Year 2

This term Year 2 have lots of adventures planned to help us answer the essential question: 

Where could an adventure take you?

Over the next 12 weeks, we will discover facts and information about a range of explorers including; Christopher Columbus, Captain Cook, Robert Falcon Scott and the local adventurer Ross Edgely. 

In the first week we are fortunate to hold a workshop at school where we will explore and learn lots about Christopher Columbus. Come back to look at photos of what we have been up to!

LEADER IN ME

On a daily basis, the children try to demonstrate our core values within school. As we aim to practise them so often, they become good habits that we can use not only in school but also at home too. 

• Habit 1: Be Proactive (You’re in Charge)
• Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind (Have a Plan)
• Habit 3: Put First Things First (Work First, Then Play)
• Habit 4: Think Win-Win (Everyone Can Win)
• Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood(Listen Before You Talk)
• Habit 6: Synergise (Together Is Better)
• Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw (Balance Feels Best)

Growth Mindset

We are continuing to use Growth Mindset to encourage resilience and perseverance for all our children to support and further their learning. Our Collective Worship this term will support this by focussing on mental wellbeing, healthy life-style and positive relationships which links our seventh value of Sharpen the Saw. Further information can be found by following the link below.
