Silkstone Primary School

Welcome to Class Two 

Welcome to Class 2

In Class 2, the children will be working with Miss Felton and Mrs Kay. Our priorities are for your child to feel happy, safe and secure in order to help them make the most of their learning.

Please help us to develop your child’s independence, by allowing them to come into the cloakroom on their own each morning and get themselves organised.

To help your child with their learning, it is really important that you hear them read at least three times a week at home and support them in learning their spellings each week too. Children need to bring books in to change on a Monday. I will also be uploading homework onto seesaw each week, for children to do with parents at home.

Our PE sessions for this half term will be on a Monday and Tuesday, so please make sure your child brings their PE kit on these days.

We will also be using TTRockstars and Purple Mash, alongside seesaw, to support learning both at home and at school.

Spring Term Curriculum Overview

Christmas Party

We all had great fun at our Christmas party.

Christmas Craft

We had a lovely afternoon making our Christmas crafts.  We made reindeer baubles and iced gingerbread men.

Father Christmas

We loved our visit to Father Christmas in his grotto.   We had a chat about Christmas and then he kindly gave us an early Christmas present.  It was a lovely start to the Christmas Fayre.

Victorian Kitchen

We had an online visit from the Victorian Cook at Cannon Hall.  She told us all about her life in Victorian times and then showed us how to make sugar mice.  We were really pleased with our results and think they look too cute to eat.

We all enjoyed dressing up in our spooky costumes today!

We are Scientists!

We worked collaboratively to investigate which paper was the most absorbent.

On your Marks...

The sun shone down as we ran one mile around the field to raise money for the Trussell Trust, which supports Barnsley Hospice.

Recorders!

We are enjoying learning to play the recorder in Year 2 and hope that we will soon be creating some wonderful music!

Football

We are enjoying our football lessons.
