Today’s the day the teddy bears had their picnic!
The rain didn’t put us off! After enjoying our class novel so much, we had a Teddy Bear’s Picnic to celebrate. Teddy Robinson (our class novel text) would’ve been proud. We moved the tables and chairs and had our picnic inside.
Listening, sharing and supporting
The Year 2 children have been super supportive helping their Year 1 counterparts with phonics. They have enjoyed showing what they know and helping the Year 1s prepare for the Phonics Screen this week. Thank you Year 2s!
Scholes Gala 2019 – WUSU, Pop Choir and Skipping Crew
Scholes Gala was a rather wet affair this year but our children still did us proud. The WUSU dancers strutted their stuff, Pop Choir sang their hearts out and the skippers jumped with smiles on their faces! Well done and thank you to everyone who came to show their support.
Living and Learning: Relationships Education
Thank you to those parents and carers who attended the recent relationships education information sessions.
‘A useful session to find out what my child will be learning and when.’
‘Lots of helpful information.’
‘Very helpful to understand what vocabulary the children will be learning.’
These sessions were aimed at making parents and carers more aware of some of the following aspects of our curriculum.
- What is our Living and Learning curriculum?
- What does relationships education currently look like throughout school?
- What is included in our Relationships and Sex Education policy?
Relationships education forms part of our Living and Learning for this half term and if you were unable to attend the session, our progression of learning (pg10) and the terminology (pg6) that may be used as part of this learning can be found in our RSE policy.
Science – pea planting
All the children have planted peas this week and are excitedly waiting for them to start growing. Who will grow the tallest pea shoot?
Maths – hooray for arrays!
The Year 1 children have been laying the foundations for leaning times tables this week – repeated addition, counting in 2s, 5s and 10s and learning about arrays. The Year 2s are trying to learn the times table and division facts too. Help at home by having a times table poster, counting in steps, reciting the times table facts, looking for patterns or talking about how you learnt your tables.
SATs – all done!
The Year 2 children have been busy completing their ‘quizzes’ during May. The children will hopefully remember all the other fun they had during this time too. It was an opportunity for the year groups to spend time together too, supporting each other in their learning. We have done some mixed phonics and maths lessons, maths games, skipping and shared reading, while other small groups worked on their SATs booklets in a quiet classroom.
Living and Learning : Money Matters themed week
We had great fun doing some coin rubbings in art this week. This also made us wonder what else would make an interesting rubbing. Here is what we found…
Super skippers
We are all still loving skipping. We have being trying to beat our personal best; counting how many skips we can do in 1 minute and then trying to improve put score. We love the big rope too, working together and encouraging each other.
My first go was 15 and now I can do 43!
Living and Learning-Money Matters
