Category: Year 2 – St Teresa of Calcutta

Year Two are very sad that their amazing display on Saint Teresa of Calcutta has been taken down.  We are hoping to put their beautiful drawings up in the classroom.  Meanwhile, the children have been inspired by the story of the Annunciation and they are now designing their own angels as part of an Art and Design Technology project.  During your visit to the school to watch the children’s play on Thursday 13th December, please do take a look at our finished display of angels which will accompany the Angelus prayer in the dining room.  We look forward to seeing you all then.

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.
