The children in class 8 have had a lovely morning in their different number clothes and making their own number games. Well done everyone!

Year 2 spelling words

2nd February 2024Aime Shaw

These are the spellings that we have been learning and practising this week. Please spend some time with your children reading and looking at these at home also. It really does make a huge difference when they are writing. Thank you for supporting school and your child with their learning.

***SAVE THE DATE***

Thursday 8th February 2024, 2-3pm

We would love it if any parents and carers could come and join us for our art workshop on Wednesday. We will be starting our 2nd case study, which is about life in the sea and this will be a great way to hook the children into their learning. We are hoping that you will support your children with their art work but also have a go yourselves. We will be keeping your artwork to display in our art gallery at our Presentation of learning.

Please come to the office to sign in just before 2pm on Thursday 8th February.

Thank you

Crew Knowles: English planning

1st February 2024Rebecca Knowles

Crew Knowles worked hard to plan their setting descriptions of Bear Island this week. They thought carefully about what the character might be able to see, hear, smell, taste and touch on the island and how these could be described. They’ve worked really hard on figurative language including alliteration, similes and personification so I can’t wait to read their final touchdowns!
