Team Morris (Yr 2)

The benefits of the children going outside are huge.

• improve moods.
• reduce feelings of anxiety.
• helping them take time out and feel more relaxed.
• improve their physical health.
• improve their confidence and self-esteem.
• helps them become more active.
• Help build relationships with other children through play.

With the changeable warmer weather, the children will go outside as much as possible at break and lunchtimes. Please make sure that your child is prepared with the correct clothing whatever the weather.

'There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.'

We have a new core text in year 2 ... Beegu!

What a fabulous field trip Year 2 embarked on yesterday with a trip to the local Copse in Newington! Here, we explored plants that grow in our local area, such as Spanish bluebells, wild garlic, Lords and Ladies, ivy, brambles, sycamores, hawthorns and cherry blossom! Using a picture key, we went on a hunt to identify and name different wild plants, trees and flowers and even spotted some living creatures like butterflies, caterpillars and bees! Year 2 love Forest School!
