Year 2

A new visitor in Year 2…

Leave a comment

Last week, Year 2 entered the classroom to find we had been visited over the weekend by something very strange indeed.

Upon investigation the children noticed there were some glittery footprints along with a trail of slime in the classroom and started to wonder as to who may have left that. We also spotted something that looked like a crash! Lots of wires, metal objects and screws. Very strange.

The children were asked to file a report for the police and explain what they thought had happened. We had some amazing ideas! Could it be a glitter monster? Could it be a scary, slimy alien?

Keep your eyes are ears open if you’re in the Year 2 hut!

Forest Schools, Year 2

Forest school

This week, Year 2 were lucky enough to be taken out for their first lesson in our fantastic forest school area.

Mrs Grant paid us a visit and took the children out to explore. The children were given a tricky task, The Gruffalo needed a new house! The children soon got busy thinking about all of the things that the children would need to be comfortable and safe. They all showed fantastic imagination and were able to learn new skills and use what was available to build amazing houses for The Gruffalo. One group even made him some toys to play with!

The children really enjoyed their first forest school experience and are excited that they will be able to do more when they go into KS2 next year. They were all well behaved and showed off their fantastic team building and communication skills. Well done!

Just some feedback on the extra friendship sessions that were being conducted with my children.  I have found that this is really helped them in terms of social skills, how to develop and maintain a friendship properly in school time.  The activities completed in the session hake them think about how to behave and deal with situations and more importantly think before acting!

Thanks, Mum

*******************

My child has had mentoring sessions to cover how to interact with others both at home and in school.  They have helped with behaviour at home and interactions with her younger sibling. It has helped in school as well as in the classroom she is calmer, and allows the teacher time to deal with arising situations.

1:1 sessions have helped improve our child’s overall attitude towards others especially at home.  We are thankful for the time spent talking with her and giving her techniques that seem to be helping.

Shared ‘The jigsaw charter’ with the children to reinforce how we work together.
Calm me
At the beginning of every jigsaw lesson we help our minds calm down so that we are ready to learn.
Circle time with Jigsaw Jo in a circle. Jigsaw Jo is holding s feely bag (the bag contains: pebbles, sandpaper, play doh, pine cone and a plastic dinosaur toy). Asked a child to come and feel an object and asked them to describe it e.g smooth, rough, spiky, soft etc., and asked them to say whether they like the feel or not. Then I asked a few other children to do the same and asked them how it feels to the person holding it. Made the point that we may or may not like the feel of something and it is good to be able to say what we think.

Health Week.

Leave a comment

This Week has been health week where we have been learning about different aspects of keeping ourselves healthy.

We have been discussing the importance of exercise, eating the right foods and how to keep our teeth healthy. We have been writing explanation texts and instructions for how to prevent tooth decay. We have also found out the importance our of mental well being and how to look after our mind.

On Thursday, KS1 held a parent workshop so the children and parents could find out more about these topics. There were 7 activities that the children had to complete in order to get their ‘healthy lifestyle’ award.

All the children had lots of fun learning new things and the parents were extremely supportive and helpful. Thank you to all who came!

Sports day.

Last week, Year 2 attended sports day at the @hubs.

The weather was fantastic so we had to make sure we had lots of sun cream on and drank lots of water.

There were lots of activities that the children were able to try such as football, dodgeball, netball, rounders and a blow up assault cause. The children showed themselves to be very athletic and skilled at many of the sports. They particularly shined in football where we has some World Cup worthy hat tricks along with some fantastic celebrations!

In addition, the children were very supportive of each other and showed great sportsmanship by congratulating all of the winners and taking losing gracefully. Well done Year 2!

I explained to the children that for humans, growing up takes longer than for most living things.it doesn’t only mean getting bigger, but also learning and being able to do more.
I set out the labels ‘ baby’, ‘toddler’, ‘child’, ‘teenager’, ‘adult’ and made a timeline on the floor. Out of a bag I took out items you have previously collected, gave one to each child in turn and asked them to place it next to the appropriate lable: discussed whether all agree with where it is placed. Suggested items: baby – rattle, dummy, feeding bottle; keys, credit card etc.
Talked about the timeline and that it shows the changes that ho along with getting bigger: more abilities, more freedom and independence, more responsibilities, more knowledge.

Children sat in a circle and asked them in pairs to tell each other anything they have been told about what they were like as a baby, and how they are different now compared with when they were a baby or toddler. Then we passed jigsaw Jo round the circle and asked each child to complete one of these sentence stems, taking each one in turn: ‘when I was a baby I could…; ‘ Now I am a 6/7 years old I can…; ‘When I am grown up I will be able to…;
Read the story ‘ Titch’ discussed how Titch felt about being the youngest and smallest. What happened to his tiny seed? So what happens to all living things that start out tiny?
