• World Book Day

  Thu 21 Mar 2024 Miss Day

  We really enjoyed dressing up and sharing our favourite books in class for World Book day! In every class we created a door display based on the class teacher’s favourite book. We had a super time and can’t wait to celebrate World Book day next year!

  

• Author visit

  Thu 21 Mar 2024 Miss Day

  In Key Stage One we had an author visit us, her name is Mini Grey. Mini read us stories and we all had a drawing workshop with her as we found out she is also an illustrator!

  We had such a great time and really enjoyed listening to her stories! Thank you for coming Mini Grey.

  

• The day an Astronaut came to School

  Wed 10 Jan 2024

  Tuesday 9th January 2024

  “Neil Armstrong” came to visit

  As part of our history topic for this term – The First Moon Landing, we had someone come to visit us pretending to be Neil Armstrong. He told us lots of information about space and the Apollo 11 mission. He knew so much and answered all the questions we had. He taught us about all the different kinds of space craft and we had to work in a team to recreate the space craft, using our bodies. We learnt so much and had a really great time!

• Computing visit to the Library

  Mon 16 Oct 2023 Mrs Daubney

  This term, Year 2 have been exploring how we use technology in the real world. We have explored how it is used in school and then discussed the real world. We were lucky enough to visit the Junior School Library which uses a scanning and barcode system. This system allows children to scan out books and it can track who has which book. The children were able to use the scanner to practise scanning books and we discussed why this is useful technology. The children had a wonderful time! 

  

• Phonics and Reading Stay and Play

  Mon 16 Oct 2023 Mrs Daubney

  On Friday 13th October, Clarendon Infants parents came to join us for a stay and play! The session began with a short talk from Mrs Daubney (our KS1 Phase Lead and English Lead) who explained what Phonics is and how you can support your child’s reading. All the parents were then given the opportunity to go to their child’s classroom and explore different activities linked to Phonics and Reading.

   

  This was a brilliant event and it was wonderful to see so many parents join in! We are looking forward to the next one! 

   

   

  

• History Workshop – Mary Seacole

  Mon 25 Sep 2023 Mrs Daubney

  On Tuesday 19th September, year 2 had a history workshop where we learnt about why Mary Seacole was a significant person and her impact on modern nursing. We learnt that Mary Seacole had 4 beliefs about how to look after poorly people – medicine (she made her own from plants), good food, comfort (so her patients had comfy beds), and entertainment (she thought bored people wouldn’t get better very quickly so they were entertained with books and music). We had lots of fun learning about Mary Seacole and had to work as part of a team to make our bodies into shapes from part of her story.

  

• Harvesting the Allotment!

  Fri 15 Sep 2023 Mrs Daubney

  The last few weeks, we have been very excited to collect our produce from the allotment! The allotment was a fantastic addition to the school last year from proceeds from the Tesco Community collection. Every class had their own plot and were able to grow different vegetables. In our harvest, we have collected: carrots, parsnips, peas, beetroots and kale! It has been very exciting! The children have then been giving the opportunity to create their own meals with the vegetables - the vegetable soup was a real winner! We are excited to see what amazing produce the children produce this year! 

  

• Year 2 Leaver's Assembly

  Fri 21 Jul 2023 Mrs Daubney

  The Year 2 children were proud to perform their leaver's assembly to their parents on Thursday 20th July. They sang beautifully and performed some of their own memories and hopes for the future. We are sad to see you move on to your next school but we wish you luck in all your adventures! 

  

• Year 2 - 3 Transition

  Fri 14 Jul 2023 Mrs Daubney

  In Year 2, the children were invited to a sports afternoon at CJS on their field. They were in groups with Year 3 children who were able to act as role models for them. Throughout the afternoon, the Year 6 children modelled how to complete each activity. The children then moved through each activity and they had lots of fun! All the adults and children had a wonderful time and they are looking forward to the next one!
