Christmas in year 2
The KS1 Christmas Party is on Thursday and everyone is really looking forward to it.
KS1 Nativity 2013
The KS1 production 'The Sleepy Shepherd' hit the stage at Peel Brow for 2 performances last week. The children and staff all worked incredibly hard to make the show a great success.
Special mentions must go to Miss Burke who coordinated the nativity and made it all possible! Mrs Booth who organised and made the costumes and Miss Baines who took care of the technical stuff! (Music and PowerPoint!). Also, big thanks to parents for helping the children to learn their lines and assisting with costumes. Most importantly, a HUGE thanks to all the children who performed, sang and danced like Hollywood superstars. You were GREAT!!!

Fun Phonics!!
The children continue to work in small phonics groups each morning, working on different phonic phases.
Mrs Mellors devised some wonderful, creative Christmas themed phonics sessions for her group.
Christmas Cards for Europe
Last week the children in year 2 created Christmas cards to be sent to our partner schools in Spain, Romania and Poland. They enjoyed learning how to write 'Merry Christmas' in different languages.
Looking for News - Issue 2 (November)
The second edition of our collaborative European magazine is now available to view online. All children will receive their own printed copy to take home later in the week.
Peel Tower Collage
Look closely at Alfie's Peel Tower collage. It must have taken ages to create it with tiny squares of paper. The tower was made out of lots of small pictures of the tower. Great job Alfie!!!
Night Poetry
The children produced wonderful night themed poems - look out for them on display in the school hall.

Welcome Mrs Williams!!
Year 2 are very lucky to have Mrs Williams teaching them until Mrs Lynchey returns. :-)
Blog updates...
Thanks to Miss Baines and Mrs Blundy who have agreed to take pictures of the class at work, homework, projects and displays, etc. in my absence. They will then send these to me at home so I can still update the blog regularly :-)
Don't forget, if you have some good news or photographs that you would like to share with the class then send them to me at:

Many thanks,

Happy 21st Birthday
Our lovely teaching assistant, Miss Baines, celebrated her 21st birthday last Monday and we showed our appreciation for all of her help in year 2.
What a kind and caring school!!
I want to say a huge thank you to everyone from school for their messages of support. I have received lots of very kind emails to our class gmail account from children and parents wishing me a speedy recovery and this has really helped to keep my spirits up!! I even got this wonderful picture message from Fearne and Jay...
Thank you so much for thinking of me, I miss you so much too and I can't wait to see you all!!! :-) X
Still making me proud :-)
I was so pleased to receive a message from Mr Mellor telling me that the whole of year 2 had been awarded 'Star of the Week' for continuing to work really hard and be brilliantly behaved in my absence. Well done and keep it up!!! :-)

A different kind of trip!!
Tuesday was meant to be a great day with a year 2 trip to the local heritage centre and library...however things didn't go to plan when Mrs Lynchey had a different kind of trip....
Waiting on the ambulance, being kept warm by the lovely Peel Brow staff!
But don't worry Mrs Lynchey is already on the road to recovery and even managed a smile and thumbs up in A&E :-)

Children in Need 2013
On Friday the children and staff at Peel Brow were invited to 'Show their Spots' to raise money for Children in Need.
Thank you to everyone for their super effort dressing up and very kind donations!!
Year 1 Instructions
Year 1 and Year 2 enjoyed working together again this week.
The children in year 1 have been working on an 'Instructions' unit in literacy lessons and they had to follow step-by-step instructions to teach children in year 2 how to make a ladybird puppet, after making one for themselves the previous day. The children worked brilliantly together and the y1s were so confident and helpful! It was also excellent to hear the y2s telling the y1s about sequencing words and bossy verbs and they had clearly remembered a lot from our own Instructions unit earlier in the term.
Thank you very much to Miss Burke, Mrs Booth, Mrs Mahmood and the year 1 children for all their hard work - we really enjoyed working with you!! The ladybird puppets are fab and weren't too hard to make with your clear instructions and help.
Year 2 xx
