Year 2 thought about why we should be grateful for God’s creation during their RE this week. They used their grateful grapes to think Baku why we should savour and respect God’s creation. We then thought about what Christians are grateful for and compared it to what they are grateful for.
Year 2 had a fantastic time during our fieldwork outing yesterday. We collected data by focussing on the amount and type of vehicles that passed us on the side of the road in a 15 time period! We became so passionate about collecting the data and were amazing at interpreting it back in the classroom!
Year 2 have had a fantastic afternoon completing their ‘colour challenge’ lesson in art. We used our sticky knowledge to create a mixture of shades and created some eye catching pieces. Once we had completed our work, we had to give it an imaginative title!
Year 2 and Year 4 had the best time celebrating the ‘international day of peace’ during prayer space day. We thought about peace in many different ways, alongside reflecting on what makes us feel the most at peace. We ended our session by ‘being still’ in the nature garden. Thanks to Mr Richardson and Mrs O’Doherty for planning and prepping our session!
Year 2 loved their art lesson, last week! They used malleable materials to create different patterns and textures with paint. They loved creating the different textures by putting holes in their materials and thought about how they could overlap the paints to create secondary colours.
Year 2 were super tired after their National Fitness Day challenge! Miss Marley showed us how to warm up and then challenged us to run 1 mile… 9 laps around the yard! Afterwards, we discussed what exercise does to our bodies and why it’s important.
Yesterday morning, Year 1 and 2 worked together on our #saveourchurch campaign. As agents of change, we decided to create a petition on change.org discussing the issue with our church. In the weeks to come we will be asking our local community to sign our petition and support us in saving St. Oswald’s Church!
Year 2 loved learning about democracy today and were able to discuss why having a vote is really important. They then wrote out their manifestos and delivered them to the class explaining why they would like to be a school council member. Finally, we were able to go into our very own Ozzie polling station (all thanks to Mrs Whittle and Miss Dixon) and vote for our class councillors!
Last week, Year 2 had a brilliant first forest school with Mrs O’Doherty. They continued their Habitats topic from Science and were identifying living and non-living things. The class blew Mrs O’Doherty’s socks off with their knowledge!
