Today the children have really blown me away with their caring and maturity. They all spoke about how horrible and unfair racism is and were shocked when finding out about the life Rosa Parks and other black people led during segregation.

We all enjoyed our glow day and talked about how our inner glow comes from building our self confidence. We really enjoyed glow handwriting, creating our video and our super glow party at the end of the day. Thank you everyone for your support!

Year 2 have been exploring our new text and using inference skills to deduct what a story could be about, where it is set and when it might gave been set. We had great fun being detectives and were shocked by the what the story ‘Let the Children March’ told us about the past.

The children in Y2 had a great day today and we all enjoyed our very first Glow Day. The children enjoyed handwriting in highlighters, reading the story Glow and thinking what makes them glow, a fish and chip lunch, Place Value Connect 4 and a Glow Party to end the day. They all looked wonderful in their bright clothes and they had huge smiles all day!
We can’t wait for the next one!

In English and Expedition today the children worked collaboratively, first to think about the characters in our book Let the Children March and then to think about questions to ask Rosa Parks. They were excited to send her text messages and were thrilled to she her responses.
