St Lawrence Whole School Fieldtrip

On Thursday last week, the whole school went on a local fieldtrip, arranged by Mrs Mountcastle, our geography lead. We walked 4 miles around the locality, looking at farms, wildlife and examples of sustainability.

Children in Reception and Years 1 & 2 used a photograph map to find their way along the route, and the children from Years 3- 6 used OS maps.

Back at school, Reception made flatbread with some wild garlic we had collected, Class 2 carried on learning about native and local plants, Class 3 wrote about their adventure, and Class 4 made their own maps of the journey.

We were very proud of all the children, and look forward to the next fieldtrip.

World Book Day Door

The children in Class 2 did a wonderful job creating their own potions for the World Book Day door competition.

This design was linked to the well-loved book ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’ and the children had some amazing ideas for medicine, including to be kind and to be a good Christian, as well as being young and a princess.

We also won the door competition, judged by Mr Battrick! Well done, Class 2!

Chinese Dragon Dance

This week we had a visit from a Chinese dancer who showed us how to do a traditional Chinese dragon dance!

It was lots of fun, we really liked the bright and colourful dragon head, and enjoyed taking turns to be the front of the dragon.

Ask us all about it, we’d love to tell you!

Year 2 Common Exception Words

Spelling in the National Curriculum- Year 2

Your child is learning spellings set out in the National Curriculum this year. Phonic knowledge will underpin the teaching of common spelling ‘rules’ which will be taught every week. However, many words in the English language seem to follow no pattern – these are known as ‘exception words’.

These words are a mixture of words which pupils frequently use in their writing but can often misspell.

If you would like to work on helping your child practice these spellings at home, your child will benefit greatly.

Thank you for your continued support

Mrs Skilton-Yates
