The more imaginative the better. Go wild and be brave!

Years 2 and 4 will be raising the roof in the hall with their Morning of Music performances on Tuesday the 3rd at about 9.10. Friends of Howes are very kindly serving refreshments afterwards so please come and join us for what I'm sure will be a very enjoyable morning. 

The end of term is on Wednesday the 4th. 

Have a great holiday and enjoy the well deserved rest.

Topic information

Our topic this half term is all about France.

The children have been doing research using the following web site -

www.kids.nationalgeographic.com

They are going to use the information they have found to create their own leaflets and pamphlets in literacy over the next week.

Any more facts they discover and pictures they can find could be added to their work. 

Please bring anything relevant into school to enhance the children's learning. 

Many thanks.

Morning of Music

Year 2 took part in The Morning of Music at Howes on Friday 23rd March.

They looked very snazy in thier custom made head dresses.

We were joined by St. Thomas More, Grange Farm and Manor Park.

All the children sang a varity of songs all about transport and accompanied their singing with percussion instruments.

We all had a fabulous morning and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

World Book Day

These are photos of year 2 on World Book Day 2012.
It was very strange teaching Harry Potter and Buzz Lightyear.
The children wrote some fantastic stories imagining they were really their book characters.
They also used philosophy for children to decide whether or not Cinderella should have been able to go to the ball!
Mrs. Henshaw came in dressed as The Tiger who came to Tea and read her book to the class.
