The children in Year 2 all made beautiful Mothers’ Day cards but Mrs King’s class were having so much fun with our Talent Show Auditions (and even getting a lovely visit from Miss Morrow) that we completely forgot to send them home.

The children have written some lovely messages so we hope you have a lovely weekend celebrating, and get an extended Mothers’ day by receiving them on Monday.

I cannot apologise enough Mums!
Mrs King

Also, here are just a few of our wonderful auditions… We had singers, comedians, dancers and much more!
Results of who made it through will be released soon but everyone who auditioned should be so proud.
We loved seeing all their unique talents.

Year 2 had a wonderfully creative World Book Day, bringing together storytelling and imagination with a splash of maths. The children explored How Big Is a Million? by Anna Milbourne and Serena Riglietti. It’s a beautiful story that sparks curiosity about numbers, size and the world around us.

Inspired by the book’s sense of scale, the children were set a special challenge: to create their own artwork using exactly 100 pieces of tissue paper. This hands‑on task encouraged them to think carefully about counting, grouping, and arranging their materials, all while producing vibrant and thoughtful pieces of art.

To continue the fun, the children then turned their attention to their families. They had to imagine each member as an animal character. From busy bees to cheerful cheetahs, their creations were full of personality and charm.

The classrooms buzzed with excitement all day, and the children should feel incredibly proud of the imagination and effort they poured into their work and costumes. What a brilliant way to celebrate reading, numbers, and creativity all at once. Thank you to any grown ups who helped their children celebrate this day!
