Another busy week at home…
Another week has passed by. Well done to everyone for continuing with your home learning as much as you can.
This week, we have been scientists, spellers, artists, designers, photographers, poets, clock watchers and much much more.
Enjoy the weekend and stay safe!
The scores are in!
Last week, the Year 2 adults were set a challenge to try and identify members of the class based on their baby photos. We have thoroughly enjoyed looking through the photos and trying to match them up – some being easier than others! All the staff would like to say a big thank you for giving us this challenge. It was great fun and it definitely made us smile.
As requested, here are the scores and, with no cheating, the winner is…
Mrs Maqbool who felt very proud to get them all right and get 22 points!
In second place was Mrs Bharath with 20 points.
In joint third place was Mrs Freeman and Mrs Taylor both with 18 points.
Thank you to all the families who took part in this challenge.
Home learning
What great expressive reading of the recent fluency text!
Using Oxford Owl online is a great way to read a variety of texts.
Another creative design of the Eiffel Tower and a visit to see the real thing!
Wow – this model must taken some time and patience.
I also managed to find a photo from visiting Paris 15 years ago!
We loved this junk modelling – combining design technology, science and money education!
More creative junk modelling
Great money education and homophone spelling learning.
Science – experiments and trees
Keeping calm with some yoga
Possible Junior Bake Off contestant here having made their sisters’ birthday cake. Yummy!

We’ve had some more Lexia success with Sunny, Hafsa, Theo and Zhuokai achieving their next level. Great work – keep it up!
Lexia is a great online resource to support your child’s reading.

Bonjour all the way from France
Year 2 have been learning about France and Europe.
In Paris, the capital city of France, there is a very famous landmark called the Eiffel Tower. 
After finding out lots of facts about the Eiffel Tower, the children created their own.
Special delivery
Today, we received a special delivery for the Year 2 staff and we are all excited to take up our challenge! Thank you!
Home learning at school
Some of our class are completing their home learning at school at the moment.
Look at these great drawings of the Eiffel Tower.
Learning a new skill of touch typing…
A picture paints a thousand words.
Year 2 are currently learning how to spell there, their and they’re.
Today, one of the children sent in a picture using one of these spellings. It made me stop and think just how proud we are of all our children.
One picture can paint a thousand words!
Lexia stars
Well done to Ehtasham, Hafsa and Betsy who have reached their next level in Lexia.

Dem bones, dem bones ……….
This week, Year 2 have been enjoying some scary learning based on extracts from The Funnybones books.
When they had completed their reading task, the children were asked to get creative and make skeletons using materials they could find around the house.
Here are some homemade Funnybones characters.
Another great week of home learning!
