On Wednesday, Year Two went on a trip to Chalkwell beach. We had lots of fun building sandcastles, digging huge holes and playing ball games. After our picnic lunch on the beach, we were lucky enough to spot and catch a jellyfish. This jellyfish is a Moon jellyfish. We really wanted to bring him back to school but released him back into the sea when it was time to leave.

This week Year 2 have been reading the poem The Magic Box by Kit Wright. We performed the poem adding actions and sound effects with musical instruments and later wrote our own Magic Box poems which turned out beautifully!

Here is Ivy’s fantastic poem…

Towards the end of the week, we had both KS1 and KS2 Sports Day. The weather was great and the children were ready to go! Each child wore either red, yellow, green or blue and represented their colour/house in their races. KS2 Sports Day took place first with a 9:30 start, it saw the children take part in sprints, long jump, long distance, throwing and a relay.

During lunch time there was a picnic on the field where parents, children and teachers ate lunch and enjoyed a BBQ put on by The Friends of Elm Park Primary. 

The KS1 Sports Day started shortly after lunch. Children took part in 6 events egg and spoon race, sprint, obstacle relay, corridor relay, ball throw and the sack race. 

We would like to thank all parents and careers for attending and The Friends of Elm Park Primary for supporting. A final thank you to Evie Bragger for her fantastic photography.
