St Anne's Catholic Primary School

As usual, Learn Its will be sent home every Friday and the children will be tested the following Friday. Your child's Learn Its will be the same for the whole term. We do not expect your child to learn them off by heart straighaway, but would like their score to improve each week, so by the end of the term they know them off by heart. Please can we also ask that your child keeps revisiting the Learn Its given since the beginning of the year. 

We kicked off our new term with a jam packed week. Wednesday was Ash Wednesday, we started the day with a mass and recieved ashes. 

Wednesday also saw a visit from Katie Poels, a local author.

Thursday was World Book Day. The children looked fabulous in their costumes. We celebrated the day by writing a story which started in Nursery, was added to by reception and then Year 1 and finally was finished by Year 2. We also had a very special lesson based on the dream chapter in the BFG. We made our own dream jars and dream catchers. 

This week our work has included delving into out class book, The Antlered Ship. I have attached the story below if you would like to read it and it explore it more at home. 

Some of our children have been working on their phonics and doing a wonderful job. 

A highlight of the week for many of us is our music class with Miss Toole, this term we are composing. Below are two QR codes, just hoover your smart phone camera over them and they will take you straight to a video. 

In RE we are learning about Lent and the importance of forgivenness, why we seek forgiveness and what happens when we are forgiven, To help this week we have been learning the Parable of the Lost Sheep. 

Thank you for your generousity, with still a day to go we have a huge pile of donations for Ukraine. It will be collected tommorrow and taken over to Ukraine next week.

This week we have been busy learning our new model text, which is a recount from Marco's perspective based on The Anterlered Ship. I have included the QR codes which show the videos of children retelling Marco's Journey. 

I have attached a few more photos from the children enjoying their learning this week. 

We have had a great time in P.E. this week. Miss Gould taught Year 2 how to hold and throw a javelin correctly.  I was very impressed with how far some of the javelins travelled and the speed in which they flew throught the air.

Check out the Forest School page - I upload photos here each week from our Forest School session. 

This week the children have been working really hard having our practise SATs week. They have been superstars and put lots off effort in. 

Also this week our music lesson took us outside and we reviewed our final pieces of art as well as gave feedback to each other. 

We have been learning about homophones. These are words that sounds the same but don't look the same or have the same meaning. Here are the homophones we have learnt so you can talk about them at home...

see     sea

blew    blue

flour      flower

bear     bare

bee       be

whole       hole

one      won

here       hear

sun        son  

We can't believe we are now in the last week of term! The children have worked really hard this term and we have made some excellent progress. This week has been busy, busy, busy. Miss Talbot fitted a weeks worth of activities into two days!

Here are some pictures of our delicious baking, our easter craft and some of our re counts. The QR codes will take you to a video of the childrens compositions in music. 

If I haven't photographed your child's recount and you would like to see it, please do come and ask us!
