There were lots of happy smiley faces in year 2 today. The children had a fantastic first day back at school and impressed the Y2 staff with their lovely manners and their enthusiasm for learning. Lots of positive chart points were earned by everyone. #FirstDayOfSchool

We loved using the forest school area to generate ideas linked to our English work. We used what we could see, hear and feel so we could write exciting sentences linked to the setting of A River by E.g I can see the rough bark of a tired, old tree.

@PastProductions really brought our history unit to life today! The children loved dressing up as significant people to retell key events of The Gunpowder Plot. They also created fantastic pieces of art work using chalk and pastels. #RPHistory

Research from @EducEndowFoundn shows that collaborative learning has a big impact on children’s progress. Most importantly Year 2 find these approaches fun & engaging. Here are some of our class working collaboratively to solve place value problems in maths @pearson #powermaths
@Year2RobyPark Today in PE our aim was to explore and develop jumping, hopping and skipping actions.
Thanks @sports4champs Y2 loved the session delivered by Olympic bronze medalist Danny Purvis & ski racer Charlotte Holmes. The children were inspired by the assembly about dreaming big, working hard and staying positive. #Paris2024 might be too soon but #Brisbane2032 is possible

D.E.A.R (Drop everything and read) has been a great way for the children to take time out of the day to read, share and explore new books with their friends 📖📚 #RPReading
Y2 loved finding efficient ways of adding 2 digit & 1 digit numbers. One child said, “When I was using the tens frames I noticed that I can use number bonds to 10 to help work out 18+5. It was quick & is now 1 of my favourite methods.”💡 #RPMaths
@Year2RobyPark Today in PE our aim was to develop an understanding of dynamics and how they can show an idea. 🕺 💃
In English Y2 we’re given an illustration from their vehicle text and had lots of fun creating freeze frames imagining that they were in the picture. They then used clues from the book to predict what the story could be about. #readysteadywrite
Everyday @RobyParkSchool is memorable but in a pool on the playground is unforgettable. Thanks to @ELITE_Swim_UK Y2 built confidence in the water by floating on their backs and putting their faces in the water. They played lots of games and had fun!
Tomorrow is our annual @RockKidzUK Day which will be teaching the children a positive message about mental health, self esteem and wellbeing, Children can come dressed as rock stars or if they do not want to dress up they can wear their own clothes or uniform.
Thank you to all of the parents/carers who have attended our Progress Meetings this week. Staff have enjoyed meeting you & taking the time to discuss how your children are thriving. Your feedback is incredible & we really appreciate it. Thank you.
