Year 2- Arts Week

Last week was our whole school 'Arts Week'. In year 2, we spent our afternoons learning about India and their cultural celebration 'Dawali' (or 'The Festival of Lights'). We created lots of fantastic art work inspired by India, including paper lanterns, Rangoli patterns, Henna hand designs, and tea-light holders! We enjoyed being crafty! Here are some of our beautiful creations!

 

Safer parking campaign

As a school we have been looking at ways in which safer parking can be encouraged around our school. We have discussed this issue in assemblies and within our classes.We decided to design persuasive posters in order to encourage car drivers to think about local residents and their parking needs. A whole school competition was launched  whilst Y6 also wrote persuasive letters to parents/ carers which should soon be sent out.

Magna Carta- 800 years of freedom!

We learnt all about the significance of the Magna Carta in assembly last week. It's 800 years since it was sealed and we have created an interactive display in our school hall all about it. The timeline that has been sent out to all schools as part of the commemoration of this historic national event is extremely informative and teachers will use assemblies to talk about other events that have led to the freedoms we enjoy today.

St George's Day

We had a fantastic day on Thursday celebrating St George's Day. We had a tasty lunch outside in the sunshine under our patriotic themed decorations! We worked hard in maths to help solve some addition and subtraction questions in the context of money for a 'St George's Day cake sale'. We also spent the afternoon completing some fun St George's day activities including designing our own dragons!

Easter Fun

Year 2 had a fantastic time celebrating Easter before the holidays. We loved getting involved in all of the Easter creative activities including decorating our Easter Eggs and making Easter Cards! We thoroughly enjoyed our Easter Bonnet Parade too, thank you to the parents and carers for your contributions to our fun!

Well done to Luke for winning the Easter Egg competition with his "eggcellent" C3-PO and R2-D2 inspired eggs.

Well done to Grace, the winner of the Easter Bonnet competition, for this beautiful bonnet creation!

Well done to all of year 2 for their fantastic effort and creativity over the Easter period! I am very proud of you all, as always!

We even saw a 'Queen Victoria' egg, inspired by our topic work! Doesn't she look fabulous?

St George's Day 2015!

We have had a fantastic day in school today celebrating St George's Day! The beautiful weather meant we were able to have our garden party on the Key Stage 1 Yard! A fun day was had by all!
