Year 2
Week Beginning 5th October 2026
Can you believe it is already October? September went by so quick!
We created some fantastic poetry last week all about Harvest to celebrate World Poetry Day. We used Christina Rossetti's poem 'Who has seen the wind?' as our stimulus and the children created their own poems in the same style about the sun or rain.
Nile class begin their Forest School sessions on Tuesday this week. Please remember to send your child into school in their PE kit on Tuesday for the next 3 weeks.
This year, instead of Parent Information Evenings, we have made a welcome video.
