Year 2 have enjoyed supporting Children in Need today. Here is a photograph of the children wearing their spots.
West Boldon Lodge Year 2
Yesterday, Year 2 had an unforgettable day at West Boldon Lodge, diving into literacy and science in the beautiful autumn outdoors! Our day began with a Goldilocks and the Three Bears workshop, the perfect hook for our new writing unit, sparking creativity and storytelling. The children used the natural autumn treasures they collected to make their very own bear masks, bringing the beloved characters to life. They also crafted bear faces on the trees using clay, much like the bears from the story appeared in the illustrations. To make the experience complete, everyone gathered around to make porridge over an open fire – just like Goldilocks!
In the afternoon, our focus turned to science with a hands-on life cycle workshop. The children set off on a “treasure hunt,” searching for clues related to different stages of life cycles and collecting life cycle poems along the way. Working in teams, they pieced together the stages of various life cycles and proudly presented their findings to their classmates in a fun competition.
The day wrapped up with pond dipping – a thrilling adventure as the children discovered a variety of creatures in the water. This activity wasn’t just exciting but also educational, as they learned about the different needs animals have to survive.
Our Year 2 students came away with new knowledge, wonderful memories, and even a few muddy boots! Thank you to West Boldon Lodge for hosting such an enriching experience!
What a great start to the half term!
Year 2 Library Visit
Our Year 2 class had a wonderfull visit to The Word today! The children were buzzing with excitement as we explored the world of literature and picked out some fantastic new books for our class library. It was great to see them so engaged and eager to dive into new stories.
After our book adventure, we channeled our creativity with a fun autumn crafting session. The children made sheep out of pine cones and cotton wool, linked to one of the stories that was shared by the lovely librarian .
A big thank you to The Word for inspiring a love of reading and creativity in our young learners. We’re excited to dive into our new books and continue exploring the magic of literature!
KS1 Fun Day!
Here are a few photos from our school fun day.
Infant Nativity 2023
Today, the children from Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 showcased their Nativity play titled ‘Whoops-a-Daisy Angel.’ The children exhibited excellence as they sang, narrated and portrayed the story of The Nativity.
Well done Infants, we are all very proud of you!
Year 2 Mini Tennis Festival
Last week, Year 2 took part in a mini tennis festival where they learned the basic skills of tennis. They practised serving and basic ball skills. They all worked very hard and were beautifully behaved. We have some great tennis players in the making! Thank you to our wonderful parent helpers!
Travelling Crib
In Advent, as we wait and prepare for the coming of Jesus, the children have been invited to join our special project called ‘The Travelling Crib’. Starting this week, each child will take turns bringing home a pack to share with their families.
This is to help us remember the journey Mary and Joseph made to Bethlehem, and as a family take time to stop and think about the true meaning of Christmas.
Children in KS1 will bring home The Christmas Story, while children in KS2 will bring home a book called ‘When the Stars Shone Bright, A Christmas Tale’ telling the Christmas story from the perspective of the three wise men.
Exploring Baptism
The children in Years 1 and 2 recently visited St. Bede’s Church to learn more about the sacrament of baptism, which is an aspect of the Religious Education curriculum.
The children were warmly welcomed by Father Bill, who provided an immersive experience as the children learned about the significance of baptism in the Christian faith, as well as offering insights into the history and meaning behind the sacrament.
The visit not only deepened the children’s understanding of baptism but also fostered a sense of connection and community within St. Bede’s Church.
Children in Need 2023
The children had a fantastic time today when they took part in the ‘Pudsey Bearpees Challenge’ raising money for Children in Need.
Nursery, Year 1, and Year 2 getting active!
