***update. In light of adverse weather conditions, please see the email from Mrs Smith regarding remote learning sent on 17.02.22*** Please stay safe today (Friday).

It’s the end of another week and another half term. Can you believe we’re halfway through year 2?

Thank you for spending your time with us this week during our parent consultation appointments. If you’ve not been able to make it, please speak with one of us by the gate in the morning or afterschool.

In art we have finished our amazing works of symmetry using water colours and oil pastels. Can you tell which side is the photograph and which side is our art work? 

A few months ago, we ‘planted’ our hyacinth bulbs. They’ve started flowering now and produce such an amazing smell. Some of the children thought they smelt similar to soaps or lavender; others thought they were reminded of sweets! 

It has been a windy few days so PE with Mr Senior was spent in the large hall practising some throwing, ducking and moving techniques!

We’ve continued thinking about mass and weight in class. If possible, it would be great if you could follow a recipe together that involves weighing out some ingredients at home. If you have access to a device, you could use this interactive scale: https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/87/itp-measuring-scales 

In class we set the scales to 1000 (grams) with intervals of 10.

During wet playtimes we have enjoyed using Google Quick Draw on the whiteboard: https://quickdraw.withgoogle.com/

Over half term, we hope you have a wonderful week and a chance to rest after a very busy January and February.
