Learning about Holy Week and Easter in Room 2

Palm Sunday is at the beginning of Holy Week. We learnt that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. His followers waved palms as he went past. We acted out the story and made a mural with ourselves waving palms.

On Wednesday we made hot cross buns. We kneaded the dough, put a cross on the top and cooked them. We ate them while they were still hot.

Holy Thursday is the last day of lent. We learnt about what happened at the Last Supper. We made a mural and placed ourselves at the table as Jesus' supper guests.

On Good Friday Jesus died on the cross. He was buried in a tomb and a big stone was rolled across the entrance. When his friends went to visit the tomb on Easter Sunday they found that Jesus had risen from the dead. We made a mural with ourselves as friends of Jesus on Good Friday and on Easter Sunday.

Room 2's Assembly

In Week 8 Room 2 had their assembly. We were very excited about being on the stage and talking on the microphone.
We have been learning about 'Resilience' and we did a play called 'Keep Trying' which we adapted from a book by Jane Buxton. Everyone made one of the block letters from the word 'resilience' to decorate the stage.

Addition and Subtraction in Room 2

This term we learnt about addition and subtraction. We used equipment to help us add numbers together and to take  numbers away, up to five. We needed to learn how to record what we were doing and that was quite tricky but we are getting really good at it now. We found that knowing our finger patterns is very helpful. We sang the song Five Little Monkeys and took turns to act it out and record what happened.
