YEAR 2 NEWS
This busy term is in full swing and the children are thoroughly enjoying
the learning in our theme Come to Life, particularly about Rainforests
which has inspired some incredible poetry. This week and next, we are
using the film The Lorax to write about characters and settings as well
as moving onto exploring the Eco-message within the film.
We have now all done our Class Assemblies and are very proud of the
hard work which has gone into practising and preparing for these. It
brings such a smile to everyones faces seeing the children proudly
sharing their learning with their families. Well done to all three classes
and thank you for coming to watch them.
