Reception
In Reception this week, we have enjoyed learning about
Chinese New Year!
Much of our learning has been based around the Chinese
Zodiac story in which 12 animals race to get across the river in order to
impress the emperor. We found out that some of us were born in the year
of the pig (2007) and others were born in the year of the rat (2008). We
have been making dragon puppets, Chinese lanterns, lucky money envelopes and
willow pattern plates. We have also been able to try Chinese food such
as, noodles, rice, prawn crackers and mangos.
Rosie (RF) “I liked drawing a willow pattern plate.”
Harry (RB) “I liked tasting noodles.”
Olivia (RN) “I made a Chinese dragon puppet.”
Amy (RW) “We have been learning about dragon dancing.”
Happy half term everyone!!

Hello everybody,
Another busy week in 1B. We have had so much fun: finding out about
Chinese New Year, investigating why we have Pancake Day, weighing and
comparing, making pancakes and writing out our instructions. I was so proud of
what the children achieved with their writing. They all did so well.
Here are some of the activities that the children enjoyed in
particular:
Daniel- I really enjoyed making the Chinese dragons because I liked
sticking the bits together.
Macy- Making Chinese dragons was fun because I liked colouring the
face in.
Camren- Going in library is interesting because I like reading the
books.
Ashleigh- Cooking the pancakes was fun because I enjoyed eating
them
Joseph- The library is a good place to go because I like looking at
different books and pictures.
Martha- Dancing to the 3 little Pigs song in PE was good because I
like dancing.
Tina- I liked printing at Music Club for the Lion King because I
like painting stuff.
Bailey- I like doing spelling because it helps me to learn.
Thanks for all of your contributions children
Keep yourself safe and have a great half term holiday.

Hello Again Everyone!
We can not believe that we are getting closer and closer to the end
of Year 2…halfway through already….time flies when you’re having fun!!
Here is what the children have said they enjoyed this week
Noah said ‘I liked using the computer and learning new skills on
Power Point. I learnt how to insert sounds and make my Power Point have
transitions!’
Ezio said ‘I liked the same as Noah really but I also loved doing
my writing assessment. Mrs Collison said I am nearly a level 3 but I need to
remember capital letters after full stops! ’
Wishing you all a safe and happy half term break.
Look forward to seeing you soon
The Year 2 team.

Half term is upon us and as always we have had a busy week. In
maths we have been working on fractions and decimals, it has been tricky, but
we now can work with them much better. In English we have worked on specific
characters from ‘The Demon Headmaster’ and have written an extended piece on Dinah
Glass. In ICT we reinforced our understanding of temperature by working on
Education city. We did our last science experiment looking at thermal
conductors and insulators. Our focus of schools this week took us to Australia
