Silly to Calm 🧘🏻😌
Continuing with our work on feelings, today we looked at feeling excited. We talked about how feeling excited is a good feeling but sometimes, excitement can lead to feeling or being silly. In times where we might feel like this, there are lots of ways in which to calm down. We followed a song on YouTube this morning to go from silly to calm. Afterwards, we talked about how we were feeling – we said calm, happy, and peaceful.
German biscuit making 🇩🇪
As part of multicultural week we made our very own German biscuits – they were yummy! We had to follow a recipe carefully.
Why is Jesus important to Christians?
Today we explored who Jesus was and why he is a significant person in the Christian faith.
We discovered that Jesus taught Christains that we should show kindness and love to all people, just like our ‘Be Kind’ HoWL, regardless of where they come from or the situation in which they might find themselves. We thought about how we can show kindness and used our conversation protocols to have some lovely discussions on how we should treat our friends and neighbours.
Oliver said ‘It does not matter what we look like, we are all the same.’ Koa explained that he helps his neighbour by looking after pets when they are not home. Leyland also said that he shows kindness by helping his neighbours by getting shopping for them when they are too poorly to go out.
Multicultural week – Italian
During this weeks multicultural focus we have had a go at speaking Italian. We shared our feelings on Italian and then used a video to help us say foods. I have to say I was rather impressed with some of their pronunciation.
Multicultural week – Italy
This week we have been learning about Italy with it being multicultural week. This also fits in with our expedition because it’s allowed us to explore the country in more detail and discover things such as their food and language.
We really enjoyed learning about the famous dances which believe it or not came about because of someone being bitten by a tarantula.
Year 2 Nurse Visit
Today we were very lucky to have a visit from Nurse Welburn who is a children’s nurse in a hospital. She brought lots of equipment for us to look at and even showed us how to use it. The children asked her lots of questions and talked about their own experiences of visiting the hospital. We then did a carousel of activities including dressing up and colouring. Thank you to Nurse Welburn for coming to see us all.
Rainbow breathing 🌈🧘🏻
In Crew MW, we have been continuing to look at different feelings. This week we have looked at feeling angry. We talked about times we might feel angry and why we might have those feelings. We then discussed how rainbow breathing could help people who are feeling angry to feel calm and happy again. We followed the tutorial on the screen and we really enjoyed seeing each colour appear after each inhale and exhale.
Germany! 🇩🇪
In crew sessions we have been learning about Germany, we have learnt how to say hello in German and created a german and hat and flag. We are loving finding out about a different country!
RWI Workshops
Thank you to all of our parents who came and engaged in our Read, Write, Inc. workshops today and last week. We loved having you in to talk through how we are teaching your children to read and how you can help them at home! We’re looking forward to having you in to see some phonics in action this year!
