Happy New Year and welcome back.
Keep an eye out on the blog to find out more about the children's learning in school! We have a short, but busy and exciting Term 3.
Also, a friendly reminder that Year 2 are off to the library on Tuesday 14th January. If you are able to join as a helper, that would be much appreciated - please speak to a member of the team.
Thank you!
Year 2 team :)
What a busy week we have had in Year 2 with a Christmas showcase, party games, a trip to the Grotto, Christmas lunch and the final day of school in 2024!
Wishing all of our Year 2 families a very Merry Christmas! Thank you for your continued support over these past 2 terms with trips, shows and Christmas fun! Enjoy the break and we will see you in the new year!
What a fun afternoon Year 2 has had after their amazing show playing games, dancing and eating some wonderful party food! Thank you, parents and carers, for your continued support!
This term, we are exploring Christianity and… Christmas! Last week, we shared our existing knowledge of Christmas with our talk partners, discussing what we had learnt previously in Year 1 before exploring the story of the Nativity and symbols throughout it! Then, we orally retold the story before collaborating with each other to re-enact key sections of the story. We absolutely loved performing the story chronologically with our peers. Well done, Year 2.
Come and join us at the RAPS Carol Concert next Wednesday 11th December from 3:45pm-4:15pm! All welcome.
We have started a new book in our Hybrid English/RWI group! We absolutely love 'Meerkat Mail' and cannot wait to write fact files about Meerkats very soon!
Christmas play season! We have been working so incredibly hard and am so excited to share it with you all on Wednesday 18th December.
Spellings this week will be handed out on Friday 6th December and will be due back Friday 13th December. Spelling sheets can be traded in for house points on Friday (or any other way you have practised your spellings).
On Monday in Year 2, we explored the song ‘This is the way we brush our teeth’, and started to collaborate with our partners to write our own verses for it! Ask us all about it, we had so much fun!
Christmas has arrived at RAPS. On Mindfulness Monday, we had the chance to decorate a Christmas tree together with some of our friends in Team Amin-Barnes! Come and have a look, it looks beautiful! Key dates for the Christmas period can be found on the Year 2 classroom windows and the newsletter.
We went on a hunt today to find treasure using a map of the Key Stage 1 corridor! It was lots of fun! Ask us all about it!
Please find attached this week's spellings! They will go out this Friday and will be due back Friday 29th November.
