What a wonderful week it’s been for Year 2! We've had a busy and creative week, filled with Easter activities, a lovely trip to church, and a fantastic effort in raising money for the Active Mile. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to:

The children have had a blast getting creative with lots of Easter-themed crafts. It's been a great opportunity for them to use their imagination while also getting into the Easter spirit. We've even had some lovely handmade cards and baskets displayed around the classroom.

On Thursday, Year 2 went on a special trip to our local church to learn more about Easter traditions and what the season means in the Christian faith. It was a lovely experience and a great way to connect classroom learning with real-life experiences.

This week, Year 2 also took part in the Active Mile challenge to raise funds for our school. The children and parents walked, ran, and jogged their way around the track, showing fantastic energy and teamwork. Thank you to everyone who supported this event by joining in and donating.

We’ve had a fantastic end to the term, and we want to wish you all a very Happy Easter! Enjoy the break, and we look forward to seeing the children back in class after the holidays.

We were shocked to find that they had passed all the way along the line of 30 children!
