Dynamic Dancers
Look out for Year 1 in the future as they are certainly “dynamic dancers“. On Tuesday, we all went down to Allerton Grange to work with some Year 10 pupils. There was an hour long workshop where we learnt different moves and had lots of fun putting together a dance sequence. Thanks to all the Year 10 pupils and to the adults who worked with us.

Apologies: this week’s homework has not been sent home.
Your child will get their Practice Makes Perfect worksheet on Monday and we will collect it in on Thursday.
A very unique zoo
Year 4 were able to meet some fantastic animals – some that they may never see or touch again!
We were able to hold a corn snake.
Nayana fed a sugar glider a live insect. Everyone was able to have a touch.
Jaspreet commented, “They were brilliant!” while Zaki stated proudly, “I saw animals that I didn’t even know!”
The Enormous Crocodile
As part of World Book Day last week, we discovered the world of Roald Dahl’s Enormous Crocodile. We hot-seated the croc, and asked him some challenging questions about his need to eat small children. He didn’t take too well to some of the questions as you can see below.
We also tried to get inside the mind of the crocodile and we expressed his thoughts as he crawled down our conscience alley.
A quick reminder…
It’s the Year 2 class assembly this Thursday (8 March) at 2.40. We hope to see you there!
Reading and Literacy
We’ve started a story unit based on Willy the Chimp. There will be lots of drama involved as a stimulus for the children’s writing. The children’s reading in Year 2 is coming on brilliantly. Remember to keep checking your child’s understanding of what they are reading. Here are some tips to help you:
- Find the word/phrase that tells me that…
- How is the character feeling on page _? How do you know?
- What is the problem in the story? How do you think it will be solved?
- Why are there words in bold/capitals/italics?
- Think of 3 adjectives to describe your favourite character in the story.
- Was there a meaning/moral to the story?
