Good morning, Year 6.

I hope you all enjoyed watching the May Procession yesterday morning. I thought it was a beautiful tribute to Our Lady and I was very moved when seeing all of your faces. If you didn’t catch it, then you can find it here.

I was absolutely delighted yesterday to receive this video of Evie and her mum doin’ the Lambeth Walk!

I also received some fantastic learning from Alex, including yesterday’s science investigation. He’s really thought about the appropriate scientific vocabulary to use – well done Alex.

On yesterday’s blog, I forgot to put up the results of last week’s online learning leaderboards, so here we have them:

Music This week’s listening task has a VE Day theme, as the song that I have chosen is one that has become synonymous with WW2. It is called We’ll Meet Again and was sung by Vera Lynn. Vera Lynn (born 1917) was one of the superstars of entertainment during the War years and became known as ‘The Forces’ Sweetheart’. The song found its fame during the Second World War, as it resonated with soldiers who had to leave their families and fight for Britain.

On Friday at 9pm on BBC One there is going to be a nationwide sing-along led by Dame Vera Lynn herself, so after answering the questions about it, it would be wonderful if you could learn to sing part of it.

Good morning Year 2,

I hope that you all had a wonderful day yesterday and that you all enjoyed watching the May Procession. Your photographs were lovely. Seeing you all holding your beautiful flowers made it very special indeed. We will continue to pray to Our Lady during this special month of May.

In the table below you will find today’s learning activities. You will notice that there is a theme running through our learning. We celebrate the 75th anniversary of VE Day on Friday. Victory in Europe Day, generally known as VE Day marks the end of World War II. I have planned some of your learning activities this week around the theme of World War II and VE Day. 

I have included a quick update on the Year 2 allotment. Enjoy the video!

If you have any questions or if you need any help.. you know where to find me.. year2@popepaul.herts.sch.uk

Have a brilliant day!

Miss Davey

 Prayer for Tuesday 5th May 2020
History Tuesday 5th May 2020
WALT: Know about the ‘Dig for Victory’ campaign.The ‘Dig for Victory’ campaign was set up during World War II by the British Ministry of Agriculture. Men and women across the country were encouraged to grow their own food in times of harsh rationing. Open spaces everywhere were transformed into allotments, from domestic gardens to public parks – even the lawns outside the Tower of London were turned into vegetable patches.

Potatoes played a vital role in feeding the nation during World War II. Before the war, Britain imported 55 million tonnes of food a year, once war began this dropped to 12 million tonnes and resulted in rationing of the food that was available. The ‘Dig for Victory’ encourage people to grow their own potatoes and vegetables and Potato Pete became a well-known character.

Create a poster that could have been used during the war to encourage the public to ‘grow their own’.
Handwriting Copy the following sentences into your handwriting book:

His mother was so proud of his work.

Her baby brother was learning to walk.

There was nothing in the fridge so they went out for dinner.

Today we honour Our Lady with our special May procession.

Bring flowers of the rarest, bring flowers of the fairest

From garden and woodland and hillside and vale;

Our full hearts are swelling, our glad voices telling

The praise of the loveliest flower of the vale.

O Mary, we crown you with blossoms today,

Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.
