Year 2 worked together to build English countryside and African countryside scenes and English city and African city scenes. We noticed the differences and similarities. Can you think of any things that are similar and things that may be different?

Year 2 enjoyed a lovely day at Whipsnade Zoo this week. We loved all the different animals and explored the different habits in our workshop session. It was amazing to stroke and see lion, zebra, bear and racoon skins. We even stroked a brown rat called Atti.

We have been using mirrors to find and count lines of symmetry. Help us at home to spot symmetrical things/objects. 

This term we have been starting the week by taking part in dance PE lessons on a Monday morning led by our dance coach Sarah. It has been lots of fun. 

We will be posting monthly recommended reads for you to enjoy.

The Books Trust website has some lovely Spring themed books. https://www.booktrust.org.uk/booklists/s/spring-explorer/

Please share your thoughts on our suggestions!

Key Stage one children were delighted to have an hour with Steve Anthony on Tuesday. He wowed us with his great illustrations. We have some of his books in school for the children to enjoy. 

We had a fantastic day celebrating World Book Day. Special thanks to parents for their massive effort creating costumes. The children were so enthusiastic and enjoyed our story swap; they could choose which story they wanted to hear and went to listen with other children from across the…

We had so many great entries for the Christmas Book Fair Competition. Congratulations to all winners. Entries can be enjoyed in the school library.

All books are 20p - come and buy some pre-loved books. After school they will be on the front playground with an honesty box. Children will also have opportunities during the last days of term to come and choose during the school day.

A huge thank you is needed for Mrs Crossland and friends who have transformed our school library into a tidy, welcoming place. We are looking forward to welcoming everyone in September to get our great books being used,borrowed and loved!
