QMA Silver Class

Well what can we say? We have had such a great week. This week in school has been all about ‘Caring and Sharing’. We have spent the week following instructions, and baking we made chocolate crunch and flapjack. We invited our parents to join us on Thursday afternoon to share our baking and some of the photographs we have had taken of us since September. We wanted to show our parents all the fun learning that we do in Silver Class.  During the week we went on our school trip. We went to Tattershall Castle. It was amazing!  Miss Robinson was ‘Lady Robinson’ for the day and got all dressed up and looked very posh! We also got dressed up and learnt two dances. After lunch we got to walk around the castle and counted 150 steps to the top!

Check back soon, and hopefully we will have some photographs of our day posted on our website.

Over the last few weeks we have been going over to William Barcroft Junior School for ICT lessons. We have been learning how to use digital cameras and how to download a picture and save it. We have also been practising our word processing skills too.  We haven’t only been learning about ICT at William Barcroft, Miss Robinson has been showing us how to open, save and close a document, as well as investigating different ways of finding information  ready for our ICT and History project after half term. We can’t wait to get stuck into our project, as we have been taught the skills, we just need to put them into action now. Hopefully we will be able to put some of our work on our website to show you soon.

There have been lots of things going on in Silver Class over the last few weeks. Miss Robinson has been setting us daily challenges.

We now have our own ‘planets’ that we belong to. The planet names are Pluto, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.  Our teachers give us planet points when we have made good choices with our work or behaviour.

On Friday it is Jeans for Genes day, and Pink day.  We can wear our jeans or something pink – don’t forget your silver coin donation.

On Thursday afternooon all of Year 2 went to Grimsby Leisure Centre to take part in a multi skills sports afternoon. We all had a great time. When we got there we were split into groups so we all got to have a go at each activity.  There were some Matthew Humbertone School pupils there to help us too.

Our P.E days are on a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Please do not wear earrings on these days, or ask a member of staff for P.E tape to cover them.

Please remember your book bag every day.

Try not to bring toys from home into school as they often get lost or broken. Miss Robinson will let you know when you can bring things in to show.

Our topic this term is ‘Myth and Magic’. We are going to be learning all about materials in Science, looking at and finding out lots of information about castles in History and ICT. We can’t wait to get stuck into our Art and DT projects. 

In our Classroom we have a home corner, which has a cooker, sink and sideboard. Miss Robinson says that  we can transform  it  into a magical castle. We are going to help design it too. Check back soon to see how the work is going!!

Welcome to Silver Class 2009’s Website!

We are all in Year 2, and are really looking forward to having a fantastic year!  Our teacher is Miss Robinson, who is going to help us keep our website upto date and help us to learn new things. Also in our Class we will have Mrs Dick, Mrs Robinson and Miss Smith to help us.

Come back and check up on us soon, especially as we will find out what our first topic of the year will be!
