What a wonderful start we’ve had in 2CN! The children have settled in brilliantly and we’ve had a fun-filled, creative and engaging first week together.

We kicked off our learning with the story The Colour Monster, a beautiful tale that helps children understand and talk about their emotions. The class was absolutely hooked! We learnt the model text together, adding our own fun actions to help us remember the story.

Taking it a step further, the children used their imaginations to write their own additions to the story — creating new emotions and linking them to different colours. It was inspiring to see such thoughtful and expressive writing so early in the year!

In art, we continued exploring emotions through creativity. The children loved working collaboratively, using a range of materials to represent each emotion visually. From textured collage to bold brushstrokes, each piece was unique and meaningful.

We’re so proud of how well everyone has started the year — we can’t wait for what’s to come!
