Year 2 Visit Church for the Easter Story

This morning (Monday 4th April), Year 2 visited St. Elwyn’s Church to learn about the Easter Story before the holidays.

We got ready first thing; wrapped up warm in our coats and waterproof trousers to keep us dry – as it was a bit rainy outside – and we set off!

After a short walk down the road, we arrived at the church.

                           

We were met inside by three lovely people from St. Elwyn’s. They introduced themselves and taught us a song to the tune of ‘London’s Burning’ which told about the Easter Story.

Once everyone had had a good sing-song, we listened very carefully and learnt about the Easter Story.

         

We then had some time to look around the church and at the ‘Stations of the Cross’.

 

 

 

Finally, we sat down and had our snack before heading back to school!

Remember Remember… When Year 2 met Guy Fawkes!

Year 2 have been learning about  The Gunpowder Plot this term and loved meeting Guy Fawkes..     

Their knowledge of the event is remarkable and they successfully sequenced the events onto a timeline.

        

Year 2 enjoyed putting their Forest School Skills into practise with lighting a fire.

    

They also loved the Guy Fawkes trail and game.

       

Class 3 Seaside Art

Class 3 have enjoyed exploring a variety of mediums and skills to create Seaside themed art. So far they have used, paint, water colour paint, sketching pencils and pens as well as collaging.

They particularly enjoyed following a step-by-step teacher tutorial using sketching pencil to create lines and discover how to make the huts appear 3D.

  

Class 3 then used water colour paints. After exploration, they realised that the more water they added, the lighter the colour became.

The calming music created a lovely atmosphere where the children concentrated beautifully and all felt proud of what they’d achieved.

Sticky Jam Sandwich Fun in Year 1

Jam 3

After reading ‘The Giant Jam Sandwich’  in our ‘Talk Through Stories’ session, Year 1 explored instruction writing whilst making jam sandwiches. They focused on sequencing, using time connectives and imperative verbs.

 Jam 2

Apart from watching their teachers get messy whilst they followed the classes vague instructions, their favourite part was of course eating them.
