Apologies for not writing a blog for a while. There was a technical problem and also things have been manic! This blog will hopefully provide an update on our last few weeks of term.
We said goodbye to Miss Redfearn on the 28th of June. She has now completed her training and will be starting work at a school in Bristol in September. We celebrated her leaving with a party. Thank you to everyone for your contributions of party food after a last minute request. We ended up having quite a feast! We really enjoyed having Miss Redfearn work with us and she planned lots of exciting things for us to do. We made cress heads on the last day which were amazing and another highlight was our maths trail around the village. We also made a French fruit salad (with instructions being given in French) and had a poetry cafe where we got to read out some star poems which we had written.
On the 4th of July we had a visit from a dog warden as part of a campaign called 'Check B4 U pet' aimed at preventing incidents of biting from dogs. We designed posters with a key message from this which was to stand like a tree if approached by an unfamiliar dog. 5 of the best entries were sent to Ebley Mill. Joshua R, Finn, Sophie, Alfie and Emily were the ones chosen, well done to them! Another key message was to ask the owner of a dog before going to stroke it.
We have been really busy working on our school production. Our cow and Ishmaelite dances were fantastic and a very entertaining part of the production. Some of us weren't terribly happy about being cows, especially fat ones but there is no doubt that we all did a brilliant job!!!
We finished our R.E work on Judaism by tasting some of the ingredients from the Seder meal eaten by the Jews at the festival of Passover. The matzvah bread was the most popular and Oliver and Joshie made some 'charoset' which was interesting (nuts, cooking apples, fruit juice and cinnamon).
So much has happened it is impossible to write about it all. I think it is safe to say we have all had an enjoyable end of term! The Y3/4 will change classes next year and we hope they have lots of happy memories of class two. We wish them well. Have a very happy holiday everyone!
P.S The Y2 have been set a homework - diary challenge. This is meant to be a bit of fun and there will be prizes in September for effort, presentation and punctuation. A special book was issued for this task so please look out for it if you haven't seen it already!
