Year 2 Weekly Blog 31st March 2023
If you do something awesome, you should be proud of yourself.
I cannot begin to tell you how proud I am of the children and what they have achieved this week. Thank you for your help putting together our Palm Sunday Worship, all the children have practised their lines at home this week and this resulted in the fantastic performance you saw this morning.
If the children can achieve this with minimal practise in school this week, the possibilities and opportunities ahead of them are endless. Reach for the stars Year 2 - you truely are amazing. You have made your teachers and your families very proud.
In history this week, the children have been putting together the information on the RNLI that they have collected and started writing their non chronological reports.
On the 19th April, as part of our local history topic, we will be visiting the Lifeboat station in St Annes.
In maths we have cracked subtracting 1 digit number from 2 digit numbers bridging multiples of 10. The children have been determined and focused this week and have produced some amazing work in their maths books.
In english we have focused on using commas in a list, we played Guess Who! The children had to guess which of their friends were being described with clues in a list. Then they wrote their own descriptions in a list for us to guess. They have used their purple pencils and been detectives spotting where commas have been incorrectly placed in sentences and correcting them.
Friday was our ‘Art Day’! The children have thoroughly enjoyed getting crafty and have produced some beautiful work - their concentration faces have made me smile! As part of this project we will be making Easter cards to send to people in the community, if you would like to suggest a local care home or residential home to receive an Easter card from our class please email me - lmarham@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk
Next Wednesday 3-3.40 we will be holding an Art Exhibition for the children to showcase their Easter Art work. There will be a donation box in the classroom, to help us raise money for CAFOD.
Class worship this week was led by George C, George L and Rodnie, the theme was being hopeful. Well done boys, we all thoroughly enjoying singing your chosen hymns and thinking about what our hopes and dreams are.
EGG DECORATING COMPETITON - Wednesday 5th April. For £1 entry fee, the children need to bring in a boiled, decorated egg for the competition. Let your imagination go wild. Could the egg be a character in a scene? Or have a specific pattern? Think creatively. The student council will be judging the winners from their paired class. There may even be a large chocolatey prize for the winners.
There’s still time to order an Easter lunch - Jackie, and her bunnies, will be preparing a lovely Easter Lunch for the whole school community to enjoy on Wednesday 5th April. If your child usually has a school dinner on a Wednesday, they will automatically receive the Easter Lunch.
If your child does not have a dinner and would like one, please ensure you order a lunch by clicking the link on the Easter Lunch page. Each dinner is £2.40. Mrs Hodges will update Parent Pay once the orders are in.

Scarlett
Scarlett, your singing and enthusiasm in our Palm Sunday Worship really stood out. You spoke beautifully even though you were feeling a bit nervous. You were courageous and this should be celebrated.
Well done Scarlett.

Another amazing performance Nathan, you also spoke beautifully in our assembly, loud and clear just as we had practised. You are well mannered and polite at all times and a great learning partner to your friends. I noticed you this week encouraging others when we were practicing, helping them to achieve their best too.
