Can you help?

Can you help?

As the new year begins, we are making essential changes to our school Nurture Room.  Our ELSA staff have been working tirelessly to create a calming, homely environment to create a safe space for our children.

We are looking for a fish tank (with equipment if possible) to help bring all areas of the space together.  If you are able to help, please contact the office so we can arrange collection/drop off and quarantine time.

We are so excited for you to see our new-look Nurture Room so keep an eye out for a post in the coming weeks with all the fantastic things we have to show.

Breakfast Allergy Information

14th September 2020J Little

Today saw the start of our much anticipated breakfast provision at Toner Avenue Primary School. Our breakfast elves worked tirelessly to provide every child with a healthy breakfast this morning; preparing bagels for 330 children is no small task!! Our kitchen team have been extremely helpful in ensuring the bagels are stored and cooked correctly so we’d just like to have a massive shout out to those guys; you’re amazing and thank you for all of your hard work in your already busy schedule.

Below is the allergen information for the bagels we have been provided by the National School Breakfast Programme. We hope you find this useful and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Breakfast Provision Starts MONDAY!!

11th September 2020J Little

We are so excited to announce our new breakfast provision will start on Monday 14th September!!

We are so lucky to be part of the National School Breakfast Provision that ensures every child is entitled to a breakfast bagel.  If you would like further information, please click here.

Free P.E. ( Thanks Jasmine)

As our school is a member of the Jasmine Platform, we have been given free access for parents to use at home with the kids. Keeping a healthy body and mind will be really important during the current climate.

real PE at home – online learning resources

real PE at home includes an online programme which supports families to be active, play and learn together.

Y2 First Aiders

10th March 2020s cox

Thanks to Miss Tait, Y2 had their first ‘First Aid’ session today.

We learned how to wash our hands correctly, including a song…ask us to sing it to you. It will help you to remember all the parts of your hands that need washing. We’ve been using the song in our regular hand washing times in school.

Then we learned how to help a friend when they had a nose bleed. Gloves on, head down and pinch their nose for 10 minutes.

Then we sorted items by whether they belonged in a first aid kit or not.

We can’t wait for our next session! Thanks Miss Tait for organising this for us!

 

Attendance Shop Success!

28th February 2020J Little

Our first ever attendance shop was a huge success! 

We were able to spend our attendance stars that we earned for each full week we were at school!  With 6 whole stars on offer, we had a range of fun and exciting items to choose from; hand puppets, slime, fancy rubbers, bouncy balls, the list was endless!

Some children made the VIP list for 100% attendance last half term, and some even made the VVIP list for 100% attendance since SEPTEMBER!  What an achievement!  

We had so much fun going to our attendance shop and we CAN NOT wait to go again!!

However, he is still nameless! The children from across the school have been busy thinking of name options & we have had a very hard time narrowing down the options, please help us decided on the final name by voting in the poll below:

Fabulous Questions

5th February 2020r king

Today in Y2RK, we gave Mr King and Miss Edwards a break from marking our work. We worked in small groups to compose some questions from different charts, for a different group to answer. We then marked their work to see if they got them right. We have really enjoyed our work on data handling, and can’t wait to see what topic we’ll be doing next in Maths.

Y2 Learn the Continents, Oceans and all about Kenya

13th January 2020s cox

As part of our Big Question, ‘How can we look after our world?’, the children have been learning the 7 continents and the 5 oceans.

 

They have asked me to put them online so they can practise them at home.

Warburtons Visit Y2

20th December 2019s cox

The fun never stops in Year 2. What a busy, exciting term we’ve had.

On Thursday, not only was it our party, we also had a visit from the lovely Gail from Warburtons. She taught us how they made bread at Warburtons on a large scale and about ‘healthy stuff’.

The children had a fantastic time, as you can see from the photos.

May we take this opportuity to thank all of the Y2 families for their support this term and have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
