During Prayer & Liturgy today, Year 2 listened to the story of creation from the Bible and reflected on the wonder of creation then thought about new beginnings in their own lives. They then said a prayer to give thanks for the amazing and precious world we live in.

Year 2 have settled in really well into their new class. They have been working hard during their first week. Well done and keep it up!

Year 2 have been secretly practising their handwriting with a pen in the hope they earn a pen licence soon after they join Year 3. I think they are already ready for a pen licence. Well done Year 2 for working so hard to write neatly all year.
