Good afternoon everyone,

This week we have been thinking about what God calls for us to do. We have looked at saints, such as Saint Mary and Saint Barnabas, and have learned how they dedicated their lives to doing what God asked of them - even when it seemed difficult or confusing!

We spent time thinking about the things we can do to help others and saying ‘yes!’ to God in our reflections.

English - This week we began our work on instructions texts. We explored our example text, learned about the features of instructions and focused upon using imperative verbs to create sets of instructions.

Maths - In Maths we have finished our work on finding non-unit fraction amounts. We have solved word problems involving these and have learned about the various ways that fractions can be added to make a whole.

Science - This week we began our materials unit by looking at a variety of objects, thinking about what material they are made from, whether this is natural or man-made and have explored some of the properties which make the material a good choice for the specific object.

RE - In RE, we wrote letters as Peter convincing others to embrace the Holy Spirit and be baptised. We also used scripture to explore the different ways that the Holy Spirit enriches our own lives.

PE - Our Wednesday PE we did sports day practice. In Friday PE, we continued our gymnastics.

Computing - We began our work on stop motion animations.

Please continue to practise counting in 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s and 10s and the Year 1 and 2 common exception words.

There is no homework this week but please continue to practise the above things.

Year 2 PE lessons will take place on Wednesday and Friday. Please come to school in PE kit on these days.

Water bottles - all the children were given a new school bottle. This will come home each night to be cleaned and re-filled. Please only use the school bottles and ensure your child brings theirs each day. Lost water bottles can be replaced at the school office, but I am afraid you will have to pay for those. Year 2 have green tops.

I will not be in class on a Thursday afternoon, as it is my release time. This will be covered by Mrs Bowdell and Miss Andrew and is also when the children will have Music with Mrs Watson.

Party Invitations - I am afraid that Mrs Bowdell and I will not be able to give out party invitations in class. Please do not send your child into class with them for them to give out - it creates upset and fuss about something that takes place outside of school.Thank-you for your understanding with this matter.

Key Rings - please do not put key rings onto your child’s school bag, it creates fuss in class and then upset if they are lost.

School bags - please continue to use the red book bag that your child was given in Reception, we don’t not have the room to store large bags. Many thanks for your help with this matter.
