More Stanleys arrive in Phuket!

This week we received two parcels-one with 20 Flat Stanleys visiting us from Canada and the other with 18 Flat Stanleys visiting us from the UK. It was very exciting opening the parcels and we shared out the Stanleys so that each child is taking care of one. The Flat Stanleys that Year 2 have been making along with letters to go with them jumped into an envelope and were sent off for adventures too. We can't wait to hear back from them!


Six children from each class have taken their Flat Stanley home for the weekend along with an iPad to record their adventures onto a blog. The blogs already have some interesting posts - you can see them here.

We are still waiting for our Flat Stanleys to arrive from Australia!


On Wednesday there were some crazy and colourful costumes as we celebrated Book Day.
Well done Year 2 for making such a great effort to dress up!


 Can you guess which characters they are?

 The children all took on the role of their characters and worked in groups to create a story involving all of them which they acted out for us all to watch.

The children have been busy working in teams to solve problems this week. On Tuesday they worked to solve problems involving measuring and on Friday they worked in different teams to solve shape and number problems. These activities will continue all term with the problems becoming more complex. Before moving to the next problem the teams must explain their methods clearly.




Finally, congratulations to our Year 2 swimmers who performed amazingly at this weekends swim meet. We are very proud of you!
