What have Y1/2 been up to?
Week 2
We have had another fabulous week in Year 1/2. It has been brilliant seeing the children settle into our daily routines and complete their first full week back at school. We had lots of fun during our first PE lesson on Monday. We learnt about attacking and defending within team sports. Then, we played some games to encourage us to use space when passing a ball. During our first Jigsaw lesson, we met 'Jigsaw Jo' who will be with us for all of our PSHE lessons this year. Jigsaw Jo talked to us about some of the worries she had about joining a new class. We came up with strategies to help Jo manage her worries and discussed who she could go to for help and support.
Week 1
Welcome back to school! :)
We hope you have had a fabulous summer and are ready to get back into the routine of school. We have been very excited to welcome the Year 1s and Year 2s back this week and it has been a great few days! We have spent some time getting to know each other, explored the provision areas and had lots of fun in our music lessons where we have been thinking about what animals a piece of music reminds us of. We have been practicing our call and response with the teacher using clapping, words, sounds and instruments. In Year 2 the children have been introduced to their new text for writing, 'The Day the Crayons Quit' where we have been looking at how the crayons were feeling, why they felt this way and we have written some super sentences them! In maths we have been learning all about place value of 2-digit numbers, using the equipment to practically partition the tens and the ones. It's been so lovely to see so many smiling faces this week and we can't wait to see everyone again on Monday! We will be teaching PE on Monday so please make sure you send your child to school wearing their PE kit :)
