It was lovely to welcome everyone back to class 2 including our 2 new members also. This week the children have been getting used to the new routines and newly decorated classroom. We have done some writing and drawing about our Summer holidays and ourselves. In Maths we started 'Big Maths'. After reading the story 'Chrysanthemum' we also did some data handling about our names. Jordan, a coach from Colchester United, led our PE lesson this week in which we played tag rugby. On Wednesday afternoon the children split into year groups for Science; Year 2 started their topic of materials and Year 1 began learning about the seasons. We rounded the day off with a class assembly all about new starts. We listened to the story of Zaccheus who changed his ways after meeting Jesus and talked about how we might make some fresh starts.
Next week we will be doing some work about our special toys so please could each child bring in a teddy or toy that is special to them. We have PE outside on a Tuesday and the children will need trainers, if possible, and a tracksuit as it gets cooler. Please ensure all items are clearly labelled with your child's name. In Maths we will be working with number and we will be starting our daily phonics sessions on Monday.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to come in and see us (after school please as the mornings are very busy and needed for settling the children)

Welcome back "new class 2". I'm very much looking forward to having a nose around your posh new classroom. Someone told me it happens to be the BEST classroom in the school but I don't know if that's true or not. I also heard that classroom 2 is a particular favourite of Marlene and she is fussy, so I reckon you're on to a winner in there. Learning is easy in a super classroom.
