Last week saw the holy day of Candlemas, or The Presentation of the Lord, on 2nd February. As a class we have discussed this important event in the Church’s calendar as the day when Simeon and Anna ‘saw the salvation’ and the words of the prophets came true. This is a day when candles are blessed in Church and taken home and lit to share the Light of the World within our homes. We have discussed how we can Shine our Light for Jesus.
We had a very busy week, with the highlight being our ‘go green’ day on Thursday to raise money for Cafod. Thank you so much for supporting us on this day, the children looked fantastic and we raised nearly £30 towards our £50 target. On the day I filmed the children reciting a poem called ‘The Green Children’ that we have been learning about in our English work. Very apt! I will try to upload it on to my blog this week for you to see.
Here’s what else we have been up to…
-English: we have been continuing our work on The Green Children. The children wrote some brilliant diary entries as one of the green children.
-Maths: we have been learning how to solve missing number column additions and subtractions.
-Science: the children made a compass with Mrs Ormerod.
-R.E: we learnt about the story of The Lost Sheep and how God is like the shepherd and we are like the lost sheep.
-Spanish: we practised our pronunciation of the Spanish colours.
-Geography: we started a new topic on the Arctic. We learnt about the 7 countries who have towns in the Arctic Circle.
-P.E: we learnt how to dribble the ball during a handball game.
It was a very busy week with lots of hard work from the children:

We will be holding Parent Teacher Meetings again on MONDAY 21ST FEBRUARY 2022 - these will be held virtually, as they were in October. You will have received an email with the information, informing you of how to can book your 10 minute appointment. During these meetings I will be able to inform you of the progress you child has made since the last time we spoke in October and any specific information relating to your child.
It is our ‘Harry Potter’ Day this coming Friday. We are all so excited! Just a reminder that the children can dress up as a Harry Potter character or something related to the theme, but please don’t worry if you don’t have a costume. A plain t-shirt with a lightning bolt drawn on it or a witches hat will do!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend,
Miss Heim-Sarac
