Super Six!
We had a great Super Six Learning Powers Day. We carried out some activities based on the Old Bear stories 'Jolly Tall', 'The Boat Race' and 'The Colour Chase', where the toys use their collaboration, determination, resourcefulness, creativity, commitment and reflection skills. Some photos from the day are below:
Resourcefulness - build a house for your sidekick, choosing the best resources and tools
Determination - follow the instructions to make a pirate hat
Collaboration - make a team boat which will carry your sidekick
Creativity - design a mixed-up animal
Thank you for coming to our parents phonics presentation. Here are the slides as promised.
Welcome to Year 2!
The children are settling well into Mulberry Class and we had a really good first week. We spent a lot of time getting back into routines, with reminders of expectations and good manners. The children have enjoyed being back together and getting to know their new classroom and the adults in Mulberry Class.
Mrs Tomes-Rolt teaches the class on a Monday and I teach the rest of the week with my planning, preparation and assessment time on Thursday afternoons, while the children have thier PE lesson.
Mrs Scott is our classroom TA on Monday to Thursday mornings and Mrs Cornford helps two afternoons a week. Mrs Scott also takes the children to lunch and helps them in the dining room before Mrs Meladosi (known as "Miss Cris") takes them out to play. Mrs Hilson runs the library, so the children will see her on a Friday, when they change their books fortnightly.
Our Classroom:
Children in year 2 are expected to change for PE, so their kits must be in school for their Thursday lessons. It is best for them to leave it at school and take it home at the end of a half term for a wash. Please encourage your child to change independently at home to allow them to develop their speed!
Forest schools takes place on a Monday, please see the attached timetable;
Please see the useful information below; our provisional timetable, which will give you an idea of what your child does each day. Topic lessons will be changeable as some half terms I teach geography, and some will have a history focus, for example. You can also find the whole year curriculum overview below.
Please remember you can contact me and Mrs Tomes-Rolt using the class email address: mulberry@linsladelower.beds.sch.uk should you have anything you wish to let us know or discuss, and we will respond at the earliest convenience.
I look forward to getting to know you and your child!
Miss Stokes
