What a lovely time we had singing WW2 songs and sharing a picnic soon the school field at lunchtime today, to commemorate 80 years since VE Day.
After posing for a whole school photo, it was time for a bit of fun, with some dancing and singing some more recent tunes!
We took a moment to thank those who gave their lives for us today.

Year 2 had the opportunity to visit a local church to see in real life some of the things they have been learning about in their R.E. lessons. Despite the heat, we arrived at the church. We learnt about why this was a Christian prayer space and identified religious symbols and artefacts. Then we did a carousel of activities based on the Easter story to help us see how Christians can use prayer. We were all very respectful and had a great time!

Using the skills we had practised, 2P created a first draft of their self-portraits. They then reflected and critiqued their work and then did one more final draft. What a huge improvement! Well done to 2P for demonstrating their perseverance and observational skills. We can’t wait to see our creations added to our final product!

2P had a great week doing different activities to launch our new expedition – North, South, East and West: Where could your journey take you? We turned our phase into a mini-airport and we prepared ourselves to go on a journey. We all brought our boarding passes to take us on journeys all over the world. We prepared our passports and wrote down the clothes we would need to pack in our suitcases. We then boarded the plane and prepared for our flight! In English, we made mini flip-flops to hook into our performance poem about travelling. We also critiqued the artwork of notable artists who had created self-portraits. This was to inspire us in preparation for our final product. We had a great time and can’t wait to learn what will come next!

Thank you to all of the grown-ups who were able to join us to celebrate the fabulous work that our children have done this term. Year 2 presented their work for the expedition ‘Ready, Steady, Grow: How can I be the healthiest version of me,’ beautifully and gave really good demonstrations of how to keep healthy. There was a great buzz in the hall as the children set about answering the quiz questions to help them take their grown-ups through their learning journey in the books. Great work Year 2!

2P have learnt how germs can easily be spread and why it is important that we wash our hands and have good hygiene. We discussed the different ways that we can keep ourselves clean and then did an experiment that shows how quickly and easily germs can spread to each other through contact. Kaya ‘sneezed’ on her hand and then the class all shook hands with each other. It’s amazing how quickly the ‘germs’ spread! We then practised how we can wash our hands thoroughly. We then made posters to share what we had learned with others.
