It has been such a wonderful term getting to know your children and watching them settle into their year two classrooms and routines. We have lots of tired faces ready for that much needed break but we are really proud of the progress they have made already. We ended our term with a fun packed week, concluding our topic ‘Where we live’.

In English this week, the children wrote their independent stories based on ‘A Lion in Paris’. They’ve worked all term building up to this moment and have taken such pride in their own writes. The children are working primarily on building coherent sentences and applying capital letters and full stops.

During History, the children recapped homes in the past and made a poster of what they could remember. We had outside toilets, bath tubs being filled with jugs, no electricity, no central heating, no electric irons. It would great to see how much the children could recall and see how they felt about the conditions back then compared to the comforts we have now.

In PSHE the children looked at gender stereotypes and job roles. We discussed how men and women can be what ever they want to be when they grow up, whether that’s doctors, firefighters, teachers, nurses or builders. The children were able to think of what they would like to be when they grow up and enjoyed discussing this with their friends.

Lots of exciting challenges around the classroom this week that the children have got stuck into. They have had opportunities to play dreidel, linking back to our RE learning of Hanukkah, practical spelling games, fact family math challenges and house puzzles of a variety of different style houses.

We hope everyone has a very much deserved rest over the half term and we can’t wait to welcome to children back to Autumn term two.

Have a fab one!
