English

We continued our learning through the story of Manfred the Baddie.

Everyone closely examined the picture of his hideout and discussed what features an effective hideout needs. We designed and labelled our own hideout.

We created our own Manfred The Baddie Quiz.

Maths

We continued our learning about money.

We found different ways to make amounts with coins. We used our knowledge to solve problems involving money.

R.E.

We read another Miracle - The Cure of the Paralysed Man.

The children discussed a piece of art work based on the story in detail and sequenced the story with pictures.

They also wrote speech bubbles and sentences to retell the events.

Forest School

We planted the seeds from our science lesson last week.

Art

We made some visual notes about the work of the artist Marela Zacaries.

We also sketched tulips and did some colour mixing in preparation for our Mother's Day cards.

World Book Day

Everyone looked brilliant in their costumes for World Book Day.

We read a lot of books and even had a parent come and read the end of day story to us.

We also went outside and read to Year 4. They thought Year 2 were really good readers!

Y2 thoroughly enjoyed the day!

We welcomed our visitors from Japan.

We are so lucky to have a student in Year 2. Mizuki is enjoying spending time with us and seeing how we learn.

There was no Golden Assembly this week as we had a wellbeing Yoga session with Beth, one of our South Ribble Coaches.
