Today, we walked down to Whitburn Church to celebrate our Harvest Festival. There was some fantastic singing from all our Choir and the rest of the school. Thank you for all the kind donations which will be taken to Hospitality and Hope.
Year 2 had a special visitor! We have been reading the story Beegu and today she came to visit us.
Today in DT Year 2 their challenge was to see if they could build a chair structure using only paper. At first we thought it was impossible! However the children realised that if you made the paper into cylinders it would be stronger. Everyone worked in a team and every team was able to put a book on the top! Some could even hold all 22 books! Well done!
This week in Year 2 we have been looking at Place Value. The children have been looking at different ways to represent two digit numbers. Well done Year 2!
Year 2 have been loving working in the garden. At this time of year we are pulling out the weeds and getting ready to plant some spring bulbs
We have had a wonderful first week back in the classroom and the children have worked extremely hard!
Yesterday morning Year 2 came into the classroom and realised a space rocket had landed in the classroom! After some careful investigations they found a letter, some suspicious yellow balls and blue slime.
We left some questions and today a new letter and a book has arrived for us to look at. Our new class text is Beegu and we are very excited to find out more about the rocket.

This term also saw a record number of people with 100% attendance. We also had some people manage to have 100% all year!!
Y2-Y5 thoroughly enjoyed their visit from Whitburn Cricket Club. We discovered a lot of natural talent and some children made a lot of progress in the hour session!
Hopefully, some of the children will have discovered a new hobby!
