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.

We all had a smashing time during our Mothers Day Assembly and the children sang with great enthusiasm, having written the words to the song together the previous week. Please do take a look in your child’s book bag where you will find their creative Mothers Day card.

Here are the words to the song again, if you would like to sing it at home.

As part of Racial Justice Sunday, the children created some thoughtful posters promoting an anti-racist message. Take a look to see just how imaginative the children have been.

We had a great time on World Book Day, celebrating our love of books, reading and writing. The day started with an opportunity to show off our outfits in a whole school assembly, followed by a shared reading session with our Year 6 buddies. After sharing poems with a friend, we then explored rhyming words and wrote our own amazing poems that we published in a class book. We also created our own beautiful bookmarks that we will be able to use in our favourite books. We have all brought a poetry book home, so our next challenge is to learn a poem to recite to our friends.
