Over the last week, we have been thinking about our time together and all of the wonderful memories we have from our year together! Today, we are working in pairs or by ourselves to create poems using the exciting vocabulary!

Please could the children bring in a carrier bag each before Wednesday, when we will be sending home all of their wonderful learning! The Year 2 Team

 We had a wonderful sports day! Thank you for all of your support and encouragement! The children had a lovely morning!

Our DT project is to create a bookmark using a running stitch!  We have designed a bookmark and planned what we need.  Each day, we work alongside an adult to each create our own piece!  We will then be evaluating our achievement and seeing if it looks like the design!  

  As part of our mindfulness, we took part in a yoga story with Cosmic Kids.  It also helped us to cool and calm down after lunchtime! #mindfulmoments

This morning, we had a visitor from Kelvedon Library in to discuss the Summer Reading Challenge. We learnt about this years theme: The Story Garden, and looked at the characters and prizes. We also had a look at the variety of books Essex Libraries have to offer if you have a free library card.  The children will receive a card with information but more information is available at summerreadingchallenge.org.uk and https://libraries.essex.gov.uk/news/summer-reading-challenge

 Today we got to share our 'fear of the dark' stories with the children in Year 1! We had 'published' our stories and also designed a front cover.  We are incredibly proud of our extended writing! We used exciting adjectives, adverbs, correct punctuation, conjunctions and lots more!

  Today during assembly, we welcomed a visitor from Essex Fire & Rescue Service, who talked about the importance of water safety, particularly during the warmer weather. Children from across the school were taught how to float if they got into trouble in the water, which they demonstrated very well.  Below are a number of other safety tips that were shared with us today.
