Year 2 have combined History & PE today by using their sticky knowledge from last week’s orienteering lesson to support them in finding movers & shakers and creating a timeline in the chronological order. We began by using a map of the school grounds to find the points and locate individual movers & shakers. Once we had identified all of the points correctly, we then put our movers & shakers into a timeline!
Year 2 have been focussing on their position and directional knowledge within maths. We have been practically applying our new skills by making left, right, clockwise and anti-clockwise turns!
KS1 Spanish Club had the best time with Mr Rundle during their first session. They learned all about animals and consolidated their knowledge by playing some games of bingo!
Yesterday, Y2 took part in their first orienteering lesson in PE. We used the map of the school grounds to locate symbols that were placed all around. We were very good at finding all of the tricky hidden spots!
Year 2 have had a fantastic day learning all about Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth 1. We began by thinking about why Shakespeare is a mover and shaker and how his plays have impacted many people. Then, we learned about Queen Elizabeth 1 in line with our new History topic ‘Magnificent Monarchs’ and thought about how she was a significant ruler. Finally, we linked the two and determined what Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth 1 had to do with one another!
Year 2 have had a brilliant morning at South Shields Town Hall where we went for a tour and met the mayor and mayoress! We were lucky enough to be invited into the mayors offices and learned all about the Town Hall’s history. We would like to say thank you to our class governor, Councillor Porthouse for arranging this for us and joining us on our trip!
Year 2 have had a fantastic day at Laygate Mosque where they were introduced to the religion of Islam. We learned about Allah being Islam’s only God, thought about the 5 Pillars and were even shown how to pray like a Muslim.
Year 2 and Year 5 teamed up this morning and took part in Easter Prayer Space Day. Following in the footsteps of Jesus, we all completed the activities and focused on our spirituality. We thought about forgiveness, worries and facing adversity.
