We started this week with an exciting visit from a children’s book author called Paeony Lewis, she spoke to the children about how she became an author and where her ideas for stories came from. In English this week the children have read some more of their new Land Ahoy topic book- ‘How to Find Gold.’ The children wrote a story using their treasure maps which they made a few weeks ago about the journey they took to find their gold. They then created their own sea monster using junk modelling which they then wrote a fact file about.<br />
In Maths this week we have been learning about number bonds from 10 to 20. The children were learning associative facts, for example; if they know that 7+3= 10 then they should know that 17+3=20 or 1+9=10 then 11+9=20.<br />
For Geography we explored the capital cities of the UK and labelling a map of the UK to show this. In science we have been looking at what plants need to grow. The children planted their own cress seeds which have been left to grow in different places around the school and the children made predictions about which place they think is best and why.<br />
The children have been practicing their pirate dance, which they will perform at the summer fair next Friday!<br />
In a few weeks’ time the children will be making their own lighthouse model. We would appreciate if you could bring in some kitchen/toilet rolls and newspaper.<br />
Have a lovely weekend,<br />

Sports Day on Monday was a hugely exciting, busy and tiring
day but very much enjoyed by all. Thank you for supporting us by coming to
watch your children and cheering them on. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During the mornings this week the children have completed
their reading special booklets (SATs). They have all worked really hard. You
will be pleased to know that our SATs are now finished.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In Maths this week we have been partitioning numbers into
different combinations of tens and ones. For example; 62 = 60 + 2, or 50 + 12,
or 40 + 22, or 30 + 32 etc. The children used the tens and ones sticks to help
them. We also applied this skill by drawing bar models to show the partition.
Some children solved incorrect partition challenges for example 62 = 6 + 2
…”This is incorrect because the 6 digit is worth 6 tens so it should be 60 + 2.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A big well done to the children who took part in the dance
showcase. We are really proud of their confident performance and we hope you
all enjoyed coming to watch them. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whilst the children were at the dance showcase, the rest of
Year 2 completed some pirate art. We created a sea background using paint and
added texture using sponges, forks and brushes. We then made a pirate boat
using sugar paper and oil pastels to stick on top. This artwork, along with the
treasure maps made a few weeks ago will be on display in the lower school hall.<o:p></o:p></div>

After half term we will need lots of junk modelling. Please
can you save this up and bring into school the first Monday back. Many thanks.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We have had an exciting week in
Year 2. We started off the week with a fantastic launch to our new topic ‘Land
Ahoy’. We had a wonderful workshop with Miss Helen from Music and Movement all
about pirates and did some dance and drama. We did lots of different pirate
activities throughout the day including making telescopes, porthole art, making
pirate hats and walking the plank!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In English this week we have
started looking at our new ‘Power of Reading’ text. We are keeping the title to
ourselves for now. The children have done some excellent work on inferring from
a picture and writing instructions to find gold.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In Maths we have been learning
about position and direction and guiding our friends round different routes
using the language forwards, backwards, left, right, clockwise and
anticlockwise, ¼ and ½ turn. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In our topic work we have made
some amazing detailed maps to show a journey to find gold. In Science we have
investigated different materials to see which float and sink and choose the
best one to make a boat. We have really enjoyed using our investigative skills.
We have also learnt about the story of Jonah and the big fish and made a story
map of it in RE.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">A few quick reminders….<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Home learning is coming home
today.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Please can we remind parents that
children need to have their reading records in school at all times so that we
can record details about your child’s reading.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Don’t forget it’s Sports Day on
Monday. The children are really excited and have been working hard practising
their races.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We are really looking forward to
Dance Showcase next week at the open. A reminder for the children taking part,
please could we have any costumes in school as soon as possible and also £1 for
the bow ties.<o:p></o:p></div>

Today, we had a visit from Charlotte (Sam Thouless' Mum) who spoke to us about what it was like to be a nurse. We learnt lots of facts about bones, eyes, our pulse, and we even had a go at using some of the equipment!<br />
Thank you very much to Charlotte.<br />

We have had a fun and varied week
this week in Year 2.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In English, we finished our story
about Claude in the City, and discovered how he saved the day curing lots of
sick people with a cup of tea and a biscuit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We then created storyboards to retell the story in our own ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the end of the week we planned our own
version of the story.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In maths, we have been looking at
creating graphs to represent different kinds of data.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We started creating pictograms showing how
our class got to school, moving on to making bar charts about our favourite
sports.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then reinforcing our knowledge
about these.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For science, we explored the
school looking at different plants and trees, trying to recognise them by their
leaves and flowers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We discovered that
we have a huge variety of wildlife just in the school, getting excited about
the variety of colours that will be out when summer finally arrives.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For our history lesson, we looked
at how technology has changed in the home from the 1950s up to now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We looked at how small the televisions were
in comparison, and that they used to have to get up to change the between the
two or three channels!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also looked at
technology in the kitchen and discovered they did not have microwaves!<o:p></o:p></div>

Welcome back to the Summer term!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We started the week by planning
our leaflets for the Sainsbury Centre. The children looked at real-life
leaflets to decide what features they should include. The planned space for
headings, a map, pictures, prices, opening times, etc. Later in the week, we
wrote persuasive paragraphs about what you can do at the Sainsbury Centre, the
shop and the café. On Friday, we used our planning to make the leaflets. These
have been photocopied and sent to the Sainsbury Centre for them to, hopefully,
use.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In maths this week, we learnt
about how to read scales. We looked at real-life scales on car speedometers,
measuring jugs, rulers, weighing scales, etc. The children looked closely to
see what steps the scales were counting in (1s, 2s, 5s, 10s) and had to work
out the missing number. Later in the term, we will be applying this skill by
reading thermometers. <o:p></o:p></div>

During the afternoons, we have
been designing, making and evaluating sock puppets. The children have had lots
of fun and we are very impressed with how much their real puppet looks like
their design!<o:p></o:p></div>

This week we have been busy making our own sock friends (puppets). </div>

Then, we worked with a grown-up to glue the pieces in the right place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
After that, we tried out our sock puppets.</div>

We have had a lovely day at the Sainsbury Centre!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To begin, the children were 'Gallery Detectives' and had to find out as much information out about the building, what it was and what it had inside. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next, they completed sketching activities. This included doing a continuous line drawing, sketching small, sketching like scientists and sketching from memory. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After lunch, we went outside and explored the outdoor sculptures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also had a fun time playing outside in the sunshine.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
This week, in English, we have written our newspaper reports
about the ‘great sculpture robbery’ that took place in the art gallery of our
book ‘Claude in the City’. The children wrote a headline, drew a picture with a
caption and included lots of real facts and quotes from local people. We have
used the opportunity to discuss the features of non-fiction texts.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the afternoons, we have been busy completing Easter and
spring craft activities. The children really enjoyed making their bouncing
chicks and chocolate Easter nests in baskets. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On Thursday, we had a wonderful time on our school trip. The
children found out lots of information about the Sainsbury Centre and completed
some sketching activities. After Easter, we will be continuing our work on
non-fiction by making leaflets/guidebooks for the Sainsbury Centre using the
information we collected. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have had our final practise of our ‘special booklets’
(SATs) ready for May and we are pleased with the progress that the children
have made. Over the Easter holidays, please continue to hear you child read
little and often, and, if you have time, complete a few maths problems with
them (all 4 operations). However, and most importantly, we really hope you all
have a relaxing Easter filled with exciting activates. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "sassoon primary"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In English this week, we found
out that a robber stole a sculpture from an art gallery in our book ‘Claude in

We made wanted posters using suffixes, for example harm<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">less</b>, colour<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ful</b>, quick<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ly, </b>shini<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">est, </b>clever<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">est and </b>sneak<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">iest</b>. Later
in the week we<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>held a press
conference with children in role as the Robber, Security Guard, Museum Manager,
Mayor and Police Chief. The children wrote questions to ask at the conference.
We have begun looking at the features<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>at
newspapers ready to write a newspaper report about the incident next week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "sassoon primary"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In Maths, we have been
practising our multiplication skills and learning about the inverse
relationship between multiplication and division. We used the same 4 numbers to
write four numbers sentences, for example 5 x 2 = 10, 2 x 5 = 10, 10 ÷ 5 = 2
and 10 ÷ 2 = 5. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

fingerprints and how the police use these to identify criminals. We scribbled
with a pencil, pressed our finger on top, then put our finger onto the sticky
side of a piece of sellotape, and once this was stuck onto white paper, you
could see the fingerprint clearly. We used magnifying glasses to observe and
find similarities and differences. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Today we had our Year 2 Maths Cafe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We began by letting the children be the experts. They taught their parents how to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They used different methods including; chips and peas, arrays and groups.</div>

After this, we made multiplication flowers. The children chose a times table that they felt they needed more practise with. These can now be used at home.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We had a lovely start to the week
with the launch of our new topic ‘Street Detectives’ by going on a walk around
the village. The children had a map and drew symbols to make a key showing the
main features of Mulbarton including the Church, Co-Op, The Common, etc.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In English, we have started our
new Power of Reading book (the title of which will be kept a secret for now).
We began by looking at the first picture in the book, which was a city scene.
We then read the first 9 pages which introduced us to the characters Claude,
Sir Bobblysock, and Mr and Mrs Shinyshoes. The children completed a character
profile with all the information that they already knew about Claude along with
questions regarding things they would like to find out. Later in the week, we
wrote predictions of the adventure that Claude and Sir Bobblysock might have.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
At the end of the week, we began writing poetry about a city. We will be
continuing this next week. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In Art, we made collages to show
our predicted adventures. These included; space, beach, under the sea, Paris,
and city scenes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In Spanish, we learnt the names
of animals. The children acted as different animals and we guessed what they
were using our new Spanish words.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In Maths this week, we have been
learning about the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. We
used this understanding to solve missing number problems, for example ? + 20 =
70 we solved by doing 70-20 = 50. This is an area that some children find quite
challenging and would benefit from practising missing number problems at home. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We have had a lovely week in Year
2 and have been very busy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In English this week we have been
story mapping our Power of Reading story ‘The Princess and the White Bear
King’. We divided the story into chapters and began to plan our own chapters to
write. We have used our story maps to write our own chapter with adjectives and
adverbial phrases to say when and where things happened. We have edited and
improved our work ready to write up in best next week to make our own
collaborative versions of the book.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In Maths this week we have been
focussing on money. We have learnt about the values of different coins and
worked on making different amounts using the coins. We have also focussed on
adding amounts of money and finding totals.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In Science this week we have been
out on a ‘I wonder…’ walk and thought about questions that we could investigate
later in the year about plants and nature. The teachers will use these
questions later in the year to plan some exciting science investigations.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
We have continued our work on
Judaism this week and learnt about the festival of Shabbat. We learnt about why
Jewish people celebrate Shabbat and how they do this. We also had our own
Shabbat meal with bread and grape juice (blackcurrant squash).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Next week we will be taking part
in an exciting innovate challenge to finish off our ‘Towers, Tunnels and
Turrets’ topic. We would appreciate any donations of junk for junk modelling
that you may have (boxes, cardboard tubes, bottles). These need to be brought in by Wednesday 6th. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the week beginning 11<sup>th</sup>
March we will be launching our new topic ‘Street Detectives’ with a walk around
Mulbarton to explore our local community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We would appreciate any volunteers that are able to assist us with a
walk on Monday morning, we will be leaving school at 9.30am and aiming to
return before lunch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please let your
child’s teacher know if you are available to help.<o:p></o:p></div>

This week we have been continuing our work on the Judaism faith by learning about their weekly celebration - Shabbat.<br />
<br />
We learnt that on the 7th day of the week Jewish families have a day of rest, called Shabbat, where they relax and spend time together. They have a special meal which must include bread and wine (or grape juice). The reason they do this is because they believe that God made the world in 6 days and on the 7th day he had a rest.<br />
<br />
We sat in a circle and role played a Shabbat meal with candles, blessings, bread and juice.<br />
<br />

This week we have been busy learning all about fractions of shape and number. On Tuesday we played a game using non-unit fractions. The bottom number was how many pieces the shape was cut into and the top number was how many were coloured in.<br />
