Magpies - Year 2

A final week in Magpies Class!

Friday 20th July

An amazing year has come to an end! We were thinking about our favourite memories from Magpies class and there have been a lot!!

We have enjoyed our class week together as a class through exploring India. A fantastic last few days with art and creativity. The children have worked hard to produce some creative designs and have learnt some very interesting facts!

Take a scroll through the blog and you will see all the fantastic adventures from our class this year!

Thank you for being a fantastic class! I wish you all a safe and enjoyable Summer and I will see you all next year in Herons!

A week of kindness, perseverance and creativity!

Friday 13th July

What a brilliant week! Magpies class have been busy with some fantastic learning!

Kindness

This week we have been raising money for the National Deaf Children's Society, We have enjoyed painting mugs, decorating biscuits and making bunting ready for our Parent Fundraiser! The Robins and the Magpies were fantastic! They performed a song in sign language confidently and together we managed to raise a total of over £85! The money will go towards helping children who are deaf and supporting their families.

Perseverance

Throughout the week we have enjoyed solving a range of different maths challenges. Some of them were challenging- finding different solutions, using our mental addition and using resources to help us. I have been so impressed with how the Magpies have persevered and kept going to find different answers! A very important skill for later in life! 

 Creativity

This week the Magpies have finished their last 'Hot Write' in Year 2 and it was super! A spooky setting description about the forest! Well done for all of your creative ideas and choice of language. A great end to our Literacy this year!

A special mention to Edward who has been our Star of the Week for his enthusiasm in our Talk for Writing and our Parent Fundraiser. Well done Edward!

Safari here we come!

Friday 29th June

What a week! Magpies have had a super week! It all started with finishing off our communication topic learning by making a booklet about all of the different ways of communication. We had some fantastic ideas with the children thinking carefully about how communicating has changed since the past.

Our highlight of the week has to be our trip to Woburn Safari Park! We thoroughly enjoyed the safari! We saw so many animals from giraffes, elephants, zebras and we even had a monkey sitting on the roof of the school coach!

Here are some quotes about the day from Magpies class:

"I liked seeing the penguins because you could see them swimming around" Rose
 
"My favourite part was the monkeys because they went on the coach roof and we could see them through the windows" Edward

 

The children behaved respectfully and they were a credit to our school! Thank you Magpies!

Our Star of the Week is Teddy for his fantastic knowledge about animals and using it to produce some brilliant Literacy writing.

Our Adventures continue...

Friday 15th June

A brilliant week in Magpies this week! It all started off with a joint science lesson with the Year 1 children. We enjoyed designing, building and evaluating a habitat for a woodland animal. It was great fun to work together in our school woods and build a habitat where some animals might live. We thought carefully about what the animals might need to live there.

 We also had a special visit from the Northampton Saints Rugby Club! We enjoyed a session with them learning a bit about Rugby and spending some time playing games and practising our skills! It was great fun and all of the children gave 100% effort!
