Year 2 Summer 1 Focus Text

1st May 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

During the next half term, our Year 2 focus text will be Cinderella by Susanna Davidson and illustrated by Lorena Alvarez.

This classic fairy tale, specially retold for young children and illustrated with fresh, bright pictures and is a delightful book to explore as a class. As the known fairytale goes, poor Cinderella is made to cook and clean for her stepsisters and her wicked stepmother won’t even let her go to the Royal Ball. But then, in a flurry of sparkles, her Fairy Godmother arrives and everything changes…

Return to school 8th March 2021

2nd March 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

24.2.21

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are very happy to be able to welcome all the children back to school on Monday March 8th on a full-time basis. Unfortunately, we still have to adhere to the same restrictions that were in place previously in order to keep yourselves, children and staff safe and help to prevent the rise of infection from Covid -19. 

This does mean we will still have staggered start and end times, (unless you have siblings in school, on which case you bring all children at the start time of your earliest child and collect all children at the latest finish time so that no learning time is missed).

It is important that only one parent brings their child/children to school to reduce the amount of people coming to school. This will ensure we can keep to social distancing measures in place as best as possible. It is vital that parents do not congregate around school premises when dropping off or collecting children as doing so could potentially increase the risk of transmission of the virus. We are very grateful for your support and understanding.

Please see the table below for start and end times together with their entrance for your child’s year group.

African Art

26th November 2020Miss K. Wilkinson
This half term in Year 2, the children are exploring the rich, vibrant colours and patterns associated with African Art. They will study art throughout native tribes and make and decorate masks and water jars as well as recreate the beautiful African landscapes at sunset.
This week, we are paying close attention to the Maasai culture and their amazing homemade jewellery. Look how intricate  our pattern making is as we build our own collection of African headbands, bracelets and necklaces.

Anti Bullying Week 2020

20th November 2020Miss K. Wilkinson

This week to recognise Anti-Bullying Week at West Boldon we had an Odd Socks Day!

It was a great way to celebrate what makes us all different and to encourage people to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique! Here are some colourful socks worn by our Year 2 children.

Years 2, 3 and 4 also participated in an online workshop offered by staff at the OpenZone. The children learned what cyber-bullying is, when it occurs, how to reduce their risk of being bullied online and how to support others who have been or are being subjected to cyber-bullying.

“It taught me to be kind online” – Kaiden

“It taught me that playing games that are too old for me because I will be playing with adults and might be more at risk of cyber-bullying” – Codey

“If I was cyber-bullied it would make me feel sad” – Megan

“I can show people respect online by understanding they have different ideas” – Bubacarr

Further up the school in Year 6, Class 12 took part in activities to understand Anti-Bullying Week 2020. They had great discussions about bullying, the victim and perpetrator and empathy. Here is some of their fantastic work:
