Yesterday was a very exciting day in Year 2 as we finally (after much eager anticipation) received our delivery from the 'Living Eggs' programme. 'Living Eggs' is a scheme that allows children to monitor chicks from their time in their eggs and incubator to when they hatch. We are so pleased our eggs are here!

The start of the new school year has brought about some exciting new opportunities for our children in music.
Our new Year 2 class have settled back into school with no problems and have been working very hard, much to the pleasure of their teacher Mrs Toward.
On Wednesday the 2nd of July Year 2 accompanied by Miss Heal, Mrs Crawley, Mrs Daly, Mrs Hearne, Miss Gray and Jonathan Burn all travelled to Whitehouse farm in Northumberland. We had an excellent day and saw lots of lovely animals, we fed them, petted them and even held some of them! The weather was kind to us and everyone enjoyed themselves!

St Peter and St Paul - 29th June
Year 2 really helped us to celebrate our Saint's Feast Day at our weekly Tuesday Assembly. The children talked about both St Peter and St Paul and even had a poem about the two disciples. We sang 'Peter was a Fisherman' and some children did a small role play to show us the meaning behind the words.
What a wonderful assembly - Thank you Year2!
Year 2 (and Alfie from Year 1!) took part in a multi skills activity day at Cardinal Hume school this afternoon and had a wonderful time! We took three teams of 10 with us and took part in lots of activities that showed off our various skills in P.E.
We hold this event to share all the hard work the children have been doing in class linked to Easter. This year as well as the eggs decorated at home there were cards, candles, pots, baskets, pop up chicks, boxes and much more - not forgetting the wonderful Easter bonnets traditionally made by our Year 6 children.
We opened on Wednesday night and Thursday morning so that as many parents as possible could see the wonderful crafts made by their children. Thank you to everyone who came.
The Easter raffle winners were - Alice Y5, Jack Y3 and Melissa Y2. Congratulations to all!
Thank you to Year 5 for their wonderful pictures - these will really help the children to reflect on each station.
I Jesus is Condemned to Death
II Jesus takes up His Cross
To view the rest of the stations continue to read on.

As mentioned on the website earlier last week, Years 2 & 3 had been invited to attend a 'Singalong morning' at the Dryden centre, organised by Mrs Porter and the music service.
There were 4 other schools involved and a great time was had by all!
This coming Friday, Year 2 and 3 are involved with a Sing - Along day at the Dryden Centre with lots of other schools from Gateshead. This year's theme is songs from home and abroad and we have been practising lots in school to be ready for the day.
In Year 2 we have been making preparations for our Easter craft Exhibition. (Wednesday March 19th) We have made some beautiful eggs using scraping techniques and worked hard to create a traditional Easter card.
Barnaby travelled to three different continents in the half term holiday. Thank you to all three families who took him with them and sent in some lovely photographs to show everybody!
Year 2 are travelling the world this term with Barnaby Bear! Barnaby is a bear who enjoys travelling and visiting different places. So far, we have read stories about him travelling to Australia and found out about all of the exciting things that he did whilst he was there.
We then thought about what he'd need to take with him when he travelled and packed a suitcase for him, after that, we wrote a postcard from him telling everybody all about what he had been doing.
