One week to go!
A few reminders:
*The children will need a strong bag to take their work and exercise books home on Friday; this will ensure that none of the brilliance will get ruined!
*Remember it is party time on Monday afternoon- if the children wish to change into their party clothes they will be provided with the opportunity to change after lunch.
*We will be collecting the children's reading and library books towards the end of the week to ensure that they are all back before the end of the year. However, we are encouraging the children to continue reading at home wherever and whenever they can.

Celebration Assembly
Thank you to all of you who came to share our brilliance in yesterday's special assembly. It was a fantastic opportunity to let the children sparkle and shine and show you all just how brilliant they are! It shows that if you believe it you can achieve it.
Well done Class 2 for all your groovy dance moves to our favourite song at the end of assembly; you made me a very proud teacher!
Miss Fox
Reports and Key Dates
It was fantastic to see the children so keen in sharing their thoughts about their reports and discussing with me how they felt about various moments of brilliance, which has taken place throughout the academic year. It was an absolute pleasure to write the reports as it was an opportunity for me to reflect on what a wonderful year the pupils have had, which has seen all of them reach their personal learning targets both in and out of the classroom. Go Class 2!
I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that our celebration assembly is being held tomorrow at 2.15pm in the hall... Both the children and I are extremely excited to share the brilliance and have a small surprise for parents/carers. Another important date is Monday 13th July when you have the chance to meet your child's new teacher!
A big thank you for your continued support over the year and even though we only have a short time left in Class 2 I am sure we can fit a few more moments of brilliance in!

Fishy Fun!
This week the children will be focusing on the story of Rainbow Fish. In our English lesson today we used the opportunity to become familiar with the text and the children used their Talk for Writing skills to consolidate their understanding. by acting out sequence of key events. Later on this week the children will be using the knowledge of the story to compare the personality of Rainbow Fish and how he learned to share and being a kind, friendly fish.
Keep up the brilliance Class 2!

Wonderful Weighing
The focus in our maths lessons this week has been on weight. The children had lots of opportunities to consolidate their understanding and knowledge through practical activities throughout the week. The children particularly enjoyed Friday's lesson when they made yummy cakes!

Practising Sports Day!
Class 2 had lots of fun this afternoon practising for Sports Day; they were provided with the opportunity to not only practise their running skills but also to peer and self-assess so they could improve and get an even faster time. I can't believe how quickly you all could run- you were nearly flying down the track . I had so much fun at racing you all this afternoon and next lesson I will make sure I have my trainers with me!
Keep shining and sparkling with brilliance Class 2!

Welcome Back! Let The Brilliance Begin Again...
Welcome back Class 2! It is lovely to see your cheeky faces and even better to see that you are ready for your final burst of brilliance in Class 2. As always, we were impressed with your positive learning attitude and working as a team.
Class 2 had a lovely afternoon in RE and DT as they designed their very own memory garden and used their knowledge of looking after the environment to support their ideas for rules that they would like to put in place.
Keep going superstars!

Minion Madness!
WOW! What an eventful week Class 2 have had. We had lots of fun decorating our minion cakes and made sure we concentrated when using the icing pens. After being invaded by a mob of minions today I think we are all 'minioned out'! Well done to all of you for being so positive about your learning this week and I know so many of you have thoroughly enjoyed all the creative activities that have taken place.
We have been bursting with pride this half term because you have been bursting at the seam with BRILLIANCE! Both of us are so proud of all your achievements over this half term and you should be too!
We hope you have a fabulous half term (please remember to not come in on Monday 1st June as it is a training day for teachers) and can't wait to hear all your news. Remember to be safe and have lots of fun!

The Magical Key
When Class 2 arrived in the classroom this morning they were greeted with lots of glitter on the carpet and a very special box that was sitting on the carpet in the sunlight. After a class discussion on what we thought would be in the box we decided to be brave and open it! To our surprise, there was a glistening key in it and we were all curious about where it had come from. We all had wonderful ideas and used the key as a stimulus to write an exciting, magical adventure for our chosen characters in a story.
Well done to all of you for writing such super stories! We were really impressed when we were reading them at lunchtime. Class 2 you never cease to amaze me with the brilliance you produce .
Have a lovely weekend and we will see you on Monday when we start our fun packed week of Wyburns at the Movies.

Wonderful Wat Tyler Park!
Wow! What a fun packed day Class 2 have had today. We took part in lots of activities to expand our knowledge about plants and flowers and had lots of fun! We were thrilled at your positive attitude to all the activities throughout the day and thought you behaved like superstars .
We hope you had lots of fun too and are ready for some brilliant learning tomorrow. Well done again for being amazing Class 2!
Miss Fox and Mrs Lee
Wat Tyler Park
Not long until we go on our little adventure to Wat Tyler Park. We are extremely excited to learn new and wonderful facts about plants and we hope you are too!
A few reminders:
* Remember to bring a packed lunch, preferably in a carrier bag so you can throw it away.
* Also, it looks like we are in luck and the weather will be kind to us so please make sure you bring plenty of water, a sun hat and have applied suntan lotion on before you arrive at school because we will be outside all day.
* Finally, all pupils will be allowed to wear whatever they would like on the bottom- we would suggest tracksuit bottoms but children will be asked to wear their PE tops so if you haven't taken them home we will have chance to put them on before we leave school in the morning.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend Class 2!
Miss Fox and Mrs Lee
Tuesday 5th May 2015
Welcome back! We hope you had a fun and exciting extra long weekend. It was great to hear all the wonderful things you had been up to over the weekend with your family and friends. I loved your posters in PSHE about the importance of money... You all had some great ideas on what is essential to buy with money and things that we simply want.
Remember that our school trip is on Monday 11th May so if you haven't already done so, please remember to bring in your money and permission slip. We can't wait for all the exciting activities at Wat Tyler Park! Due to recent weather, please remember to back suitable clothing and shoes as you can't predict what the wonderful British weather will do on the day!

What an exciting investigation we had this morning! The pupils used their knowledge of 3D shapes to guess what shape that their net would make... It was very exciting and there were a few surprises. You all produced wonderful 3D shapes, which included cubes, square based pyramids and cuboids.
We hope you have a wonderful weekend and get ready to be bursting with brilliance next week, especially with our celebration assembly on Thursday.

Question time!
This week in our English lessons we are focusing on emotive language. Using our knowledge from last week's lesson we continued to use Jack and the Beanstalk as our stimulus and brainstormed how various characters would feel in different parts of the story. We had lots of fun with our homemade microphones when we pretended to be an interviewer and the big, scary giant!
Excellent work Class 2... Keep up the brilliance!
Miss Fox and Mrs Lee
Friday 17th April 2015
Ball Skills
In PE today we focused on different ways we could throw the ball to our partner. We had lots of fun coming up with creative ways to pass it to our friends. It was a real treat to be able to do our PE lesson outside and in the sunshine!

Dazzling Data
Well done Class 2 for being awarded the 100% attendance certificate . Today in maths Class 2 focused on data handling. We decided to link it to our creative theme of All Creatures Great and Small by going on an exciting hunt for mini beasts in the school's woods. We found lots of ants and a couple of cute ladybirds... Miss Fox wasn't so happy when some of you found some spiders! Once we had gathered our data we interpreted it by putting it into a pictogram. Well done Class 2... You are data handling superstars!
Lets make our final week of the spring term full of brilliance! You can do it!

Full Moon, half Moon... Total eclipse!
What an amazing morning Class 2 and the rest of the Wyburns had. It was a very exciting experience to be part of the eclipse event...

Later on in the morning Class 2 watched videos on BBC news of the eclipse in other parts of the country and other countries around world.

Class 2 were very lucky to spend the whole afternoon investigating about light and we were joined by some special guests...Class 4! We had a fun afternoon going round the different activities and even learned some really cool words such as opaque, transparent and translucent.

Thank you for all of you who have spent time coming up with some creative ways to read a book. The extreme reading competition ends next week so get your photos in! A big well done to those pupils who managed to get to our funky reading planet- remember you only have to read for short bursts each day to zoom your rocket to the planet and earn yourself five pebbles.

Big Write Cinderella Style!
Today Class 2 had a bit of a shock! Mrs Lee acted as the evil boss and all the pupils took the role of Cinderella. After that, we discussed as a class how we felt about what had happened, which gave us a better understanding of how Cinderella would feel on a daily basis. Next, we spoke about different features of a diary entry to help us to be successful in our independent writing.
Well done Class 2- we are extremely impressed with the quality of your writing.
Miss Fox and Mrs Lee
Chris and Sue Govus
As some of you may know, Chris and Sue are a much loved Christian couple who have been hosting assemblies for over 25 years! Their passion and love of life is infectious; with exciting songs and clear messages it is no wonder the children enjoy their assemblies.
Unfortunately, Chris and Sue are retiring. As a thank you Wyburns will be composing a Good Luck book, where each class will be writing messages to say ‘Thank You’. The couple have been hosting assemblies for many years, with many parents remembering them when they were at school. If you would like to contribute to our Wyburns Book please pass messages to Miss Fox or Mrs Lee no later than Tuesday 10th March.
Best wishes,
Miss Fox and Mrs Lee

Hunting For Mini Beasts!
Due to the cold weather last week, we were unable to go pond dipping as the pond had frozen over (much to Miss Fox's disappointment!)... But the pupils of Class 2 still had a smile on their faces because we went into the woods and looked for mini beasts and discussed their habitats.
What a magical Monday Class 2 have had!

Something very strange happened today in Class 2 when we were having our history lesson. While Miss Fox was teaching us about how circus transport has evolved through the years something popped up on the interactive white board.... Alex from Madagascar! He gave us a super challenge, which was to design our own transport to get the circus animals to Rayleigh as quickly as possible.
We had lots of fun and even included a cool gadget to make our invention unique
Our surprised faces...
Arsenal Football Training session.
Today we were lucky enough to polish up our football skills
with two coaches from Arsenal Football Club.
We had a brilliant time and Miss Fox and Mrs Lee were very impressed with our skills.
Monday 26th January 2015
Monday Funday!
What a fantastic morning Class 2 have had. We spent the first part of the morning designing our circus animal and decorated our design using the traditional Aboriginal technique of dotting.
Here are a few of our designs.
Once we had designed our colourful, dotty animal pictures we then tackled the clay! We all had lots of fun (including Mrs Lee!)
A few reminders...
* Remember to bring your library books in on Thursday so you can swap your current book with a new one.
* I am delighted to share with you that we will be going on an exciting adventure in our science lesson next week (pond dipping!) so please bring in your wellies.
* Finally, can I remind you that our PE lessons are on Wednesdays and Fridays so please make sure you have your PE kits in school as practising and performing circus balances and skills don't work so well in uniform!

Choc-tastic Friday!

Wednesday 21st January 2015
Good afternoon Class 2!
I have been blown away with the amount of brilliance that you have shown Mrs Lee and I so far this week. I really enjoyed looking through your traditional Aboriginal stories using symbols on Monday and was extremely impressed with the way you used your knowledge and understanding from previous lessons to be successful.
Well done to all of you for working so hard in your English lessons this week. I know our focus on onomatopoeia has been tricky but you have risen to the challenge and produced some wonderful poetry. I hope Class 2 go out with a BANG this week!

Tuesday 6th January 2015
Welcome back Class 2. Mrs Lee and I are extremely impressed with the work you have produced so far this week- you are all BURSTING WITH BRILLIANCE!
We had an exciting PSHE lesson where we looked at different feelings that people may feel in a variety of situations. Check out our empathy glasses that we designed to emphasise looking at a situation from different perspectives.
Let the brilliance continue....

Children In Need Super Hero Day
Well done to Class 2 for dressing up as your favourite Super Hero. Here is a picture of a few Super Heroes holding the Brilliance Cup that we won on Friday.
Miss Fox and Mrs Lee think we are real life Super Heroes!
Friday 7th November 2014
First of all I would like to congratulate everyone in class 2 for showing excellent behaviour around school and winning the Brilliance Cup! You are all superstars and I am extremely proud of you.
Our focus in our English lessons has been on the story of Matilda by Roald Dahl. First we described the different characters using adjectives, similes and alliterations and we then moved on to write to Mr and Mrs Wormwood (Matilda's parents) telling them how unacceptable their behaviour was towards their daughter. I must say I was very impressed with your letters to her; with many of you using imperative verbs. Good job class 2!
The fun in class 2 didn't stop there, as our maths lessons were just as exciting! We used a range of techniques (including using yummy smarties) to help us understand and find fractions in shapes and quantities.
I wish you all a lovely weekend- lets see if class 2 can win the Brilliance Cup next week...
Miss Fox
Friday 10th October 2014
In our English lesson our focus was following and writing instructions. At the beginning of the week we learnt how to sequence instructions and progressed throughout the week to writing our own. To make our instructions successful we used "bossy verbs" and "time connectives".
Finally fun Friday arrived and we followed the instructions we had written to make our own jam sandwiches. We had lots of fun and really enjoyed eating the end result.
Monday 6th October 2014
KS1 had a surprise on this wet Monday morning as they had a very special visitor who came to see them....a policeman. They found out the different types of equipment the police carry with them, the different roles they do and even had a go at finger printing.
Friday 3rd October 2014
Here are our fabulous fruit faces that we created!
Once again I want to thank all of you for working super hard in every lesson this week
Well done for your fabulous fruit drawings in our art lesson, which was inspired by the famous artist Arcimboldo. You produced some wonderful work using the oil pastels and it looked really effective on black sugar paper. I can't wait to see the finished masterpiece next week!
Miss Fox
We have had an exciting week this week learning about different superheroes. I was really impressed with your wanted poster trying to catch the villain that messed up our classroom!
Remember to bring your reading passport with you to school as you will receive a certificate when you reach a destination.
Well done class 2 for working super hard this week; I am proud of you all!
Miss Fox
Welcome back class 2!
