Dear Parents/Carers,
Please find attached a letter explaining our PSHE focus for next half-term (Summer 2). I have also attached an overview of the lessons and their content for your information. Please have a look at these and if you have any queries, please let me know.
Kind regards,
Miss Jackson
Any questions, please let me know 🙂

What a day! The children have loved celebrating the new King-to-be. We have enjoyed a variety of different activities, ate lunch on the field as a school in the sun (we're lucky that we missed all that rain) and even had a tasty, surprise visit from the ice-cream man. The day has been jam-packed and so rest-well over the long weekend.
Today, Base 1 were very lucky as we were visited by Val who kindly spent some time with Year 1 and Year 2 to talk to us about her experience of seaside holidays when she was a little girl. In preparation, the children came up with some interesting questions to ask Val about her special memories. We learnt that instead of swimming costumes we wear today, Val wore different clothes which were heavier than swimming costumes. We also found out that out that summer hats and caps were not invented back then and so people were creative and wore linen cloths on top of their heads in order to not get sun burnt.
Furthermore, we found out that there were some similarities of seaside holidays back then and today. Fish and chips, ice cream and sweets have always been traditional types of food eaten at the seaside as well as donkey rides.
Take a look at some of the photos we took when we met Val.
REMINDER: Please ensure your child has their full forest schools kit for this term as we will be going outdoors every Friday afternoon regardless of the weather!
Welcome back! I hope you all had a super Easter break and managed to relax with family and friends. This new term we have a lot of new and exciting topics for the children to learn and we are all very much looking forward to warmer weather as the weeks progress.
Please remember to keep reminding your child to practice their weekly spellings in preparation for our Monday spelling tests. Physical spelling sheets are provided every Monday for your child to take home and learn, ready for the following Monday. There are also the termly overviews of the spellings in the back of your child's Reading Roots Record Book.
This first week back, the children will receive a new homework sheet (History) for this half-term. Please complete at least three different activities to bring into show and tell afternoons (Monday) to share with the rest of the class - if your child is feeling extra creative they are more than welcome to complete more than three activities. The more the merrier.
Please continue to keep an eye out on Doodle Maths as assignments are regularly added and using the website often is great practice for keeping learning fresh, especially in preparation for the upcoming Year 2 SATs in May.
As part of out Year 2 SATs prep, the children will be provided with some extra worksheets (additional if requested) to help support their learning and ensure they feel a little more confident within their areas of learning.
Below you shall find attached all the key documents for this half-term.
Another term has come to an end and all the children have deserved a long Easter break after their hard work and effort over this Spring half-term. I hope you all have a wonderful time off and I look forward to seeing the children back for Summer 1 refreshed and rested.
A few last reminders: please continue to look over the Year 2 Common Exception words and your child's interim report targets, as well as the weekly spellings in preparation for their test on Monday 17.04.23. I shall also be setting some Doodle Maths assignments in case you have some free time on your hands.
Enjoy Easter egg hunting!
Following science week, base 1 used their creative skills to produce their own catapults in order to enter them into a competition. The children did an amazing job. Well done!
Hello,
We are excited to announce that our next history topic is 'Seaside Holidays'. We are going to be looking at seaside holidays today and in the past. This includes Victorian seaside holidays and holidays from the 1950s/1960s. We would love to have photos of your child at the seaside if you have them and also if you do have any historical artefacts (souvenirs etc) and photos, that would be great! Please send these in named and in a labelled envelope in the new term. We will photocopy these and display them in the classroom.
Thanks,
Mrs Jones
It's Science Week and today we had a special visitor come in to talk us about her job and how we can take care of others in case of an emergency. Take a look at us practising how to put someone into the recovery position.
Well done Year 2 for taking part in World Book Day 2023. We have really enjoyed celebrating the magic of books this week and dressing up as different characters.
Science week will be upon us in the next half-term - more details to follow about activities that we will do and a blog with visitors and pictures from our science week will follow...!
I just wanted to share with you details of the science week competition. All the information can be found on the pdf attachment. It would be great to have some owl entries. Posters must be in by Friday 24th March. This is a home activity if children wish to participate.
We also have a sci-tech competition where we do in school heats - we will let you know a little more about this after the holidays and will launch this in an assembly with the children to get them excited.

Have a look at our enjoyable visit to Keyworth Library! We loved reading a variety of different books, using our library cards to take a book home with us and we even earned how to use our library cards to reserve a book from another library - thank you to all parent volunteers for keeping us safe!
