Ms. Crowley

Welcome to Miss Crowley's 2nd Class

First Holy Communion

Congratulations to all the boys and girls in 2nd Class who received the Sacrament of the Eucharist on Saturday, 7th of May. It was a very special day. You were all so confident with your prayers, readings and hymns and you should be so proud of yourselves!

Working with Money

We have been learning how to work out the correct change in Maths so we set up a few shops in the classroom where the children could buy and sell classroom objects to help them. They got on really well figuring out how much change was owed.

Planting in 2nd Class

2nd Class have been very busy planting in class. Some children chose to plant sunflowers and some children chose to plant carrots. We have been looking after them for the past few weeks and are finally seeing some growth. The children took them home to care for them and watch them grow at home!

Birds' Nests

Take a look at some of our Spring Art!

Engineer's Week

The children in 2nd Class were very busy planning, designing and creating their Marble Mazes! Didn't they do a great job?

World Book Day!

We had a great time celebrating the 25th anniversary of World Book Day! We wrote our own stories and illustrated them too. The following day we finished our bookmarks. Here are some of our finished products!

Big Travel Challenge

2nd Class took the lead with this challenge and a wonderful job was done to collect all of the data. We achieved our goal!!! Well done to each and every one of you for coming to school in a sustainable way! 45% of us now walk to school!

Following a recent survey of the transport methods children are using to get to school, we have noticed that 39.6% of children are coming by car. As a result, we have chosen to focus on the sustainable method of ‘Walking’ to school as part of our work towards our sixth Green Flag.
A Green Schools ‘10 Day Challenge’ will take place between Monday, 14th of February and Wednesday, 2nd of March where we will be encouraging children to walk to school or park ‘n’ stride where possible. Our aim is to decrease the number of cars coming to school and increase the number of walkers, in particular.

Hopefully by Wednesday, 2nd of March we will notice a difference in numbers. Please see our progress below!

Check out the rap that our class created below to promote awareness about walking to school!

Recent Classroom Activities

2nd Class learned how to do marbling in Art over the past two weeks. We used the finished sheets to create the planets in the solar system for Space Week!

Kandinsky

We learned about Wassily Kandinsky in Art. We created some paintings inspired by his work!

'Paper Dolls'

In 2nd Class we read Julia Donaldson's book, 'Paper Dolls'. In our English reader, we were also learning how 'paper people' are made. We hope you like the paper people we made in Art!
