Welcome!

Dear Parents/Carers,
You have found our new year two blog space. In this space we will be posting important information, relevant news updates and curriculum guidance. The purpose of this blog is to provide you with an interactive way of communicating with our year group team. If this blog is to be successful, it requires consistent participation and involvement from you. Its your blog, your opportunity to communicate and comment on events happening throughout your child's time in year two.This blog will be updated every Wednesday evening. But please feel free to add posts yourself, at any time. We look forward to developing this interaction throughout the year, however, if you do have a personal matter regarding your child please do not hesitate to contact your class teacher in person. It is not the intention of this blog to replace the all important home school relationship, but to add an extra dimension to this.We look forward to reading your comments.

The Year Two Team.

Our First "Big Draw" Event.


The Gants Hill Extended
School Partnership Arts Project.



Event One: MY IDEAL GANTS HILL.
(Environment, community and architecture.)

Wednesday 1st October 2008.



On Wednesday 1st of October, Gearies Infants School will be hosting an exploration into our local communities’ ideas of IDEAL environment, community and architecture. All members of the Extended School Partnership and local community will be welcome to come and participate by recording their ideas in doodle form.

In this event all participants will be encouraged to contribute their ideas around these three concepts onto a huge doodle. The hall floor will be covered in plain paper with Gants Hill roundabout identified in the middle of this vast space. From this point, all participants will be encouraged to communicate their ideas about ideal architecture and environments, and what “community” means in visual doodle forms. Can you draw your perfect ideal of community and shared space? The end product will look like one huge survey map but in fantastic doodle form illustrating our communities’ ideas around these important concepts. From the youngest child in our school family to Gants Hills’ older residents.

The event will only be a success if a wide variety of our community contributes.

If you are interested in joining in with this first project please contact me at Gearies Infants,
I look forward to hearing from you and meeting up on the day.

Dan Lea.
(Arts Coordinator @ Gearies Infants.)
