Year 2 have been kept busy this week! 

On Monday, the children went to Lotherton Hall where they met Florence Nightingale (a nurse from the past – part of our history unit on wonderful women). They were able to look around the house and ask her questions. They also got the opportunity to be nurses and bandage up a teddy. The children explored the grounds and got to observe different animals in the Wildlife Centre (linked to their science unit on animals and their habitats). 

On Tuesday afternoon, the children performed a dance in the hall in front of year 3 pupils. The performance was fantastic! A huge thank you to Mrs Cosgrove who assisted with this and well done 2H for being so amazing!

Key Stage 1 Sports Day took place on Wednesday. The children competed in their teams and had a great time displaying their skills. Well done to all of them!

On Thursday, there was a special delivery to the year 2 cohort. A large box arrived and it contained books for pupils whose parents had ordered a poetry book. A lovely keepsake which can be treasured for many years to come. It has helped to promote a love of reading. Thank you to the families who consented to their child’s poem being published in ‘The Poetry Bus’ book. Complimentary copies that the school received will be kept in the library so that all the children have access to the poems published.
