Year 2 Leavers’ Party
What a fantastic Leavers’ Party TAFF organised this afternoon! The children loved it! The DJ (Sean Walsh from SNJ Entertainment) was great! We would welcome comments and messages to TAFF from the children (and parents) – please send them to the Guestbook. (Not all of the Photobooth photos are shown here as there were too many! The others will be added to the children’s Google Classroom pages next week).
Squirrel Class – wire flowers
The children looked at the shape of flowers and then carefully traced around a picture of their chosen flower. Next they manipulated the wire to make their flower shape by bending and twisting the wire. To decorate, the children wrapped the petals in tissue paper and glued them carefully using a PVA glue and water wash. It was a pretty tricky activity but we persevered!

Year 2 – RE lesson
For our RE lesson this afternoon, the Year 2’s all came together to learn how Hindus celebrate the Holi Festival. We built a shrine for the God, Vishnu. We used scarves to symbolise the powdered paint which is thrown during the Holi Festival. We then listened to a traditional piece of Indian music and learnt an Indian dance. I wonder if you can carry on learning it at home… (Miss Heafford) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zodMIu0_CfI
