed, which is why I wanted a picture of everyone on the blog! Amazing work class 8, I am so, so proud of your progress!

A reminder that tomorrow will be a whole school non-uniform day to raise money for the NSPCC. We are asking for a donation of ÂŁ1 to support their charity.
Challenge – To end the week, could you complete a random act of kindness at home or in our local community and send a photograph to your teacher.
We’ve had a huge celebration this morning not just for learning but also for being kind as part of our kind week. We’ve had our first reading certificates handed out today for out bronze award too for reaching 30 reads! As always we are so proud of all of our winners. Keep working hard everyone!
As it is National kindness week Crew Shaw have coloured in our ‘It’s cool to be kind’ posters. They have also talked about how they can be kind to staff and teachers at school and have given shoutouts for their friends that have shown them kindness. I’m very proud of my kind crew who always think about other children and their feelings. Well done guys!
