In English we will be recounting our time in Year 2 and discussing our favourite things.

Another busy week as we start to draw towards the end of our Year 2 journey. This week the children wrote personal and heartfelt letters to their new Year 3 teachers. We will pass these on next week. It has been truly humbling and gratifying to read their letters which not only show how they have spoken from their hearts but also how their written work has come on this year. The transition morning went really well and they all came back to class buzzing about the things they will be doing next year. Back in year 2 we have continued to learn more about The Stone Age with an introduction to the village of Skara Brae. In art we created our own cave paintings of woolly mammoths and saber toothed tigers. Maths is consolidating our learning whilst focusing on trickier problem solving questions using subtraction and addition. In RE this term we have be contemplating special and sacred places thinking about where we and people of other religions go to contemplate, find peace and rest.

Another wonderful week was had by all! This week has been about exploring our Stone Age knowledge even further. In Art we used natural ingredients to make paint as the Stone Age People would. In English we discussed cave paintings and used descriptive language to imagine that we were inside a cave examining ancient drawings. And then our visit to the Ashdown Forest was a marvellous success and the children were a credit to the school. We had much fun learning how the forest was a suitable place for people to live and how they can trace evidence to people living there about 5000 years ago. We looked at artifacts made from local wood, stone and flint as well as animal skin used for clothing, bedding and shelter. We discussed how plants and wildlife were used for food and medicine as we reenacted being hunter gatherers. We then thought about how Stone Age people moved to different sites following food and the seasons so needed to make shelters along the way. We had to think about a site that was a suitable place to stay - view over hunting ground, shelter from the wind etc. And then we made the shelter out of what we could find in the forest. It definitely was a fun day out and the children had smiles on their faces all day! Thank you again for those of you who accompanied us on the day, we couldn't have these adventures without you.

We are now looking ahead to our class trip to Ashdown Forest on Thursday. It looks like the weather is going to be warm so please remember to apply sun cream before the children arrive at school.

Despite the chilly weather we have been busy this week with lots of summer term activities. We started the week decorating our pebbles and flower pots for the sensory garden and yesterday the children had an opportunity to see the fruits of their efforts. Next year when they are in Year 3 they will get the full benefit of this lovely quiet part of the key stage 2 playground. We have also been practising for next week's Sports Day events. Please look at the details below so you are up to date on what is going on next week sport-wise. The rest of the curriculum is still continuing: We have now begun 'Stone Age Boy' and the children loved miming as a Stone Age person meeting a modern day person. We have also been looking at some interesting facts about the Stone Age and how humans would use what they found on the land to feed, cloth and shelter them.

Important information:

Sports Week next week: Please remember the children may come into school in Sports clothes all week (no football shirts/kit please) including trainers. On WEDNESDAY 19TH however children must come in their PE kit with the correct house shirt. Key Stage 1's Sports Day will start at 9:15 am on the field.

Transition to Year 3

As you are aware we are fast approaching the end of Year 2 and the children will be meeting their new teachers later this term. With that in mind may we remind you that the classes will be mixed and divided into two new classes for years 3 and 4. To make this a smooth process we ask the children to choose 3 friends that they would like to be with in their new class. We try to accommodate this as much as possible and will guarantee at least one of these choices. We are asking you therefore to please start to have conversations with your child regarding this. Next week we will be asking them to make their three (confidential) choices. The year 2 team will then formulate a list of the new class cohort in time for transition morning with their new teachers. If you have any queries regarding this please speak to your class teacher in the first instance.

Friday 7th June 2024

It's been a lovely return for our final term in Year 2. In particular on 6th June the children were curious and respectful when we were talking about D Day. We have now started our new topic of Stone Age as we learn about Homo Sapiens and the three Stone Age periods. In English next week we will begin looking at Stone Age Boy to consolidate our understanding. Maths we are looking at statistics including tally charts, bar charts and pictograms. Next week some children will undertake the phonic screening test. If this is your child could you please look at the details below for more information.

Phonic Screening

Next week is the Phonics screening test which is a statutory requirement for Year 1 and any year 2 children who missed it in Year 1. Please make sure your child is in school everyday next week so they can take the test.

The children have all been involved in mock tests which is administered 1:1 in a quiet space so they know what to expect and have been very calm about it. There will be opportunities for some to take breaks during the test so it is not demanding or stressful. Without breaks, it takes about ten minutes for a fluent reader to read the forty real and nonsense words. The results will be with your child's school report. There are mock tests available online if you wish to take a look to see the expectations of which the children are very familiar with so please do not worry.

Your child has got this!

For your information, please visit this gov website and doc which will give you all the parental information you need. Also, please visit SHF Phonics curriculum page for support and how to say the sounds. You can also speak with us if you have any questions about the test.

The children have worked really hard on their phonics in various interventions during school and after as well as in their phonics lessons. The progression is astounding! We are all very proud of their hard work, positive attitude and dedication.

The children were so amazing and performed so calmly and confidently. It is such an important milestone begin able to perform in front of an audience and they all did themselves credit.

First, I would like to say Hello! My name is Elliott Stevens, and I am the owner of Swim Stars South East and founder of Heathfield Swim School. I am also one of the teachers that are now delivering swimming lessons and a new swimming programme to your children at the school. I just wanted to spend some time to give you all a quick update regarding the progress of your children this year to date. So far, the last two terms that me and my team have been delivering lessons at the site we have seen a huge increase in water confidence, technique, and swim skills so to everyone who has been participating I just want to say a HUGE WELL DONE, you are making excellent progress.

A small overview on what we have been doing:

Reception – Have been working on building Water Confidence, introducing Movement Skills and learning to stay safe in the water.

Year 1 – Have been improving water confidence and introducing leg kick on front and back. Also working on swim skills such as floating and push and glides.

Year 2 – Have been working on developing stroke leg kick and introducing arm actions. We have also worked on Push and Glides, Flotation and a range of swim skills.

Year 3 – Have been introduced to all four stroke kicks and are developing arm action/technique. We have also introduced forward rolls, backwards rolls, submersion and handstands.

Year 4 – Have been working on improving all four-stroke leg and arm actions, we have also introduced breathing + swim skills such as sculling and handstands.

Year 5 – Have been working on all four strokes breathing and timing. We have also worked on swim skills this term improving handstands, forward rolls, backward rolls and movement shapes.

Year 6 – Have been working on improving technique across all strokes, improving swim fitness and developing stamina.

We will be adding in a Water Safety element to all classes over the next two terms to include personal survival skills, lifesaving skills and how to stay safe when in and around the water. I look forward to seeing you all continue with the great progress and want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Term 3 - Friday 3rd February 2023

We have had an exciting end to our week with the 'big burn' of our own Great Fire of London models. The children discussed how the fire started, what materials their models were made of and the weather conditions in September 1666 compared to today. We then went outside with Mr Strand to recreate the streets of London. We grouped the houses into streets of 8-10 houses and waited. It didn't take too long before we spotted smoke appearing amongst the 'timber framed' building and not before long flames began to appear. Many of us were surprised at how quickly the fire took hold and before long all that remained were the smouldering ashes. Afterwards we all made our way to the outdoor classroom to reflect on our experience and how we thought the people of 1666 would have felt.

Friday 22nd October

Friday 24th September 2021

Week ending Friday 11th September 2021

Welcome to the first newsletter of this academic year. We all hope you have had a restful summer and are ready for this next chapter.
It is always a daunting prospect starting a new year with an unfamiliar class room and new routines to navigate. For most there have been new teachers or teacher assistants to get to know but the children have adapted brilliantly. In particular we would like to welcome the new children who have started with us this term, they have been amazing and although understandably nervous on day one they have settled really well and are already making friends and learning the Fermor routines. Well done everyone for making them so welcome!

In class we have started to reacquaint the children with their new timetable and curriculum:

English

We began the week by talking about our summer holidays and sharing with the class where in the United Kingdom we have travelled to. The children then identified on a map where they had been and wrote a few sentences about their summer. This links well with our Geography topic but also consolidated the UK work they did last year. We have also been introduced to the Katie Morag stories. The children were able to predict what they thought would happen in the first story ‘Katie Morag Delivers the Mail’ and as part of their guided reading lessons we were identifying and clarifying the meaning of new words in the text. We also revisited nouns and adjectives as we began to described the Isles of Struay. Next week we will continue to explore the books of Katie Morag and develop our knowledge of nouns and adjectives eventually moving on to expanded noun phrases later in the term.

Maths

This week has all been about consolidating the children’s place value knowledge. We have had lots of fun with manipulatives including diens bricks and bead strings trying to find new and innovative ways to make two digit numbers. We have also been reminding ourselves how to count in twos, fives and tens. At the end of the week we began to work as a whole class looking at how to read a variety of Maths questions. Next week will be focusing on assessing what they have remembered from last year and this will inform the planning for the remainder of the term.

Science

We had fun in the sun this week as we began our topic of living things and their habitats. We went out into our wooded area to explore what living things, dead things and none living things we could find and then sorted them into categories back in our classrooms. We had much fun trying to decide whether a feather was living or dead or if a twig was dead once it fell off the tree. Next week we will continue this theme and will examine some of the different habitats of animals and plants.

Geography

We began this term's topic Time Team by comparing the aerial views of Crowborough and the Isle of Coll which is the inspiration for Katie Morag's Isle of Struay. We used Google Earth to find Crowborough and had fun trying to find the school and All Saints Church which we had been to that morning. The children also challenged themselves to remember the four countries that make up the UK.

Swimming

Please make a note to look at the letter regarding swimming. Children will need to bring in their swimming costume/shorts, hat, towel and goggles (if the children wish). The first lesson is with 2M on Tuesday 14th September. (2J will be the following week). If you are able to volunteer to support and help with this please can you let the office know.

Walk into Crowborough - Wednesday 22nd September from 1:30pm

Finally we have sent you a letter regarding the year 2 walk into Crowborough as part of this term's topic. We would really appreciate some helpers to support us and the children as they walk into and back to town. Please could you let your class teacher or the office know as soon as possible if you are able to help us in this regard.

The children have worked really hard this week so we hope that they and you have a lovely weekend and we look forward to seeing you back in school on Monday.

Best wishes

The Year Two Team.

Year 2 have been very busy this week! We have finished our marvellous wheeled vehicles, following our plan carefully. Thank you for all the junk bought in so that the children could achieve their creation! We have also been able to watch the James and the Giant Peach film to sum up our learning in English this term! We had an exciting visit from author David Fuller and had a snippet of one of his stories, starring the main character Alfie Jones!

Friday 9th July

As you know, we have had our sports week this week and we have had a fantastic time taking part in various sporting activities! We started the week with the Sussex games on the field, learning and trying different games like 'under and over' and a assault course challenge! We then had a HIIT workout in the hall. On Wednesday it was our swimming gala, which was a fantastic event and everyone tried really hard! Finally we ended the week with our sports day and the daily mile challenge!

We are beginning our exciting DT project next week, can we kindly ask for your child to be sent into school with a variety of junk modelling materials to create their vehicle!

English

This week we have continued with part to of the story Lakshmi and the Washerwoman. We had a go at clarifying any words we did not know by ourselves and noting these down to look up in a dictionary later. We then wrote a couple of our own comprehension questions, predicted what the sequel to this story might be and then summarised what had happened. We also had a go at sequencing the story.

Maths

We have been continuing subtracting a 1-digit number from a 2-digit number using number-lines and then solving the problems mentally using the column subtraction method. We have also learnt how to tell the time to quarter to the hour.

History

We have been learning about some 20th century explorers: Jessica Watson, David de Rothchild and Ellen MacArthur. We looked at their early life and their exciting explorations! We then wrote about our favourite 20th century explorer and why.

Geography

We have been diving deeper into the continent of Asia, by learning about the country India. We found India on the globe and then learnt about ways of life in India and looked at some pictures. After that, we wrote about some similarities between India and a country in Europe using conjunctions.
