Well done to all our wonderful children who took part in our celebrations on Friday. Your reverence and participation throughout the whole service was exemplary; you were a credit to your parents and to our school. Thank you to Father Shaun for leading us in worship and to all the teachers for preparing the children so well.
Thank you to all the children and parents who came to support our school today! The children looked fabulous in their poppy T shirts and the paper poppies and the crowns added a splash of colour to our walking float. I hope you all had a chance to visit the art exhibition and see some of the beautiful paintings on display. Well done to our football team for reaching the final today and playing so passionately for the school. We are all very proud of you! Thank you to all the staff for their hard work today. A special thanks goes to Miss Pringle for organising the football team, Mrs Theo for preparing the art work for the exhibition and Mrs McNamara and Mrs Joyce for driving car loads of equipment to and from school early this morning! A real team effort!

It has been another busy week in Year 2! The children took part in a number of activities linked to our Spirituality Week. The theme of our Spirituality Week this year was God at the centre of our family. We started the week with a very special Grandparents Celebration Morning. The children were overjoyed to share their artwork and acrostic poems with their Grandparents. We paired up with Year 4 to make prayer flowers and offered prayers to our Year 4 partners. Prayer stations were organised by Year 6 in which the children offered prayers through blowing bubbles, choosing a stone, creating a prayer chain for different countries and writing prayers for different people. Each day the children have spent time reflecting on their day in a Spirituality Diary. 
It has been another fun-filled week in Year 2! Royal wedding fever has well and truly taken over! It was wonderful to see all the children dressed up in their costumes and party clothes to help celebrate the upcoming nuptials of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Year 2 had great fun perfecting the royal wave!
We had a very special assembly about marriage and afterwards we enjoyed some delicious ice-creams!
Don’t forget that Monday 21st May is our Grandparents Celebration Morning! Enjoy the weekend festivities!
We are encouraging pupils, parents or carers to swap four wheels for two feet and give walking a go this Walk to School Week 21st to 25th May.
As part of the challenge this year, pupils will be encouraged to wear the shoes that make them happiest – whether that is the brightest, jazziest or craziest shoes they own, to celebrate Living Streets’ Happy Shoesday on Tuesday 22nd May when we will be celebrating.
Our message in school is that walking to school is a brilliant way to get active and healthy. It’s also a great opportunity for our children to learn vital road safety skills and make sure they’re alert and ready to learn at the start of a new day. Walk to School Week is part of National Walking Month organised by ‘Living Streets’.
This year Living Streets is urging families to pledge to walk to school via their website. Please bring a suggested donation of £1.00, to be sent to Living streets, the UK’s only charity for everyday walking. Living Streets say:
Over 400,000 pupils took part in Walk to School Week 2017 – and this year is shaping up to be even bigger.
Please join in and support this fundraising campaign!

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.
Today we celebrated the month of May by holding our May procession to honour Our Lady. We reflected on the life of Our Lady and processed towards the Peace Garden where we placed our flowers on our May altar.
This week we have been learning about 3D shapes and their properties. The children have had great fun looking at nets and making their own 3D shapes.
Guess my shape!
Joseph: I have 6 faces and 8 vertices. What shape am I?
Alice: I have 5 vertices. I have 1 square face and 4 triangular faces. What shape am I?
Strategies, Strategies, Strategies! Year 2 have worked extremely hard this week, employing a range of strategies to solve a variety of mathematical questions. There were plenty of House Points awarded for lots of amazing work. Well done everyone!
In Religion this week we have been looking at the story of Pentecost and the children created some beautiful art work!
This week we put the finishing touches to our reports about the disciples journey to Emmaus. The classroom was full of Marvellous Magpies! The children included lots of adjectives, adverbs and repeated phrases in their writing!
