The children have had a busy and fun packed week!
On Monday we had our Screen Time Challenge Reward. The children enjoyed an afternoon of art and crafts. They enjoyed using watercolours, crayons, felt-tips, card and other resources to make their creations. They have also made some delicious African biscuits with Mrs Darley and Mrs Bellwood. The should all have taken these home yesterday. They have all been given a copy of the recipe if they want to try to make them again at home.
On Tuesday Mr Ranton came to work with the class using the school's new ipads. The children enjoyed using Scratch to make their own moving sequence. I was very impressed with their skill at using the program.
On Wednesday we had our Sports Day. We had a great time and the children showed great sportsmanship. Amber were the winners of the Key Stage 1 Sports Day. Well done to that team! Well done to everyone!
On Thursday we enjoyed our Open the Book assembly. This might be the last one as Year 2 will be moving on to Key Stage 2.
On Friday we finished the week with a non-uniform day. Well done to all those who contributed something yellow for the raffle.
We have more fun things planned for next week including a walk to the Town Hall to watch the dress rehearsal of Emil and the Detectives. The children should all have brought a letter home about this visit.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the sunshine.

The weeks are flying by so quickly towards the end of the school year.
The weather has been very unpredictable this week which meant that Sports Day was postponed. This did give the children some extra time to work on their races. They are all looking forward to next Wednesday.
In English we have been writing our own version of the story 'Lila and the Secret of Rain'. The children have written some amazing stories some of which have been shared with the whole class.
In maths we have been recapping on money and solving problems involving all 4 operations. We have also continued to work on our times tables. The children are working really hard on these and I am sure we will have more certificates and badges to give out before the end of the year.
This week the children have continued to enjoy playing the African Drums. These will be in school until the end of the term for them to play.
Remember the children's homework projects will need to be completed by Wednesday 13th July. They can start to bring them in from Monday 11th July (please do not send them in before this date). More information will follow about when we will be displaying them for you to view.
Have a wonderful weekend. Let's hope the sun comes out again!

Cherry Tree Class have had a fun packed week!
It started on Monday when we did some collecting of nature for our 'Out for a Walk' art work. The children used petals, flowers and leaves to create their masterpieces. We also collected sticks to use as frames for our work. The end pieces were amazing and all looked so different. We had some bits left so the children all made a bookmark too.
On Tuesday we had an African Drumming Workshop. The children all had a go at playing the drums. Joseph (from Art Forms) taught them about pulse and rhythm. The played and sang some traditional African songs.
In English we have continued with our work using the story 'Lila and the Secret of Rain'. The children have written recounts as Lila, created story maps and used them to orally retell the story. We have also started to plan our own version of the story which we will be writing next week.
In maths we have been continuing to work on division and multiplication word problems. We have also been doing some investigation maths. The children had to use numicon and numbers to make certain amounts to complete the challenges.
Another exciting week next week with Sports Day to look forward to.
Have a great weekend.
