Sports Day

Sports Day – Thursday 1st July

Children will need PE kits and if the weather gets as warm as today, a sunhat/cap and sun cream on. Please try to apply sun cream before school.

Please ensure they have their water bottles.

Unfortunately, it has had to be a parent free event again but I will put some photographs on the class page.

The children are really looking forward to it and I’m sure they will have a great afternoon.

Many thanks

Happy Birthday!

Class 2 would like to wish Millie and Poppy a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

We hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy your birthday celebrations.

Updated Words Sheet

Please have a look in your child’s reading record for their updated ‘Common Exception Words’ list. This is a list of words that the children ideally should be able to read and spell by the end of their year.
If they could keep reading over the words they can’t yet read at home too, that will be helpful.

Many thanks.

Plants We Can Eat

As part of our work on ‘Plants’, Class 2 have been thinking about the different parts of a plant that we can eat. The root, stem, leaf, seed, flower and fruit. The children tasted 10 different examples.

Happy Birthday!

Class 2 would like to wish Joshua a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY for the 24th and also Penny for the 26th.

We hope you both enjoy your birthday!

Watches

Please could I ask that children do not bring watches into school.

Although it is great that they have watches, they have become a distraction in class, this week. They are being taken on and off and some have been given to friends to wear. I wouldn’t want them to get broken or go missing.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

Welcome back to the Summer Term!

Welcome back Class 2!

I hope you and your families have had a lovely Easter break and enjoyed being able to do more during the second week. We have had some welcome sunshine so hope you have enjoyed being outdoors.

Please find below our Summer Term Curriculum Overview.

Summer Term Overview

Please continue to use our class email address to get in touch if you should have any questions or messages regarding your child. class2@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk

Many thanks

Happy Birthday Ari!

I hope you all have an enjoyable Easter weekend.

Happy birthday Alfie!

Class 2 would like to wish Alfie a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

We hope you enjoy your day and have a great time celebrating with your family.

Reminders for returning to school

Please see below a few reminders for when the children return to school next week.

PE Kits

Monday 8th March – School uniform

Friday 12th March – PE kit

From Week beginning: 15.3.21 – PE Kit on a Monday and Friday each week.

PE kit – Green PE top and black shorts/leggings. Dark coloured, plain tracksuit. (Please no bright colours or sparkles!)

Water bottles

Please can the children bring a plastic water bottle with a non spill spout. Not the large, metal camping water bottles where the lid comes off completely.

Water bottles will be refilled by an adult during the day so don’t worry if it’s a fairly small water bottle.

Reading books

Please can the children bring their reading book and reading record to school on Monday. We will be reading with all the children in the first couple of days to see where they are up to with their reading books.

Bags

Please ensure that the children are just bringing one school bag to school. Lunch boxes can be separate if they will not fit into bags. There is very little space under tables to house them.

Coats

Until the weather is reliably fine, please can the children bring a coat, with a hood, to school every day. They will be going outside at break times whatever the weather and don’t want to get wet.

Toys and Trinkets

We are trying to minimise the number of items going to and from home and school so please can the children leave small toys at home.

Many thanks. Please get in touch if you have any questions about anything.

 

 

Paddington, Winnie the Pooh & Cake

There have been some very nice story maps of Paddington and Winnie the Pooh on their London adventure.

Archie has been reading his Grandma’s Winnie the Pooh book.

Sam, Zac and Joel have made a sticky marmalade loaf.

It looks scrumptious, well done boys!

 

Here is Penny’s marmalade loaf. Paddington and his little friends had already eaten half of it before Penny’s mum could take a photograph.

It must be good!

Image preview

Isabelle has also made a sticky marmalade loaf and it looks delicious!

Well done everyone!

World Book Day – Activities

Here are some activities you can do to celebrate your favourites books and stories:

  • Dress up as your favourite book character
  • Have a go at our quiz (see link below)
  • Take a look at the World Book Day website: http://www.worldbookday.com
  • Share a story with a member of your family

Send in pictures or videos to the class email addresses, we would love to see them!

WBD – Quiz

 

It’s World Book Day!

Today is World Book Day, a day when children (and adults) all over the world celebrate books and reading. (I’ll let you into a secret….I believe everyday is World Book Day!)

I’ve been doing some research about reading….

Did you know?

  • If you read for 20 minutes a day you will have read 1,800,000 words in one year!
  • You will learn between 4,000 and 12,000 words in one year just by reading!
  • Regular reading improves brain connectivity, reduces stress, aids sleep, helps increase self confidence and reduces feelings of loneliness.
  • Reading can take you all over the world….in your imagination!
  • Regular reading improves your concentration and helps your understanding of different cultures and customs.

You don’t just have to read books. You can read ANYTHING – Leaflets, newspapers, magazines, cereal packets, comics, labels on jars/tins, road signs, cookery books, poems, jokes, instructions, labels on the supermarket shelves, bottles of bubble bath, anything with words!!

You can also read ANYWHERE – at bedtime, in the bath, listen to stories in the car, read in the garden, read on the beach, read in the car, read in a tractor, read up a tree…..

So, today (and everyday) enjoy a story. Listen to a story or read to yourself. How does it make you feel?

 

Home Learning – Thursday 4th March

Good morning Class 2,

Today is World Book Day so you have lots of different activities to choose from.

If you do something to celebrate the day, whether it’s dressing up as a character or showing us your favourite book, please send a photograph to me and I will pass it onto Miss Greenan to go on the school website.
