We began the week by visiting nursery to see their chicks. Mrs Suddall talked to the children about why the chicks needed a light bulb in their crate and how we can tell which are male and female. The children enjoyed looking at the chicks and reinforcing their learning about the basic needs of animals.
The children have enjoyed showing their creative side this week working on their DT (Design and Technology) project. They have been looking at lunchboxes and thinking about what features they need to make them good at the job they need to do. The children have designed their own lunchboxes and this week have made them. I was very impressed with their skills and also how well they worked with and supported each other. Next week we will be testing our lunchboxes (more pictures to follow).
Our Leeds Rhino Dance Coach worked with the children on a Christopher Columbus themed routine this week. The moves included a 'Crows Nest' and sailing on all three of his ships. The children are really enjoying these sessions.
I cannot believe next week is the last week before our final half term of the year.
Have a wonderful weekend.

I enjoyed listening to the different ways that the children celebrated the King's Coronation weekend. They all seemed to have enjoyed their extra long weekend.
This week we have had a big focus on reading. The children have completed some statutory reading assessments and have all tired really hard. Well done to them all!
In maths we are continuing to recap on a variety of topics. We have been recapping on telling the time in 15 minute intervals. Most of the children do find this quite tricky especially as they so rarely see analogue clocks. Any work at home working on time on O'clock, Half Past, Quarter Past and a Quarter to the hour would be much appreciated.
We have still been using the story of 'The Pirates Next Door' to inspire our writing. We have been focusing on writing detailed and grammatically correct sentences.
The children have taken part in lots of physical activity this week. They have had the dance coach from Leeds Rhinos, the rugby coach from Leeds Rhinos and have been running a mini-marathon round the school grounds.
Enjoy your weekend.

A short but very busy week!
We have continued our work on our topic 'Message in a Bottle'. We have been learning about the Oceans of the World. We have used maps and atlases to see where they are and which countries and continents they separate.
In English we have continued to use our story about the Jolley Rodgers Pirate family. The children have been writing sentences about them using all our Year 2 conjunctions. Next week we will continue to work on our recount of an imaginary day with Jim Lad at Rufford Park School.
In Maths we have been recapping on number bonds to 100, reading scales, counting coins and solving a range of arithmetic number sentences.
Today we prepared for the King's Coronation on Saturday completing some 'Coronation' themed activities.
Enjoy yet another, long weekend and any Coronation Celebrations you may be planning to have.
See you Tuesday!
