Month: March 2017

Following a lovely assembly by Year 1 on the theme of Mothering Sunday, Year 2 thoroughly enjoyed making cards for their very special moms.

We love our moms and hope that they have a lovely day!

See their thoughtfully creative designs below

As part of our Lent plan we have been creating a fabric wall hanging which focuses on what the Lord wants from us and how we can best serve God. Children came up with a design for our class wall hanging and transformed this from paper to fabric and it looks AMAZING! See our photos below.

To help us warm our brains up on this early Monday morning we enjoyed a starter session that required us to identify whether numbers were odd or even and then explain our reasoning. We were each given a whiteboard and a pen and asked to pick any number between 1-100. Once we’d chosen our number, we discussed them with our partner and identified whether they were odd or even and then discussed and shared ideas about how we could work this out.

See our pictures below, we had great fun!

Today, in Year 2 we had our first pupil prayer service led by Omari with the help of Ethan and Maya. The children chose a prayer service around the theme of Lent and asked for purple cloth, a cross and some candles to be our focal point. We began by making the Lenten sign of the cross and the three children led us in our class prayer.

Following this, Omari read a small reading from The Way of the Cross. Children were given time to reflect upon what they had learned and a small pebble was passed around and children had the opportunity to respond to what they’d heard.

On behalf of Year 2 we’d like to thank Omari, Ethan and Maya for a beautiful prayer service. You’ve really modelled how to create a calm environment that offers us time to reflect.

During our respect lesson in Year 2 this week children explored their fears.

Below are some pictures of children role playing being at the dentist, one of the common fears within the classroom!

On Thursday 2nd March St Vincent’s celebrated World Book Day and our classroom was overtaken with characters from lots of different stories! Children thoroughly enjoyed meeting the Jolly Postman during our WBD assembly where it transpired that an imposter had taken something from the following characters: The Monster, Miss Bear, Zippy the Zebra, Robin Hood, Mickey Mouse, Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland! Children were full of excitement throughout the day for the tea party where they’d find out who was our culprit! During the tea party our paper chains that we’d enjoyed making earlier in the day were connected and contain the favourite books of all of the children and staff from our school!
