This half term year 2 have been very busy! The children worked so hard during chance to shine and showed off their skills they have learnt.
In art, the children have been learning about different types of kites. They then designed and made their own diamond kite using a range of different materials such as sugar paper, tissue paper, straws and coloured paper. They have loved creating these!
The children have also been working hard on their spellings. We have been doing spelling rainbows and pyramids to help us remember them better. This has helped 18 children get 7/7 last week. Well done everyone!
We have also been working hard on our Nativity. We have been practising our lines and songs ready for our performance this week!
