Week commencing 8th January 

What a fabulous first week back in school we have had. The children enjoyed talking and writing about all of the exciting things that they have been doing over the holidays. On Tuesday we talked about New Years resolutions and why some people make them. 

On Wednesday morning something very exciting happened.We found  a HELP note in our classroom .

When we went out for a walk in the school grounds we found a strange looking egg. We brought the egg inside the classroom to keep it warm and began to predict what might be inside the egg. We had lots of very exciting ideas and are hoping that the egg hatches soon so we can find out if we were right. We then wrote a newspaper report to explain to everybody what we had discovered. We looked at the key features of a newspaper report and ensured that we included these in our own writing. 

In maths our Year2s  have begun our topic on shapes. We began by looking at 2d shapes and recapping the shapes that we know, identifying the sides and the vertices in the shapes. We then moved on to looking at lines of symmetry in 2d shapes.

Our Year 1s have been working upon their numbers to 20 and using their numberline to solve problems.

In science we began to look at our new topic of materials.(Please see our Curriculum map for more details)

In PSHE we thought about the importance of getting on with others and also the importance of using manners and respect with other people
