On Monday 15th July, the children will be having a changeover day, where they will go to the class that they will be in for year 3 so that they can meet their new teacher, experience a day in the classroom and generally get the feel for life in year 3, so that they know what to expect when we return after the summer.

The children are to be dropped off as normal to 2RW and collected from there as well.

I hope the children are looking forward to what will be an exciting day!

This week.

Well, this week has been our first week with Miss Pickering and the children have been very helpful, working hard and helping Miss Pickering to settle in wonderfully. We have started our new topic of pirates and have learned many gruesome facts about one particularly nasty pirate - Captain Blackbeard! We have practised making notes from information we have read and turning them into super sentences.

Also, we have ended a lovely week with the exciting news that Mrs Wood has had a baby boy!!! What fabulous news - we wish the whole family lots of love from 2RW.

End of topic castle banquet

On Friday we finished our topic on castles by holding a banquet.

We brought our arty clothes, wore our symmetrical crowns we made and listened to traditional medieval music.

Here is the class looking stunning in their crowns....

And of course we ate some food.... Not traditional castle food I have to say though!

We had a super time!

When might matchers give and expect something in return?

We have continued looking at our work on givers, takers and matchers. This week we thought about when matchers might want something in return.

We split the children into groups and gave them a scenario to think about.

Here are the children's ideas.....

At school -

Giving a party invitation
Sharing a toy
Playing football
Giving an answer
Giving a sweet

At home -

Using a scooter
Giving a drink
Giving a sweet
Giving a football, I would expect a free kick

We have also started another new share topic.

Our share topic was...

If we had a friend that broke their leg, how would we cheer them up?

Trey - I would do a knock knock joke.
Leigh - I would make a funny face.
Kimberlie - I would them a chocolate bar.
Kaitlyn - I would give them a lolly pop.
Annie-May - I would make them a card.
