We have had a very busy week performing our Christmas concert 'The Magical Christmas Jigsaw'. Everyone who came to see the performance said how much they enjoyed it and we are very proud of all of the children for working hard and making it such a success!
We have been thinking about darkness this week and enjoyed reading 'Owl Babies'. We used puppets to retell the story and talked about other nocturnal animals. We wrote descriptions of owls and helped Miss Millward to make a lovely fluffy owl for our classroom display.
We have also been very busy making our Rudolph Christmas cards. We had to be very careful using split pins to make moving antlers!

We have been scientists this week! we had a letter from the lighthouse keeper asking us to find out how to make his light work. We found out how to make the bulb light up by making a circuit. Then we wrote letters to the lighthouse keeper to tell him how to fix his light - we hope it worked!
We have also been very busy making things to sell at the Christmas Fayre. We used socks and rice to make snowmen - we think they are very cute, we hope you like them!

We started the week with our class assembly about happiness. Everyone spoke well and Mrs James and Mrs Romanelli were very proud of everyone. We think you made everyone feel happy on a Monday morning!
We have been learning about the Hindu festival of light this week which is called Diwali. We listened to the story of Rama and Sita and acted it out using masks. We learnt about ways in which Diwali is celebrated and found out that they make patterns called Rangoli on their doorsteps. We have been busy making our own Rangoli patterns inside and outside the classroom!
Year 2 have had a very busy week preparing for our wedding. We made invitations, table decorations and place cards. We had a wonderful wedding! The bride looked beautiful and the groom was very smart too! We all wore our best clothes to be wedding guests and had a lovely time at the reception.
You can see all of the photos from the big day in the wedding album

We have been painting our self portraits this week. We looked at our faces in the mirror and mixed paint to match the colour of our skin. We chose materials to add detail to our hair and clothes. We think we are looking good!
