Year 2 Blessed visited church this week. They showed wonderful behaviour and asked very interesting questions about the church and the things within it. Why not ask about what they saw?

In Geography Year 2 are learning about Continents and Oceans! This week we explored and labelled maps. We also had a challenge of world jigsaws! 
 

Why not ask us to sing the song?

Our first book in Year 2 this term is The Tunnel by Anthony Browne. We decided to make our own tunnels to have an experience of what it is like to go into one. Ask us about it and our fantastic predictions of what may be in the tunnel in the book.

We have enjoyed a fantastic first week in Year 2 Blessed. We have all settled into routine well and are excited for our learning journey throughout the year! 

This week in history we have been looking at toys used in the past in comparison to the toys we play with today. We had some examples of the types of toys children used to play with so we had a go. We tried skipping with a rope, spinning tops, a ball and cup and marbles. Then we had a vote. Most…

We have been making sandwiches in DT this half term. We have chopped, sliced, grated and spread. Then we enjoyed our sandwiches in the sunshine with Year 1 Blessed. 
 

Year 1 Sacrament showed their absolute best behaviour when we visited Ribbleton Library this week. They were perfect walking there and back and their behaviour in the library was amazing. Everyone used their manners and we listened to two lovely stories.

The library staff read us one of Aesop’s…

In RE we have been looking at the importance of sharing good news with others. We all thought of the good news of Jesus and then we spread our messages around school.

Why not ask us about Jesus’s good news? Year 1 Sacrament will happily share it with you too!

Year 1 took part in a Han Hygiene session lately run by the council. We learnt about the germs that can make us poorly and all about the best way to wash our hands.

Why not as us to demonstrate!?

We have been celebrating the centenary of our school and church in school this half term. Year 1 Sacrament travelled back in time to how school would have been 100 years ago. We had to sit in rows, We had to sit in silence. If you misbehaved you were given a chalk board to write lines. Miss Moore…

As part of our science this term we are learning all about trees. We went outside to explore bark! We used our senses to explore and even did some tree hugging! Next, we made bark rubbings to compare the different marks on different trees.

To mark the month of May we made a decade of the Rosary. We had great time choosing our colours and then threading them. Later in the day we took our Rosary’s to our special Celebration of the Word. We took them home, ask us about the prayers we say in the Rosary.
