After our assessments meeting at the end of last term one of the tools requested by parents was a list of verbal comprehension question to use when you are reading with your children at home.
Here is a document with the questions, a glossary and maths method videos will follow shortly!
Today we started our talk the text for a stegosaurus Information report.
We have done the opening paragraph and appearance paragraph so far. Maybe you could use the text map below to have a go at home. You could even try and teach someone!
Last week we had a lot of fun at the bike-a-thon raising money for Sport Relief!
Here we are enjoying the event:
A big thank you to everyone who attended the Year 2 Assessment meeting last night. It was great to see so many people and we hope the evening was informative and helpful.
We received lots of good feedback and are looking to put together the following for parents:
A glossary of terms to support grammar and writing.
Explanations of maths methods used in Year 2.
Spelling rules lists for Year 2.
If you have any more suggestions/questions please do not hesitate to speak to your class teacher. I will be uploading the presentation onto the website after we repeat the meeting next week.
The next meeting is Wednesday 23rd March 5pm-6pm @ Countess Way
Year 2 have had a fantastic afternoon with Miss Broome working on food portraits inspired by Arcimboldo, The children worked in high learning zones to produce amazing art!
They talked about who Arcimboldo was and what he used to create his portraits.
They then looked at the fruit and veg they noticed and what parts of the faces they could identify.
Finally they created their own food portraits in the style of Arcimboldo. I am sure you will agree they look absolutely amazing and there are lots of high well beings!
Congratulations to the fantastic children who worked Well Above Expectation this week!

Many thanks to Gary, Rebecca and Julie who helped us understand more about road safety!
Every Thursday afternoon at 2.30 for the last two weeks there has been a very calm atmosphere at Countess Way. We have started a shared reading time across KS1 & 2 and it is a truly magical experience! All staff have offered a book to read and the children have signed up to the book they want to listen too. It has been lovely to see the excitement, high levels of engagement and children whisked off into the fictional worlds of some of our favourite authors.
This half term the books include:
The Borrowers
The Magic Finger
Danny the Campion of the World
The Magic Faraway Tree
Wind in the Willows
Fantastic Mr Fox
Here we are listening to the stories.
We love school so much that we all came to school every day last week!
