BIG Bugs!

Today Year 2 learnt about some fascinating bugs.  A man called Martin showed us some bugs and told us some facts about them.

All of us were very brave and held or touched some of the creatures.

We saw and heard some hissing cockroaches, held a leaf insect, saw some millipedes crawl across the floor and even stroked a scorpion!

Some of us were a little unsure about stroking Lucy the red-kneed tarantula ...

 ... but most of us did and thought she was furry and friendly!

We really enjoyed it and learned lots!

Children in Need

Children in Need day was a great success.  We had a very 'spotty' day.

Mrs Ovenden made Pudsey Bear biscuits for lunch which were delicious.

The staff and children dressed up in their best 'spotty' outfits.

We stuck £1 coins onto Pudsey Bear.

Thank you for all your donations, we raised over £200 for Children in Need.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

We like to recycle at Village Infants.  Today Year 2 learnt more about how to reduce, reuse and recycle our rubbish.

Now we know where to put our rubbish.

Tin cans, plastic bottles, thin card and paper go in the orange bags.

Glass bottles and jars go in the blue box.

We have also learnt not to waste water to help save the environment. We learnt some good water habits when we watched the water pantomime.

                            

We have really enjoyed it. Please help us to save water by using all your good water habits.

Sports Week

We had lots of fun during sports week last week.

These photos are class Capri enjoying football training with West Ham.

This is the William Ford play leaders leading whole school Tenergy (ten minutes of daily activity)

Year 2 street dancing with Diversity (on the change 4 life website... https://dance.change4life.com/letsdance_learnmoves.aspx )

We all took part in a skipping workshop with our classes then shared what we had learnt in a whole school assembly.

The sun shone at our sponsored walk!

We participated in a whole school sports fun day to finish the week.

Key Steps Borough Gymnastics Competition

Today 7 of our key stage 1 gym club children attended a gymnastics competition at Gorsebrook Lesiure Centre.  They have been training hard for 6 weeks learning routines in floor work, body management and vault.  They worked very hard today and really enjoyed themselves.

 

More Wild Things

Class Scorpio re-told the story of Where the Wild Things Are in groups. Hope you enjoy their story telling.

Wild Things!

The topic in Year 2 this term has been 'Where The Wild Things Are'. The children have all been learning how to be storytellers.

Here are a few examples from Class Capri. Don't you think they've done well?

All the individual videos were filmed by the children!
