Class 2
March 2021
What a busy return to school!
What a fabulous way to end this fabulous term.... but in our fabulous pjs!
Class 2 were super lucky as Class 4 made them their very own Orienteering Treasure Hunt! It was challenging but a lot of fun... we even got to do it in our pjs!
We have loved learning about Jesus' rising from the dead for us all. We were inspired to create our very own Easter Gardens!
The book fairy left TWO surprises for us...
We have decorated some Easter Egg Cups and beautiful Easter Wreaths. We have had a lot of fun!
We have thought about acts of kindness we can show to others during Lent.
A little bit of golden time...
We have designed Easter Cards remembering that Jesus sacrificed his life for us. We hope you like them!
We are remembering the sacrifice that Jesus made for us by practising the sign of the cross and wearing a cross on our forehead made from burnt palms.
What a "egg'ellent scone'ishious" morning we have had making Hot Cross Scones! We mixed perfect team work, patience and several ingredients to make our delicious scones!
On the 19th March we celebrated St. Joseph's day. We learned he was a carpenter and used a lot of tools in his daily life. We thought about tools we can use to help our families.
To mark census day we collected data on the number of pedestrians and transport passing school, then represented our data on bar charts.
Class Two have really enjoyed talking about 'The Colour Monster', sharing their feelings and writing fantastic diary entries!
Always time for superb maths...
A little bit of time for Arts, Crafts and Golden Time!
We even squeezed in a few games of Twister..... what fun we had!
We were visited by the Book Fairy!
Amazing Home Learning! Well done!
