Year 2 LOVED sports day at Monkton Stadium. We had the best time competing in all the races, were super supports to our team mates and were incredible athletes!
Year 2 had an amazing time during Sunshine Funtime Family Fun Day. We loved all of the mindfulness and being out in nature. We would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Whittle for organising it!
KS1 had a fantastic time during their Spanish party… they tried lots of Spanish food, listened to Spanish music and hit the piñata. We would like to say a big thank you to Mr Rundle for organising it all!
Year 2 created a piece of spiritual art yesterday based on the book The Boy Who Cried Wolf. We read the story and discussed the hidden meaning within it. We then created a piece of art based on the book. We each got a page from the book and recreated it on a piece of tracing paper. We then ordered the pages and placed them on top of a message from the book.
When you first look at our artwork it looks like we have just recreated the story but when you hold it up to the light, the truth comes to light and the hidden message of the story is revealed; a liar will not be believed even if they speak the truth!
On Friday, Year 2 took part in the St. Oz Music Fest where we sang 2 songs. We began by singing the ‘Paddington Theme Song’ with KS1 by Gary Barlow who is our Mover & Shaker for music. Then, we went onto sing ‘Just The Way You Are’ by Bruno Mars which focussed on one of our schools ethos & values… love. We had a gorgeous day and were super lucky that the glorious weather was on our side!
To support our Agents of Change theme, Year 2 have been learning about Newcastle Cat & Dog shelter which takes in animals and ensures that they have all of their rights met. This morning, we learned about the shelter and then created a fact file to share with our St. Oswald’s community which should give you some further information. Please read!
We would like to say a big thank you to everybody who took the time to come and speak to us today during our aspirations day. We loved learning about your jobs and asking you questions…. We will see you all next year!
As part of our science topic, Year 2 have been looking at seasonal changes and how this can affect different animal species. We worked in groups to answer different questions on how animals behave throughout the seasons.
Year 2 have had an amazing aspirations day! We have loved meeting lots of people from all different areas of life. We had a real focus on character traits and were able to ask professionals what character traits they need to display in their jobs!
Year 2 have had a brilliant time at Newcastle Castle yesterday where we continued our ‘Magnificent Monarchs’ learning in History. We were lucky enough to view a local castle and learn all about significant people within the North East!
