The last full week of school has been an exciting one. Children had lots of fun on Lapland day, wearing pyjamas drinking hot chocolate and taking part in Christmas activities. Year 1 also enjoyed their Christmas dinner. It was lovely in the hall with music and the children pulling crackers!
Lapland Day was was an absolutely great! the children took part in lots of Christmas arts and crafts and even got to make some delicious biscuits. The children also enjoys Hot Chocolate and a Christmas story at the end of the day.
There are no Spellings going home over the Christmas holiday. So you and your children can have a little break BUT it would be brilliant if you could keep reading with your children, as we would love for the children to want to read for fun!

The Tower Of London
Our Year 2 children visited the The Tower Of London this week, and they had a fabulous time. They had a lot of positive things to say about the trip to their adults. Rohith, 'This is my best day ever and I will like to go on other trips!'

Science
This week in science we learnt about ‘microhabitats’. A microhabitat is a small area which differs somehow from the surrounding habitat. Its unique conditions may be home to unique species that may not be found in a larger region. We went outside and searched for microhabitats and what lives there. We were lucky enough to find slugs, lady birds, snails and worms. Our task was to draw the microhabitats we observed, describe it and write what lives there.
Literacy
Our Year 2 children finally had the chance to visit The Tower Of London this week and they had a fabulous time. After the trip, the children wrote a detailed recount of their visit to The Tower Of London. They wrote in the past tense and in a chronological order. Then to create a clearer picture of the fabulous things they saw, they used amazing adjectives. Well done Year 2!
Maths
This week, pupils have used their knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes and their properties to sort them into groups. Also, they have different patterns using 2D and 3D shapes. Pupils have now completed their shapes unit and will take the end of unit assessment to show their understanding of the whole unit.
Christmas Dinner
This week, the children had a delicious Christmas Dinner. They enjoyed their lunch so much that they started a singalong to the Christmas music playing and one child remarked, ‘It was the best day ever!’
These children have worked extremely hard and have been rewarded for all of their hard work and efforts.
