Second Year - Autumn Term Activities<br />
Baking<br />
We enjoyed making delicious apple<br />
pies with apples from our very own<br />
school garden.<br />
Bear Hunt<br />
In September, the 2nd Years enjoyed a visit to<br />
Orton Woods. We marched around the woods<br />
hunting for bears who were hiding!<br />
Science<br />
This term the 2nd Year children have been carrying out several science<br />
investigations. In our first half term we explored the human body and our senses.<br />
Thinking of others<br />
- Christmas Cards<br />
to Linden Lodge<br />
Residents<br />
We have sent cards to local care<br />
homes, our local elderly, <strong>Twycross</strong><br />
Zoo and local support services such<br />
as the Fire Station in Bosworth. We<br />
hope that the children’s creations<br />
will put a smile on people’s faces<br />
and cheer the hearts of every one<br />
who receives a card.<br />
Wellbeing<br />
This year, as part of the overall<br />
Mental Health and Emotional<br />
Wellbeing programme, we have<br />
introduced Yoga and Mindfulness<br />
classes for the children. The aim is<br />
to improve the children’s strength,<br />
motor skills and balance, whilst,<br />
at the same time, enhancing their<br />
focus and concentration. Each<br />
session typically includes breathing<br />
exercises, a Cosmic Kids adventure<br />
and guided relaxation meditation.<br />
Diwali<br />
We have been learning about the<br />
festivals of light including Diwali,<br />
Hanukkah and Christmas.<br />
A Special, virtual<br />
visit from Father<br />
Christmas<br />
