Please log onto Mathletics and Spelling shed to complete the tasks set. These will include tasks based on common exception words and division activities.

Please also take this time to research an athlete of your choice who is going to the Paris Olympics. Find out where they are from, what their sport is, if they have won any medals before, what it takes to be an Olympic athlete and any other interesting facts about them. We will be writing about this in class next week.

See you all on Friday

Sports Day, on Tuesday was a fantastic celebration of team spirit, athletic ability and enthusiasm. Thank you for all of your support and encouraging cheers.

In English, we have been busy using prepositions, verbs and adjectives to write about The Great Fire of London.  We’ve been using our reasoning skills in Maths, to solve word problems and observation skills in Science, while looking at different habitats.

Have a lovely weekend

The children thoroughly enjoyed their class trip to Knebworth House on Tuesday. It was a lot of fun but also provided an opportunity for them to discover how plants grow in the context of a beautiful, established, working garden. They took part in a plants workshop and explored the formal and walled kitchen gardens, before enjoying a visit to the dinosaur trail and the adventure playground. Thank you Ms Coutinho, Mrs Sheahan and Miss Lawlor for support the class.

In Maths, the children have been exploring lines of symmetry. They’ve enjoyed using mirrors to find symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes.

The class have also been busy preparing for Sports Day next week and have enjoyed running the daily mile together at lunch time.

Our new History Topic is The Great Fire of London. This week, we have investigated where, how and why it started.

In RE we have learnt about different types of prayer. This helped us prepare for the Blessed Sacrament on Friday.

Have a restful weekend

This week in Art, we have been recreating Vincent van Goghs Sunflower and starry night paintings. We focused on creating movement with paints and pastels.

Our SPaG focus has been on contractions and verbs, which we have used in our writing about Rapunzel.

In Maths we have been learning about number families.

Our RE focus has been Pentecost, we have been learning about how St Paul and St Peter were Pentecostal people. We have also considered  how spreading the word of God started with Jesus, then the disciples and is now down to us today.

This week Brooke, Amelie, Aurora and Mia lead a collective worship about families, which they planned and resourced themselves. It was beautifully delivered and enjoyed by the whole class. All of the children will have an opportunity to to do this during the summer term.

Well done to all the children that took part in the music concert this afternoon, you were all fantastic!

Have a lovely weekend

Thankfully the sun came out on Tuesday, meaning we were all able to enjoy the May Procession together. The class sang beautifully and were reverent, when placing their flowers around Mary. Thank you for your generous flower donations – the class gardens are already looking more colourful.

On Thursday the class attended Mass at OLASV Church to celebrate the Feast of the Ascension.

Over the past three weeks, the year 2 gardening club have been busy sowing basil and sunflowers. All of which have germinated. They have also painted mini beast pebbles to place among the flowerbeds, weeded the gardens and planted spring flowers outside the KS1 classrooms and music pavilion. It has been a pleasure to see how much the children enjoy caring for the plants and wildlife.

Hopefully, you have also received the letter explaining the details of our class trip on Tuesday 4th June 2024. Please ensure you give consent on Schoolcomms and mark food options for the day.

Please remember to pack water bottles and hats next week.
