VE Day in Year 2

9th May 2025Madison Hayden

Victory in Europe Day: Remembering 80 Years of Peace

On May 8, 2025, Year 2 joined the nation in commemorating the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day—a pivotal moment in history when World War II ended in Europe. This day marked the cessation of hostilities against Nazi Germany and ushered in a new era of peace and rebuilding.

As we reflect on the lessons of VE Day, we are reminded of the importance of peace, unity, and remembrance. The activities undertaken not only provided historical knowledge but also fostered a sense of gratitude and connection to the past.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all who contributed to making this commemoration meaningful, including our children, parents, grandparents and the local community.

Together, we ensure that the spirit of VE Day continues to inspire future generations.

It was another close tournament between the children in Year 4 and Year 6 on TTRS this half term, but huge congratulations to Year 4 for their fabulous win!

I am sure Mr Rolison will reward you with some extra play this Friday… 😀

Engineering Workshop with AtkinsRealis

16th April 2025Fiona Kirrane

Year 5 were very fortunate to have a visit from engineering company AtkinsRealis to learn about how we can all contribute to a better future by shaping how people are housed, connected, powered, and protected. The workshop focused on infrastructure, energy and innovative ways as to how we can reduce carbon emissions.

The children asked lots of thoughtful questions and participated in designing their own ideas of how to harness renewable energy to reduce the impact of climate change. We even had a great Lego design showing a potential hydro-electric car of the future and designed our own game of ‘Climate Change Snakes and Ladders’, as we challenged our partners in a race to the finish!

Thank you to Tim Smith from AtkinsRealis for the great workshop and for joining us for the afternoon. We all learnt a lot! Well done to all of the children for creating some fantastic ideas and designs for combating climate change. We look forward to hearing who our competition winners are!

Science experiments!

16th April 2025Fiona Kirrane

As part of our Science unit, Properties and Changes of Materials, Year 5 have been busy planning and conducting experiments to find out all about solubility. They have been experimenting with sand, salt, sugar, chalk and coffee granules to see which substances dissolve and which are insoluble.

The results were followed up with further experiments to investigate how (or if!) we could separate the substances that we dissolved by the processes of evaporation, filtration, sieving and magnetism. We had some interesting outcomes and lots of fun predicting and finding out whether the changes would be reversible or irreversible.

We are looking forward to more experiments and investigations in the summer term as we begin our new unit on Earth and Space.

Mousike Ensemble!

15th April 2025Fiona Kirrane

We had a fun-filled morning performing at the Coventry School’s Mousike Ensemble hosted by our very own Mrs Cooke at St John Vianney school. Our performance was inspired by the artwork of Frida Kahlo and we performed Viva La Vida by Coldplay.

We thoroughly enjoyed watching the performances from the other schools and performing in unison with them in several numbers and in the finale. We have some very talented musicians and singers in Year 5!

A huge thank you to Mrs Cooke for all of her hard work with us in our music lessons and rehearsals. We have loved you teaching us so much about music, art and design! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to participate in the Mousike Ensemble 2025. Viva La Vida!

Year 2 go to Hatton

10th April 2025Madison Hayden

Year 2 had a great time at Hatton learning all about the farming year. We learnt that different crops get planted at different times and the reasons why. The children behaved beautifully and we all had lots of fun.
