Find my treasure!!!!!


In RE we have been continuing on our theme of kindness. We have been learning no matter how small or large animals are, they are all important to God/ Allah and need to be cared for.

In Forest School we have been doing something very special- we used the fire pit to create molten metal coins which we then decorated with wool and used conkers to hang on them. We learnt how we had to be careful when doing this as it is very hot.








This week has been very much about our Pirates theme and we have been making Pirate hats in art to  make us look like proper Pirates for our party on Monday!

We have been amazed by the Pirate ships we have got on display thanks to Year 2's amazing ship making skills!











Don't forget your pirate clothes for the party on Monday!

We have our Eco-Committee elections on Thursday of this coming week. Moss, one of last year's members delivered a fantastic speech about the work of an Eco-Committee member of this morning to Year 2.
If your child would like to put themselves forward, they need to draw up a manifesto over the weekend (on paper please) and bring it into school on Monday. The position would involve an after school club on a Wednesday and would be able to be included as km.s for their Copthill Challenge Scheme.

Have a great weekend!

Our Pirate adventure continues...

We have had another fun filled week in Year 2!

We started off with some PSHE, looking at giving and receiving compliments and being kind and helpful. The children made their own compliment envelopes which have been stuck on their desk so they can put a compliment in there at any time.

In Forest School we have been making some natural pirate snacks which included us cutting our blackberries and apples up ourselves and making fruit winders with the mixture! How creative Year 2!












We have also been very busy getting ready for our pirate party with Year 1. This is on Monday 14th October and your child is more than welcome to bring Pirate clothes to get changed into. There have been some amazing flags and invitations made!















As you are aware, maths homework this term is focusing on number bonds and the 2.5 and 10 times tables. Here are some links that might be of use to you.

Enjoy dancing along with these times tables songs ...!
