Month: February 2020

Class 2 have their class assembly along with Primary 6/7 next Thursday (March 5th).

They will be performing the song ‘Lean on me’ as part of this assembly and need to practice the words of this for homework (lyrics are in the homework pouch)every day this week and next week so they know the words by heart, without looking at them.

Tomorrow we will finalise our script for the learning we are sharing as part of the assembly and some of the children will have an individual speaking part. These words should also be practised every day for homework so they are learnt by heart without having to read the words.

Thank you for your support with this homework and we look forward to seeing you next week for the assembly!

 

An extremely busy week in class 2. Here is some of what we have been learning –

Miss Hunter’s wedding assembly featuring Kit as the groom, Kayden as father of the bride,  Mariam as the minister and Khadija as the bridesmaid!

 

Miss Hewitt was very excited to have been invited along to Big Noise to see Mariam play her violin and sing in her after school club 🙂

As if all wasn’t that enough! After patiently (most of us!) waiting all week on Friday before lunch we finally found out where we were going on our top secret special trip – to see Miss Hunter coming out from her wedding! Everyone had a fabulous time seeing the very beautiful bride and getting a hug from the new Mrs Creevy.

 

Have a well deserved rest this weekend and see you next week for some more fabulous learning 🙂
