On Thursday, Year 1 and Reception joined together for a very special afternoon. Over the past four weeks, Year 1 have been writing stories based on ‘It’s My Birthday’ and, once they were finished, were able to go and read their versions to Reception. Year 1 were extremely proud of themselves and all of the hard work that they had put in. Reception were very excited to listen to their stories! 

Reception were so inspired by the Year 1s that they had to tell us the story of Mr Wiggle and Mr Waggle. Year 1 agreed that they were fantastic!

Perhaps at the next Sharing Friday, you might like to come and look at all of the children’s fantastic work and effort!

This week, we have been learning about the religion of Islam.  Arafa brought in her prayer mat and taught her friends about the way in which she prays five times every day.  Arafa taught us all a huge amount about how Muslims pray.

As part of their learning about Signs and Symbols, the children created some beautiful baptism candles and thought very carefully about the signs and symbols that were meaningful to them.  Well to everyone.

The children have had a great start to Year 2 and have been very excited about their new learning.  What has been especially rewarding is the enthusiasm with which pupils have brought in information from home about current learning.  Thank you for the high quality of their home learning, including the posters about Saint Teresa and beautiful baptism candles.

We had an inspiring drama session earlier in October.  The children paid great attention during the session and showed themselves to be wonderful actors.  Well done to you all!

The Year 2 children have a great passion for art, so I look forward to seeing their artwork inspired by the theme of Bread of Life.  

Have a wonderful half term break with your family.

An exciting competition is taking place across the county.  The task is to:

Create a piece of artwork entitled ‘The Bread of Life’.

Encourage your child to think about what the blessed sacrament, the Eucharistic host, means to them and then create a piece of artwork reflecting their thoughts.  The artwork needs to be A4 in size and can be created using any medium, including paint, collage or printing.  Please label the back of the artwork with your child’s name and year group and return to your class teacher by 9th November.
