We have had a lovely last day of term today - we spent some of our morning solving the 'Mystery of the minibeasts' using our phonics and spelling skills - someone had stolen all the flowers from the garden and we had to solve each clue to work out which minibeast was the culprit!

To finish our work on the book '10 things we can do to help our planet' we thought about what we valued the most in our natural world and drew some of the things we thought we should try to save.

We then read the poem 'Treasures' by Clare Bevan and wrote our own poem in this style - some BRILLIANT work!

Lots of people tried hard to walk to school this week - we had more than half of the class walking every day which is great! We have agreed that it would be good to try and walk more often if we can - even if it is only part of the way if we live a little further from school.

Finally, we decided to help the birds over the half term as we know that lots of baby chicks are hatching and the mummy and daddy birds are busy feeding at this time of year.

We made two types of bird feeders - suet cakes (which all the children have taken home) and also some that used golden syrup and bird seed on cardboard tubes - we have hung these up in the trees and bushes in the school field so hopefully the birds will enjoy these over the coming days.

In the GOLDEN BOOK this week were Lydia for making such fantastic progress with her writing over the past term (her Treasures poem is posted above!) and the whole of Year 2 for working so hard over the last few weeks and tackling all of the tricky challenges (and some fun ones!) I have given them. I am very proud of all of you!


We sadly said 'goodbye' to Lucian today who is moving to another school, we wish him lots of luck in his new house and hope he soon settles in to his new class too.




Home Learning

This half term I would really like you to enjoy spending time with your family and friends. 

So, for your home learning I would like you to write about something that you enjoyed doing over the half term – whether it was going out for a special day or just spending some time having fun at home. You can include photos or draw a picture too if you would like!


Please also practice your spelling words from this half-term and read your reading book(s).



I have set up a ‘battle’ on TimesTables Rockstars between Year 1 and 2 that runs from 4pm on Friday 24th May to 8pm Sunday 2nd June – extra housepoints will be given to anyone who participates and there will be a special reward for the winning year group!
