Our second full week in Year 2 has flown by. This week we had our whole school mass to celebrate the beginning of our new school year. The children all showed great reverence during the mass and sang beautifully. This week in Religion we started our unit – Beginning with God. We looked at the […]

Week three

We have combined our problem solving and computing skills in PE this week by hunting for images taken around the school and taking pictures of ourselves next to the objects. It was great fun – what resourceful beavers and fantastic (team work) ants we are! In topic the children have also become archaeologists and investigated […]

What a busy week! It started with a letter from Mayor Trembull to say that a huge, ferocious bear had been seen near a cave on the beach. The children were asked to investigate this. They made their own cave explorer badges and they wrote a plan of what they would do if they saw […]

It’s been a jam-packed first full week back at school for Year 6. On Monday, Alex, the priest-in-training, came to be interviewed by the children.
