Christmas visit to The Word

10th December 2024 By Samantha McHugh

Last week, our Year 2 children had a magical visit to The Word! The morning was filled with festive cheer as we listened to enchanting Christmas stories, sparking imaginations and setting the perfect seasonal mood.

The children then got creative, crafting delightful Christmas-themed pictures to take home and share with their families. Their creativity and enthusiasm shone brightly throughout!

Afterwards, the children explored the library’s wonderful collection of books independently, discovering new titles that piqued their interest. We were thrilled to bring back some exciting books to support our next school topic—our library is looking more vibrant than ever!

A huge thank you to the staff at The Word for making our visit so special. The children left inspired, creative, and ready to dive into their next literary adventures!

Year 2 Writing

29th November 2024 By Samantha McHugh

This half term, the children in Year 2 have thoroughly enjoyed their Goldilocks and the Three Bears writing unit. It’s been wonderful to see their enthusiasm and effort throughout the process.

The unit began with an exciting ‘hook’ during our visit to West Boldon Lodge, which sparked their imaginations and set the scene for their learning. From there, they’ve embraced our whole-school writing unit, which has included skills lessons, identifying the key features of a narrative, comprehension based on a model text and detailed planning.

This week, the children completed their Big Write task, and we couldn’t be prouder of their hard work and dedication. They have exceeded expectations, writing at length and including a fantastic range of the skills they’ve been learning so far in Year 2. It’s also been delightful to see how much they’ve improved the presentation of their work—many of them are already joining letters!

Well done, Year 2! We are so impressed by your determination and progress. Keep up the great work!

West Boldon Lodge Year 2

5th November 2024 By Samantha McHugh

 

Yesterday, Year 2 had an unforgettable day at West Boldon Lodge, diving into literacy and science in the beautiful autumn outdoors! Our day began with a Goldilocks and the Three Bears workshop, the perfect hook for our new writing unit, sparking creativity and storytelling. The children used the natural autumn treasures they collected to make their very own bear masks, bringing the beloved characters to life. They also crafted bear faces on the trees using clay, much like the bears from the story appeared in the illustrations. To make the experience complete, everyone gathered around to make porridge over an open fire – just like Goldilocks!
In the afternoon, our focus turned to science with a hands-on life cycle workshop. The children set off on a “treasure hunt,” searching for clues related to different stages of life cycles and collecting life cycle poems along the way. Working in teams, they pieced together the stages of various life cycles and proudly presented their findings to their classmates in a fun competition.
The day wrapped up with pond dipping – a thrilling adventure as the children discovered a variety of creatures in the water. This activity wasn’t just exciting but also educational, as they learned about the different needs animals have to survive.
Our Year 2 students came away with new knowledge, wonderful memories, and even a few muddy boots! Thank you to West Boldon Lodge for hosting such an enriching experience!
What a great start to the half term!

Our Year 2 class had a wonderfull visit to The Word today! The children were buzzing with excitement as we explored the world of literature and picked out some fantastic new books for our class library. It was great to see them so engaged and eager to dive into new stories.

After our book adventure, we channeled our creativity with a fun autumn crafting session. The children made sheep out of pine cones and cotton wool, linked to one of the stories that was shared by the lovely librarian .

A big thank you to The Word for inspiring a love of reading and creativity in our young learners. We’re excited to dive into our new books and continue exploring the magic of literature!

Travelling Crib

27th November 2023 By carolinekennedy

In Advent, as we wait and prepare for the coming of Jesus, the children have been invited to join our special project called ‘The Travelling Crib’.   Starting this week, each child will take turns bringing home a pack to share with their families.

This is to help us remember the journey Mary and Joseph made to Bethlehem, and as a family take time to stop and think about the true meaning of Christmas.

Children in KS1 will bring home The Christmas Story, while children in KS2 will bring home a book called ‘When the Stars Shone Bright, A Christmas Tale’ telling the Christmas story from the perspective of the three wise men.
