Linked to our class book called A Walk in London, we have taken a tour around the school grounds and talked about all the fabulous experiences we have in school. We imagined that we were Mrs Porter and wrote tours of the school, which showed what accomplished authors we all are. To finish our tour, we wrote captions that describe what makes St Adrian’s school special to us. You are warmly welcomed to come and visit our class during Open Evening this Wednesday 28th June (4-5.30pm) to see all of the fabulous learning that we are so proud of.

Well done to Serena, Colette and Jan for their wonderful performances in St Adrian’s Got Talent and also to all of the children who auditioned for SAGT. You are all superstars!

As part of our learning in Science and Computing, we had a wonderful trip to RSPB Rye Meads. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves hunting for little creatures in a variety of habitats including ponds, grassland and the woodland floor.

We recorded the information that we collected on the computer and have learned how to present this data in many different ways. We are also creating shoebox habitats that include all the things that an animal needs to survive, such as food, water and shelter. Once again, we have shown just how creative we are! We are looking forward to displaying our habitats for everyone to see at our open evening on Wednesday 28th June (4-5.30 pm).

It was fabulous to see so many dads at our Father’s Day assembly. The children were very enthusiastic about singing their song and even asked to practise on the coach when we travelled to Rye Meads together. The children all have a beautiful card for their fathers in their book bags which they are looking forward to giving them on Sunday. Happy Father’s Day everyone!

The children had a very exciting day on Tuesday when they enjoyed their Big Bounce and also raised lots of money for the PTA. Thank you very much for all of your fantastic donations!

Well done to the children for performing so wonderfully in their class assembly celebrating the festival of Pentecost. The assembly had a great message and everyone loved the children’s singing and tremendous artwork. The children have worked tremendously hard this month and their class assembly was an amazing way to reflect their enthusiasm and passion for learning. Have a well earned break, Year 2!

I certainly enjoyed my time away with the Year Six children as we had our PGL adventure together, but it was wonderful to return to the lovely Year Two class this week and be greeted with a thoughtful welcome back message. Thank you very much, Year 2 – I missed you!

Year Two were very proud to celebrate the coronation of King Charles and we all looked very smart in our red, white and blue outfits. We enjoyed making union jack flags to wave as part of the celebrations and practised waving them to that promenade classic ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ as well as the song ‘God Save the King’, https://youtu.be/JcIAZd8p5fQ a song that we thoroughly enjoyed!

As part of our preparations for the coronation, we made bookmarks that included flowers to represent all four countries in the United Kingdom and then created a colourful display for everyone to see.

This week, we took part in a liturgy to celebrate Mary, the mother of God. We wrote prayers for Mary, Queen of Peace and created a beautiful display to be used as part of this worship.

This week, we started our new English teaching sequence on the theme of Wolves. We had great fun exploring traditional tales involving wolves and also read non-fiction texts to find out what wolves are really like. We compared the different versions and are keen to learn more about wolves. This term, we will be learning about different habitats and our learning in English forms part of this, which shows just how important cross curricular learning is here at St Adrian’s. Parents can find out more about our learning this term on the termly curriculum overview, which can be found on the Google Classroom.
