This term, our new topic ‘Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds’ involves learning about how to keep ourselves healthy and happy! For our Art to Start, we explored the works of Giuseppe Arcimboldo who used fruit, vegetables and other objects in his artwork. Inspired by these and by our growing knowledge of what a portrait is, we used fresh fruit and vegetables to create our own self-portraits in the style of Arcimboldo! Take a look at us in action! Best of all, we got to eat our work after and try some vegetables like lettuce, lemons and peppers!

Kent Fire and Rescue visited RAPS this morning to deliver an engaging and extremely important safety talk. We played Spot the Hazard, identifying risks at home and school and even learnt three simple steps to keep safe and act wisely if there were ever a fire! Did you know we should be checking our smoke alarms once a week?! Ask us all about it!

We love Christmas in Year 2, but this week we have been delving into Christmas traditions all around the world! We have lots of new facts stored in our heads now about what Christians and different communities of people do around the world throughout the festive period – from eating fried chicken to singing and drumming to rotten potatoes! Why not ask us to share a new fact with you?
Take a look at some of the wonderful work produced this week about our families as well through our PSHE curriculum! We have really enjoyed sharing how we spend quality time with the people we love.

Santa arrived at RAPS this morning and Team B-C enjoyed visiting his grotto! We had lots of fun telling Santa what we were hoping to get for Christmas and listening to a story! Ask us all about it.
Team Brun-Cialis spent their Thursday afternoon designing their own invention to reduce plastic waste and/or help the world in a kind or useful way! We particularly enjoyed drawing machines that would help scoop and zap litter from our roads and oceans! We cannot wait to share them with you!
Well done Year 2! What a super performance of 'Lights, Camel, Action' and what a fantastic start to Christmas show season too! You were confident, enthusiastic and absolutely brilliant on stage and we are very proud of all of you for your efforts during rehearsals, on stage today and for showing your resilience in the lead up to the show as well.
From show to party, thank you parents and carers for your continued support as always with costumes, lines, party food and smiles - we know the Year 2 children were so very proud to share their extravaganza with you and to then celebrate with some lovely food!
Ask about our favourite part of the day!
We love Mindfulness Monday at RAPS! Today was lots of fun - some of us made Christmas cards, some of us played Top Trumps and Uno! Some of us used our junk modelling to construct and some of us made some stunning stockings! Some of us practised our handwriting formations with shiny gel pens… and some of us decided to change our reading corner! Ask us what we got up to this morning!
