Term Update
This term has been a great term of learning and fun for Year 2. We started off by learning how to keep ourselves safe on bonfire night and enjoyed watching all the fireworks.
Just like in the story, Emma-Jane's Aeroplane, we flew all around the world, visiting London, New York, Paris, Venice, Beijing and Sydney. All without leaving the classroom! We loved sitting on the plane and writing about our adventure.
We, of course, prepared for Christmas- we learnt a beautiful carol which we shared with family and friends in church, had fun at our Christmas lunch (even enjoying the sprouts!) and made lovely tree decorations with our families during our family challenge morning. We especially enjoyed our visit to the theatre to watch the pantomime.
It has been a busy and fun-filled term and we are all ready for a break and look forward to more fun and learning in 2026.
