Please see below important information for all new Year 2 pupils and parents in Miss Foster and Miss Duncan's classes.

Year 2 have been busy learning words and practising songs for our Virtual Christmas Nativity 2020.  Although things are different this year, we still enjoyed singing and dressing up.  We hope this brings some Christmas cheer to your home this year.

Check out our 'Play Pal' finger painting on our corridor display.

Find a play pal.  Find a space. Tell your pal what you like about them.

Year 2 shared some lovely words about their pals such as:

  • You are kind.       - You are helpful.         - You can run fast. 
  • You listen.      - You help me.      - You are funny.
  • You share toys.     - You play with me.      - You are gentle.

We have been enjoying listening to and watching stories about Percy the Park keeper in class.  Percy looks after a large park and is joined by lots of woodland animal friends in his stories.

Here's our very own 'Percy the park keeper' (Geoff) working hard to look after our school grounds.

Outdoor maths - count and collect 20 leaves for your woodland animal picture.

Check out Percy's animal friends on our window.  You will be able to see our pictures from the playground.

We pretended to be the animals from Percy's park and played hide and seek by the big oak tree.

It was lots of fun!
