What a first week back after half term it has been! The weather has started to change with brighter and drier mornings and warmer afternoons, which has certainly lifted everyone’s spirits. We have also begun our spiritual journey of Lent, with us focusing on the Mass of Ash Wednesday in our RE lessons. We asked and answered lots of inquisitive questions about Lent and also looked into the readings and scripture from Ash Wednesday. We have also swapped our Lenten boxes over with our lovely Year 1 partners, ready for the weekend to begin earning those pennies at home to raise money for CAFOD.
It was so lovely to see so many of you at our second book look of the year and for the children to share their work across the year with you. You should be extremely proud of the work that they put in and produced, also to see the progression of their work from September. Lots of learning has taken place already in this new half term with us using our multiplication/division knowledge to convert units of measurement and to multiply decimals by whole numbers. In English, we have began our new writing topic of Sci-Fi, which will go hand in hand with our space topic in Science. Here are some pictures captured throughout the week of our learning.
Conversation starters
Science- ‘My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Noodles’. Can you explain to your parents why this was the topic of our conversation in this weeks science lesson. Could you remember any of the facts we associated with each planet (one word descriptions).
RE- What changes are you going to make throughout Lent? Every year, we choose something to fast (give up) but thinking on a deeper and more spiritual level, what changes about yourself are you going to make on this special journey of the year.
Let’s Celebrate
Virtue Star: Emilia
You are so intentional with your actions Emilia. To always put other people’s interests, safety and concerns before your own is a special quality to have and one that is not easy to carry out every single day. You are such a valuable member of our classroom, as a learning partner, eco- councillor and friend. Just keep being you.
