Year 2 really enjoyed all of the activities celebrating our class Saint.
They sang St Francis’ prayer together, wrote prayers with a nature theme, built churches, made bird feeders and created art in nature – Andy Goldsworthy style.
The children enjoyed leading a prayer service to bless animals and their own pets and sharing their own personal prayers.
Year 2 really enjoyed working with a partner, taking turns to read and listen to each other. So lovely to see such super team work!
They searched for items around the forest floor and used their imaginations to create faces. Once complete the children enjoyed visiting the ‘forest floor faces’ gallery and making comparisons.
Ms Croarken, Mrs McGaffney and I are super proud of how well you have all settled into Year 2 and getting to know the new systems and routines we have already started!
We worked hard as a team to create our class rules making sure we are all clear of our ‘magic 5’ and added these to our class display.
Part of developing our rules was understanding that they are ‘class’ rules not ‘classroom’ rules, so we tried them out in the forest school area which was great fun!
We had so much fun doing the ‘Shimmie Shake’ dance and even Mr Cooke, Mrs Hartwell and Mrs McGrath joined in! What a hoot!
We learnt a little bit about Saint Francis, our class saint. We also went to the prayer garden to say a prayer and had a go at singing his prayer – Make Me a Channel of Your Peace.
On Friday we celebrated Mary’s birthday by colouring in a stained glass picture, saying the ‘Hail Mary’ and making a flower to share with someone we love.
All in all a great start! Keep up the hard work children!
Enjoy a few picture’s from last week!
