http://www.bookmovies.tv/en/book/dark Laszlo is afraid of the dark. The dark lives in the same house as Laszlo. Mostly, though, the dark stays in the basement and doesn't come into Lazslo's room. But one night, it does. This is the story of how Laszlo stops being afraid of the dark.

'Welcome Aboard' Outcome

On Tuesday 22nd October we had our 'Welcome Aboard' project outcome. The children performed their Titanic dance that they had been learning with Becky in 'Movin Monkeez' and presented their posters where they had been working in teams to research an aspect about Titanic. The Year 2 team were very proud of the children's hard work and thank you to all the parents that came. Please see below some photos of our wonderful outcome.

Reading

Please read with your child as much as possible, every night would be great, but we do understand that sometimes this can be tricky. When you have read please write in your child's green book so we can see and this helps with the children receiving their reading certificates. Reading at home is really important to your child's reading development, when we read with the children we can tell the ones that have been practising and the ones that haven't. Reading is fundamental to everything, if you child struggles with reading they will find lots of the curriculum tricky as reading is everywhere!

PE days

Our PE days are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Please ensure your child has a full PE kit in school for these days. Please can you also ensure earrings are removed or your child is happy to take out their earrings by their themselves.

Tuesday is Movin Monkeez with Becky

Wednesday- Dragonfly PE with Mrs Martin / Firefly PE with Mr Creagh-Barry

Library

We aim to visit the library once a week, usually on a Thursday.
