Until we complete our accelerated reader assessments on the computer, we will allow children to pick the books they are interested in. I have not sent books home this weekend but these should hopefully be ready to take home on Monday. Just a few bits of additional information… We will be using these to make a list of the characteristics we need to have to ‘bee’ successful and fulfilled learners.
We have thought carefully about adjectives we would use to describe ourselves and have been thinking of ways we can show kindness to others.įinally, we have been doing some lovely craft work and have painted our very own pebble bumble bees. We have had a big focus on talking, sharing our thoughts and thinking about our strengths and talents. We will be using this data to create our own pictograms next week. We also did some data collection and interviewed our classmates about their favourite things. We made our own board games and wrote numbers as high as we could to help people navigate around our games. In Maths, we have been focusing upon counting and number recognition. In English, we have been creating ‘all about me’ bunting to display in our classroom and the children have worked so hard to form their sentences and have been challenging themselves to use conjunctions to make longer, more detailed sentences. This week’s post is a little update on what we have been doing during our first week back.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility in helping us to reopen as safely as possible and I can clearly see just how much work you have all put in at home. Obviously, some things are very different than before and these changes will take a little more time to embed into their (and our!) routines but we are taking it all in our stride. We’ve had a fantastic week and have settled back into the school routines so quickly that you’d think we’d never been away. Well, I think we can all agree that its been a funny old year so far! But it fills me with such great delight to finally welcome our new Year 2 class back into school.
