It has been a busy and productive term in Year 2! Thank you for all your support, and we wish all families a peaceful and relaxing holiday.
We have been collecting our favourite words and phrases about wintry weather and have been creating senses poems.
This week we have been completing some wintry mathematics puzzles, making 3-snowmen from nets and creating beautiful symmetrical snowflakes!
Please see Google Classroom for some photos of what we have been up to in Discovery Learning .
We have been continuing to learn all about shape. We have been learning about lines of symmetry, have been grouping shapes according to their properties and have been creating shape patterns.
This week we made some lovely snowy scenes using collage, oil pastels and coloured pens.

As the weather is now cooler some PE lessons may happen outside. Please make sure your child brings a hat to school.
Please remember to label everything your child brings to school, including water bottles, lunch bags and swim kits. This will help us reunite any missing items with your child!

Thank you to all those who have attended our Parental Engagement Workshops. We appreciate your time and involvement in supporting your child’s learning. Please see below for the downloads and presentations from past workshops.

Please can we request that all children come to school on the day of their swimming lessons with the following equipment:
Swim Uniform in accordance with guidelines.
Swim hats for those with long hair. ALL hats must be secure on the head with no risk of slipping down over the face.
Goggles
Towel
Pool shoes (crocs or equivalent)
A waterproof bag to carry everything in.
Please see our Swimwear Guidelines on the website.
Please do not wear 'swim uniform' into school for hygiene reasons. Please do not wear an alternative gym or running kit for swimming lessons. It's important to use only 'Swim Uniform' and the recommendations listed above in the pool, as other fabrics become incredibly heavy when wet.
We have created WhatsApp groups for parents to know about urgent messages or reminders. Email will continue to be the main form of communication. Please see our BSM WhatsApp Groups Document for all the links. Please read the code of conduct carefully before joining any BSM WhatsApp groups.
