RE: the Nativity story
Published 16/12/24, by Kiki AminThis term, we are exploring Christianity and… Christmas! Last week, we shared our existing knowledge of Christmas with our talk partners, discussing what we had learnt previously in Year 1 before exploring the story of the Nativity and symbols throughout it! Then, we orally retold the story before collaborating with each other to re-enact key sections of the story. We absolutely loved performing the story chronologically with our peers. Well done, Year 2.

Bird feeders
Published 09/12/24, by Jessica BarnesWe took inspiration from our text, 10 Things I can do to help my world, to create bird feeders. We know birds can struggle to find food in the winter, so we've made bird feeders to place in our school field and allotment. We worked in pairs to create our bird feeders. Can you remember how we made them? What materials did we use?
