Peter Knutsford came into school to talk to us today about living and working in Africa. Peter has lived there for over 14 years and came to tell us more about the culture and particularly about African animals. We saw photos of the animals that walk across his garden each day such as giraffes,…

Do you know how to make jam tarts? Well Y2 do, and on world book day when the Queen of Hearts came to visit she taught us! Look how fabulous they are!

Today Diana from NISCU came into school to tell us stories from the bible. Today we heard about the story of The Paralysed Man. She read the story then we re-enacted it and discussed it in groups. We really look forward to Diana's visits as she really helps to bring the bible stories alive!

In Year 2 this half term, we have been tasting some different fruits to decide which ones to put onto our fruit kebabs. Some of them were slightly sour! We had a great afternoon trying lots fruits we haven't tried before.

This year our Rec, Y1 and Y2 children put on the nativity 'Snuggle Up Stable' in the Cathedral for our parish and families to come and watch. We did two performances, one in the afternoon and one in the evening and did ourselves proud retelling the Christmas story for all to hear.

Y2 have been learning about planting and growing with Miss McShane and over this half term have grown cress. Today we used the cress that we grew and mixed it with boiled eggs and made delicious egg and cress sandwiches which we al got to eat! Mmmmm...

Y2 had a wonderful LEGO workshop this morning. They learnt how to build a robot from LEGO and then connected it to a laptop so they could program it to move.

Y2 led the Celebration of the Word this week in the hall and many parents came to watch as we shared our learning about Baptism.
