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.

This week Year 2 had a wonderful visit to Newham City Farm. We got to meet many different animals and learned lots about them. The children were beautifully behaved and has lots of interesting questions to ask our tour guides. Back in school we have been writing TripAdvisor reviews of the farm because we think that everybody should visit! Well done Year 2

Health and Fitness Week has been a great success with the children taking part in lots of different activities and being able to enjoy different healthy fruit and veg. On Monday, the children took part in the 5-a-day Pentathlon and will be trying to better their score in September. Throughout the day on Tuesday, children took part in a Clubbercise session in which they danced the day away to some classic songs. The smoothie bike took off on Wednesday, as we saw each class create their winning smoothie. Finally on Thursday the children took to their seats to watch Teachers vs Year 6 rounder, which saw the teacher win.

This week, the whole school has been on the look out for big red numbers! The numbers are hidden and the children are on a mission to find them and return them to Miss Brown,along with a fact of their choice about that number. The children have enjoyed searching throughout the school and showing off their number skills!

This week Year 2 have been learning how the order of the numbers in our number sentences can change the answers. We know that a larger number usually comes first in a division problem, otherwise the answer would be very tricky to find!

Here’s how we sorted our number sentences…
