New Reading Shed
Our new reading shed is looking great! Mrs Hough and a group of children have worked really hard this afternoon to get it ready to be used after half term.

Artist Visitor
Thank you to local artist Neil who has been in school again this week to add our values to the KS1 playground. He has also added our school motto to the hall.
New Rules Day in Year 2
Year 2 Puppets
Over several lessons we have been making an animal glove puppet. We decided which animal we would like to make and drew our designs. We used our sewing skills to fix the two pieces of fabric together using a running stitch. When we had finished sewing we added on some extra features like eyes, paws or tummy.

Year 2 First Aid Workshop
Today we had a special visitor called Kelly who led a Mini First Aid workshop for us. We learned about what we should do if someone hurts themselves at school, how we could help people, how to put on a plaster, how to use a bandage, when to use an ice pack and who to phone in an emergency. We had a brilliant session.

As writers, our Year 1 children have been writing their own versions of Brown Bear by Eric Carle.

Special Prayer
This is our school,
let peace dwell here.
Let our school be full of contentment.
let love abide here-
love of one another,
love of mankind, love of life itself
and love of God.
Let us remember that as many hands build a house,
so many hearts make a school.
Amen.
