Year 2 visit to St James Church

By | 2024-2025 School Year | No Comments

Year 2 thoroughly enjoyed their trip to St James Church on Wednesday. We explored the church and its features, admiring the details throughout such as the stained-glass windows and the Nativity dressing of the high altar. We had a discussion with Fr Damien and Tom from the church who told us all about the different ways that the Church gives to the community including food banks, community fridge, Lego club and cake and coffee afternoons. We then discussed ways that we have given in our lives. This directly links to our RE learning this term ‘Why is giving important to Christians’. Finally, a big thank you to all of the parent helpers who accompanied us on our trip- without you we would not have been able to make this happen for the children.

The children had a great time joining in with the Toys from the past workshop this week. They had the opportunity to play with some of the old toys and also had a discussion about how toys have evolved over time. They got to see a range of different Teddies from the past and had a go at putting them in order from the oldest to the newest.

Diwali and Rangoli patterns

By | 2024-2025 School Year | No Comments

As part of our celebrations topic, this week we have been learning about the festival of Diwali. We have started to make Diva lamps, learnt the story of Rama and Sita and  created Rangoli patterns. We were very lucky to have Mr Railton share their family religion and teach the children how to make Rangoli patterns.
