Religion
Year 2R
Year 2R turned off the lights, closed their eyes and imagined looking at the night sky. They thought about their feelings and how we are always close to God.
We praise you Lord for all the wonderful things that you have created for us!
Year 2R created their very own Psalm. Here is a short clip of a pupil leading our reading today.
Year 2R-We went for a walk around school to explore all of God’s creations!

PSHE
We recognised that we all make mistakes but it is important that we learn from them! It is important that we apologise and say sorry. We also recognised that it is equally important to forgive others for their actions. We thought about something that we are sorry for and read them out to one another. As a symbol of saying sorry, we scrunched up the piece of paper and put them in the bin. We put our sorry behind us and started fresh to move forward.
Year 2R have been learning about online safety! Take Buddy the dogs advice to stay safe online!
Year 2R thought about how we can take care of our local environment.
We all have rights and responsibilities in Year 2R!
I have the responsibility to care for God’s creatures.
I have the right to be listen to.
I have the responsibility to not hurt other people.
I have the right to pray for people that die.
I have the responsibility to listen to my friends.
I have the right to be kept safe.
I have the responsibility not to say bad words.
I have the right to be loved.
I have the responsibility to respect people.
I have the right to an education.
We recognised our class rules and why they are important!
