It's Monday! At RAPS, Monday morning gives us a chance to choose from different activities to channel our energy in a positive way. These mindful activities help us to focus, stay present and express how we are feeling. This morning, we have had everything from making peg board flags to making 'blueberries and pizza', from sorting coloured cubes to building pyramid traps! Ask us all about it!
Today, we learnt about the Wright Brothers, Wilbur and Orville, and started to explore the world of inventions, with a special focus on moments in the history of flight. Team Amin-McCurry have been learning about how the groundbreaking ideas and discoveries in aviation have shaped the world we live in today. From the very first flights to the marvels of modern aircraft, we then had a go at piecing history chronologically ourselves. Ask us all about it!
Today, Year 2 started to explore division! We thought about what the division symbol means and about what division sentences represent – sharing equally! Then, we had a go at working out some division questions with our talk partners using counters and our steps! Grouping is much easier than we thought and we had lots of fun!
Please find the spellings attached for each spelling group (one for English group and one for RWI/Hybrid group). These will be handed out on Friday 21st March and children will be tested on Friday 28th March.
Year 2 went outside to the sunny outdoors today, engaging in a hoop challenge that required us to work together. With resilience and collaboration, they navigated the game without letting go! It was so much fun - ask us all about it!
This week, Year 2 have been exploring the vibrant world of Minnie Evans, an African American artist known for her colourful, dream-like paintings. In Topic and Art, we are learning to draw in her style by using bright colours, bold lines, and playful patterns. It is such fun to let our imaginations run wild, just like Minnie did in her work. We are learning to express our RAPS value of creativity in unique and exciting ways! Ask us all about it!

What a wonderful way to end the week with a show! Thank you to the wonderful performers of 'The Littlest Yak'.
From sharing our favourite books and characters and reading with friends to making our own bookmarks, from building our biscuit Hansel and Gretel houses to an afternoon teacher swap, from meeting Story Kween to reading outside in the sun (finally!), we have LOVED our day! Happy World Book Day, RAPS!
Take a look at this term's Love to Learn due w/b 31st March! We cannot wait to see what you do!
We are returning back to having two spellings.
Spelling sheet 1 is for those who have successfully finished the RWI program and are in Team Amin-Barnes English group.
Spelling sheet 2 is for those who are still on the RWI program and are in Team Morris for RWI.
What a superb morning meeting a Year 2 friend's Dad who is an.... author! We loved hearing all about David Whitehouse's journey and inspiration and about why he loves writing his own books so much! Did you know we have several budding writers in Year 2 who LOVE writing their own stories! Ask us all about it meeting David!
