Teddy Bear’s Picnic
What a terrific ted-tastic day we had. The sun shone, the bears came, the picnic was tasty and we all had a wonderful day!
Living and Learning – I know how to keep money safe
The children had lots to contribute during our discussions about money! We played a game which helps children learn how to keep their money safe.
You can help at home by talking about where money comes from and how we can keep it safe.
Walk to School Week 21-25 May 2018
Lots of children have been walking to school this week. The raffle box is getting full. The draw will be made on Friday 25th May (lots of lovely prizes to choose from) so remember to bring your tickets to school so they go in the box. Thank you to The Buffers for allowing us to use their car park so children can walk at least 0.5km to school, even if they live further away!
Living and Learning – Money, money, money.
KS1 have been discussing where money comes from and the choices we have when we do have some money. What would you spend £5 on? The children maturely spoke about the difference between ‘needing’ to buy something and ‘wanting’ to buy it. 
Walk to School Week 21-25 May 2018
Next week, 21 – 25 May, is Walk to School Week. Today, each child was given a leaflet and raffle tickets. For each day that your child walks to school, they’ll be able to put a raffle ticket into the box in the school office. Tickets will be drawn and prizes will be won! For those that live too far away to walk the full distance, The Buffers have agreed to let parents/carers park in their car park, so children still have the chance to enter the prize draw (scooting or riding a bike also counts). There are spare leaflets in the school office.
Living and Learning – money matters
This week and next, we’ll be talking about money. During our toys topic, we’ve already discussed how important (or not) we think the cost of a toy is. We talked about where money comes from, how to keep it safe and how we cannot always spend whatever we want.
I get money for my birthday or the tooth fairy.
I get pocket money and my grandma sometimes just gives me it.
I keep my money safe in my money box.
I already have my own bank where I keep my money safe.
My mum says I have to save up if I want something big that costs a lot of money.
Fun-filled days!
Although the year 2 children are currently doing their end of key stage 1 assessments (SATs), they’ve enjoyed a variety of other activities too! They worked together to create games in PE, looked carefully what was growing in the allotment, created pictures using 2D shapes and were building fluency in maths using Top Marks : Hit the button. Help at home by having a competition – they might beat you!

Well done to this week’s Golden Star!
