Year 2 Guy Fawkes Workshop

Year 2 had a fantastic time learning about Guy Fawkes yesterday! The children were fully immersed in an exciting and interactive learning experience as they explored the story of Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot.

To bring the history to life, the children took part in a range of fun activities:

Firework Art
They created brilliant firework pictures using chalk, experimenting with colour and movement to make their artwork sparkle on the page.

Costume Photoshoot
The class loved dressing up in different themed costumes and taking part in a photoshoot – there were plenty of smiles and giggles!

Secret Code Cracking
Our young historians decoded special Guy Fawkes–themed secret messages, just like Guy Fawkes and the conspirators would’ve written and decoded in the 1600s.

A Dance from the 1600s
To finish the day, the children learnt a traditional dance from the 17th century. It was wonderful to see them stepping back in time.

The children showed great enthusiasm, curiosity and creativity throughout the day. We are so proud of how engaged they were and how much they learned while having such fun!

Well done, Year 2!

🌟🌟Achievement Assembly 🌟🌟

Friday 14th November  

This week the children across school have all been working incredibly hard in their classes. On Tuesday, the children took part in a fire alarm practice. They responded calmly and sensibly, showing great maturity. They also observed a respectful two‑minute silence for remembrance, reflecting thoughtfully together as a school community. On Friday, the children joined in celebrating Children in Need. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm and kindness as they supported such an important cause. The day was filled with fun activities, and the children showed real generosity of spirit. We are very proud of how the children engaged in all events this week. Thank you for your continued encouragement and support.
