The Circus Came to Chilcote
During our topic, The Circus is Coming to Town, we have learnt lots about circuses, both modern and old. Today we were lucky enough to take part in a fantastic workshop where we learnt lots of different skills used by real circus performers.
We tried out a range of exciting activities such as juggling with scarves and balls, playing with flower sticks, spinning plates and balancing on different things. We even became tightrope walkers!
At the end of the day we put on a show for each other - it certainly was the greatest show on earth!

World Book Day in Year 2
Year 2 have had a fantastic day celebrating World Book Day
today. We dressed up as characters from our favourite stories and some of us
brought our books in to share. If you came to year 2, you might have seen
Batman, Matilda, Pocahontas or even the BFG! We spent time finding out about
each other’s costumes and stories.
We also found out about nonsense poems and read a few
together. We have used actions and learnt the beginning of the poem ‘On the
Ning-Nang-Nong’ by Spike Milligan.
At the end of the day, we had an assembly taken by poet Jess
Green. She shared one of her poems with us and we found out a bit about what it
is like to be a poet.
We would like to take this opportunity to share with you
some of the poetry we have been writing in Year 2 this term, all on the theme
of the circus.

Circus Skills Day
As part of our new topic The Circus is Coming to Town, Year 2 have taken part in a Circus Skills Workshop.
Matt the jester came to school with all his circus toys and showed us how to use them. We learnt to juggle with scarves, walk on a tightrope and use flower sticks. Some of us even had a go on a unicycle! We remembered our value of the month, which is co-operation, and worked together to support each other.
In the afternoon, Matt showed us some of his tricks and skills and then we put on a performance for each other. We had a fabulous day!
