We talked about how it important it is to only use the Internet with adult supervision and only use websites approved by your adults. We also thought about how to make sure we are kind to others online. The children then took part in an activity to sort information it is safe to share online and information that should be kept offline.

Read MoreFruit Pizzas!
Published 28/01/22, by AdminThis week in English we've been looking at the features of recipes. We were inspired by our text Burger Boy to create a recipe for a healthy alternative to pizza. We decided to create fruit pizza recipes earlier this week, and today we had a go at following these recipes!
The class really enjoyed making a variety of fruit pizzas and arranging the toppings in creative ways!
Read MoreExercise!
Published 28/01/22, by AdminThis week as part of our healthy bodies, healthy minds topic we've been learning about what happens to our bodies when we exercise. Year 2 learnt about what happens to your heart, brain and muscles as well as other parts of your body when you exercise. We thought it might be fun for you to take part in a bit of exercising at home and talk about how your body feels when moving to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3LPrhI0v-w&list=PLyCLoPd4VxBuxu3sLztrvWFehzv-LnR2c&index=2

Read MoreUpdate on spellings this term
Published 19/01/22, by AdminFor this term, we're going to be sending home spellings every two weeks. This is to enable them to be taught properly in school. We've got a little bit out of sync due to our Personal Development week at the start of term, but I aim to ensure that new spellings go some fortnightly. The test will usually be on Fridays, but it may take place on a Monday if there have been timetable shifts.
