Year 2 Victorian Day

Tue 25 Nov 2025 Jennifer Howell

👩‍🏫 Year 2 Victorian Day 👩‍🏫

This half term, the children in Year 2 will be learning about The Victorian Era. We will be exploring many of the differences between life then and now; especially those connected to children such as toys, clothes, homes and school life.

To enhance their understanding of a Victorian Classroom, we will be having a Victorian Day for children in Year 2 in school on:

Tuesday 25 November 2025

The children will be able to experience a different school day by writing on slate boards, reciting multiplication tables, sewing etc. The emphasis will be on having lots of fun exploring different activities not on the strictness of Victorian Times.

If your child would like to come to school dressed in Victorian style clothing this would be lovely but there is absolutely no obligation to do so. If your child prefers to wear the modern-day school uniform, that is fine.

Teaching staff will be dressed as ‘then and now’ too - one member of staff in each classroom will be dressed as a Victorian teacher, the other dressed as normal!

As usual, if there are any questions, please speak to a member of the Year 2 team.

Friendship & Kindness Week - 10-14 November 2025

Mon 10 Nov 2025

Friendship & Kindness Week

10-14 November 2025

Following on from the renaming of our annual ‘Anti-Bullying Week’ to ‘Friendship & Kindness Week’, (in order to focus more upon the positive behaviours that we are aiming to encourage from the children) I thought you might like some details about the organisation of the week.

We will still mark Anti-Bullying Week through the Jigsaw sessions taught, but our whole school display will focus upon friendship and kindness.

Our ‘Friendship & Kindness’ week will take place between Monday 10 – Friday 14 November 2025 to coincide with Anti-Bullying week dates.

Activities for the week

Assemblies – These will carry a friendship and kindness theme throughout the week, alongside listening to a song about friendship.
Jigsaw lessons - lessons will be covered during the week which will help to raise awareness and equip the children with an understanding as to how to identify and stop bullying from happening, alongside promoting kind behaviors.
School display – A friendship and kindness display, (which can be found in the corridor leading out to the playground), will be updated to celebrate our work carried out during the week.

Anti-Bullying Week 2025 – Parent Information Tool Pack

The Anti-Bullying Alliance provide a useful parent tool pack. Here is a hyperlink which takes you straight to this information; ABW Parent Tool Kit 2025 it contains lots of helpful tips about what to do if you’re worried about bullying, and provides you with tools that will help you to talk to your children about bullying.

Please note: Our Academy will not be organising the ‘Wear Odd Socks Day’ detailed within the parent pack.

We hope that the week will be a great success and that the children will gain a greater understanding of the impact that kind behaviour can have on everyone.
