Bramley Fall Woods

We had a fantastic trip to Bramley Fall Woods. We really enjoyed collecting leaves, acorns and other interesting things. The afternoon was spent looking closely at all the wonderful things we had collected. We made leaf prints, did some leaf rubbings, used magnifying glasses to look at the things in more detail and we even had a competition to see who found the smallest and largest leaves.

Crazy Portraits

 

We have really enjoyed making these crazy looking portraits out of old newspapers and magazines. We think they look fantastic!

What do you think?

Do you know a poem by heart?

 

What about your mum or dad, or one of your grandparents - did they learn a poem when they were little that they can still remember now?

Why not ask them!

Next week is Children's Book Week and on Thursday 4th October we will be celebrating National Poetry Day. We're hoping you will try to learn a poem and then come to school and perform it for your class.

 

There will be a special assembly on Thursday when we will hear poem performers from every class - will YOU be a Year 2 poetry star?

 

 

 

Do you have a favourite poem? Why not tell us on the blog?

Have you read a GREAT book lately?

Don't forget to tell us about it!!

 

It's a good idea to recommend a book you have really enjoyed to your friends.

 

How can you do this?

• Tell them!
• Bring the book to school to show it to the class.
• Write down the title and the name of the author.
• Write a blog post and put your recommendation on here!

 

We can't wait to share your favourite books!
