In Year 2/3 this

week we have

been thinking

about movement

and holding

poses ingymnastics.

Weve enjoyed

looking at more

complex ways to

move by thinking

about how many

points of contact

we need to make

with the floor.

In Year 1 we looked at both natural and electrical light sources,

how light is reflected in straight lines from a mirror. We saw what

changes happen to our eyes when a room goes from dark to light(our pupils changed size) and we also learnt that the moon is not

a light source. The library has been blacked out and so wevebeen doing many of our experiments in there.


4/6

This week, the focus was to tighten up on playground behaviour and niceness toward each other. Most of the

time, our children are lovely to each other, but it is always great to celebrate those who try extra-hard to beinclusive, calm and kind. Well done to these children for doing just that.

Next weeks focus is for children to be more independent and responsible when moving around the school.

The Musician of the Week goes to Matilda in Year 2. Paul was so impressed with her knowledge of The Beatles

and her solo performance of Help. Her singing voice is getting better and better and her confidence has really

grown. Well done Matilda!

The Artist of the Week goes to Evan in Reception Class for his lovely drawing and writing to accompany the

work Reception Class have been doing on Oliver Jeffers book Lost and Found. Great stuff Evan Well done!
