Class 2b have had a fantastic first week back after the half term break! We have been working hard on multiplication in maths and the children have been using lots of practical resources and visual images to work out the answers to multiplication number sentences. In Literacy, the child have written some fantastic car adverts for the Skoda Citigo, Yeti and the Fabia. Hopefully, we will be able to post some examples onto the class page. Finally, in Project lessons, the children perfected their sales technique in the VW showroom upstairs, persuading the buyer with special features of the cars. I have heard from lots of parents that the children have been busy putting these skills into practice at home too! Keep it up 2b!
This afternoon, Class 2b have learnt how to be effective salespeople. Three members of the VW team kindly gave up their time to work with the children in our very own showroom! The children learnt how to meet and greet a customer and how to assist them in buying one of the vehicles on display in the Brooklands Farm showroom. They mastered confident handshakes and maintained a confident manner throughout each sale. The VW team were amazing, and they all commented on how much they enjoyed working with the children. We can’t thank them enough for their help!
Class 2b were lucky to visit the SEAT garage on Monday where they learnt how to sell a car. The staff in the SEAT garage were kind enough to show the children around the showroom, giving us tips on how to be the best salesperson. We learnt that you start by doing a ‘Meet and Greet’ with a customer. Then you find out what type of car they want. The fastest selling SEAT is a Leon Cupra!

Years 2-6 are currently sitting in an assembly presented by Laura and Lara, from VW.
A range of cars are currently arriving in the car park as I type.
The atmosphere in school is amazing! We are all looking forward to working together on our exciting whole school project.
All of the children are especially looking forward to working with the VW staff and welcome them to our school.
Thank you to all those who came to the Curriculum Tea on Tuesday evening.
The children had a fantastic afternoon baking cakes and preparing sandwiches for you all and we hope you enjoyed them!
Once again, thank you for your support.

In Year 2 we are learning about the heroic historical figure, Grace Darling, who rescued survivors from the shipwrecked Forfarshire in 1838. In order to understand how modern water safety has improved, we had a visitor from RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution). We learnt all about the lifeboats and the special clothing that these voluntary lifesavers have to wear. We even got to try on some life jackets ourselves!

Well done to Jack in Miss Marriott’s class for being the first person to be awarded the heart! Jack demonstrated fantastic team work when trying to solve our birthday party mystery. What a fantastic start to the year!
What a puzzling start to the day we had in Year 2! We came in this morning to discover that someone had had a birthday party in our classroom! There were party plates, party cups, birthday cups and even some left over birthday cake! We had to do some detective work out whose party it was. Some of the clues were: a giant bow tie and a bar of Wonka chocolate, a snozcumber, a yellow handkerchief and a dream jar, a large saucepan and empty medicine bottles…And a pile of books! Can you guess who was at the mystery party? And more importantly, whose party it was? Come and find out from us whether you guessed correctly!
The Year 2s have had their first Boxercise session with James Ayres. What a great way to re-energise after a busy few days! They loved it and can’t wait for their next session!
