Here are this week’s spellings. There will be a spelling test on Friday 14 February 2014.
Don’t forget, there will be no spellings sent home over the half term holiday but you can still be looking at words and spellings while you are out and about!
Congratulations!
Congratulations to Evie and Poppy who were elected as the school councillors for Reception Class.
Well done to all the other candidates as well. We were really impressed with how confidently and clearly everyone spoke.

Our spellings this week investigate how words change when er and est are added. In the list, all the words are adjectives – they describe nouns.
Notice how you drop the y for an i when changing the root word to er or est.
| tasty | tastier | tastiest |
| happy | happier | happiest |
| funny | funnier | funniest |
| crazy | crazier | craziest |
| lucky | luckier | luckiest |
| grumpy | grumpier | grumpiest |
“Run, run, as fast as you can!”
Having spent three weeks learning, acting out and writing about the Gingerbread Man, Year 2 decided to try and make our own. But did it come to life?
In groups, we seived, beat, stirred and kneaded until we had a rich, brown dough that smelt delicious! We then cut out our Gingerbread shapes and popped them into the oven – just like Granny!
The staff in the office were teased by the tempting scents that wafted in their direction and, with mouths watering, we took out our perfectly cooked Gingerbread. Don’t worry! It wasn’t running!
Here are our decorations.

This week’s homework is creative so get those juices flowing!
I can find out about a hero from the past.
Before we all disappear for half term, we’ll learn about two real life heroes from the past. We’ll step into the life of Grace Darling, a young woman who saved 9 people after their ship crashed off the Northumbrian coast, and learn about Rosa Parks, who refused to give her seat up for a white person on a bus in Alabama, 1955.
We want to know what real life heroes in history you can find out about. Choose one and present everything you find out about them in the most creative way you can think of. Here are some ideas:
- Write an autobiography as though you are that person.
- Create an information leaflet on their life and what they did.
- Draw a story board of their life and what they did.
- Create a quiz and answer booklet to challenge your friends.

We have ten chicks! Most are now in the brooder box. Feel free to pop in after school next week to have a look at them!

Hatched!

Chick number two is almost ready!

Miss Valentine arrived at school early this morning to find that we had our first chick! The chick has been very patient waiting for the other chicks to hatch. Unfortunately, they’re still not quite ready so it’s still waiting!
More updates will follow!
