Happy New Year!
The children have had a fantastic first week back at school; I have been very impressed with how much they have remembered from before the holidays and how sensibly they have returned to school.
Year 2 have looked at subtracting a two-digit number from a two-digit number using exchanging whilst Year 1 have recapped how to use the part whole model to add and subtract. We have also started looking at our new classroom text "Cinderella" and the children enjoyed writing sentences using key vocabulary from the story.
In PE we have begun a gymnastics unit and have learnt some new balances and rolls. We have also spoken about seasonal changes in science and we created a pictograph to show how the days are shorter in the winter months compared to the summer months.
We are still going to be doing PE on a Thursday but our Wednesday PE lesson has changed to Monday. Our PE days for this term are now Monday and Thursday.
Have a wonderful weekend and hopefully the weather will be a bit warmer next week!

The highlight of the week has undoubtedly been the performances of 'Prickly Hay'! The children worked exceptionally hard to put on such a fabulous performance and should be very proud of themselves.
Year 2 have continued learning how to subtract a single digit number from a two-digit number whilst Year 1 have continued learning about place value within 20.
We have also written a recount from the point of view of the Emperor of Absurdia.
All the children enjoyed Christmas Jumper Day and Christmas Dinner Day on Friday.
Have a wonderful weekend and see you again on Monday!

Our rehearsals for the Christmas play are well underway and we cannot wait to perform 'Prickly Hay' for you next week! The children have all worked so hard learning lines, dances and songs and should be very proud of themselves.
Elsewhere in the curriculum Year 1 have learnt how to represent teen numbers and count to 20. Year 2 have learnt how to subtract from multiples of 10. In English we have recapped how to change verbs into the past tense by adding the 'ed' suffix. We have also sequenced the story of 'The Emperor of Absurdia' in preparation to write a recount next week.
Year 2 have also learnt how to spell words ending in 'ies' and Year 1 have recapped how to read and spell o-e and u-e words in phonics.
Have a lovely weekend and see you again on Monday.

This week has flown by.
In English we have written a description of the Wardrobe Monster from "The Emperor of Absurdia". I was amazed with the quality of writing - so many children included a variety of conjunctions and expanded noun phrases and even some similes!
In science we continued to explore materials by looking at which objects float, and which sink. We completed an investigation as a class by testing a variety of objects in a tray of water which the children found fascinating.
We have finished our art unit of 'Colour Chaos' by learning about artists Paul Klee and Jackson Pollock. We explored how to make colours lighter by adding white. We then worked as a class to create a huge piece of art using drip painting.
Practicing for the Christmas Play is underway and we look forward to performing ‘Prickly Hay’ in just over a week.
Have a lovely weekend and see you again on Monday,
Miss Atkinson
