Class 2 News 17.12.20

In Class 2 this week we have been getting into the full swing of Christmas! The children have made Wooden Christmas Decorations to bring home. This took the form of planning a design which they then transferred onto the wooden decoration by sketching it in pencil. They then used paint, pastel and felt tip pens to bring their designs to life before Mrs Sankey sealed them with a lacquer. Thank you Mrs Sankey. We have also spent the week making Christmas Cards, Advent Calendars and Place Mats to use during our Christmas Dinner. The children have thoroughly enjoyed making these alongside the crafts provided to school from the Friends of St Lawrence. Lastly, this year’s virtual panto filled Class 2 with laughter, singing and enthusiasm as we watched it on Tuesday afternoon.

 

Telford & Wrekin Emotional Literacy Support (ELSA)

Telford and Wrekin Emotional Literacy Support (ELSA) have created another 14 day challenge for pupils to participate in. The purpose of the activity is to promote children’s mental health and well-being during these difficult and uncertain times. Each day the children are prompted to take a photograph to help create a positive attitude and give a purpose or focus to their day. All photos can be taken in their house, garden or whilst doing their daily exercise. The photographs will help to spread the happiness!

Fitness Fun!

Last week we welcomed Sasha from Hoola Nation into school to teach us how to hoola hoop.  Sasha is the founder of Hoola Nation and is a world record holder for completing the London Marathon whilst hoola hooping all the way around.  She was extremely impressed with the talents of the pupils here at St Lawrence and everyone enjoyed participating in the workshops.

Forest School Fun

Judie Ellis from Wrekin Forest School has been working with children in the Forest School area on their new themes.  Class 1 have been going on a bear hunt and making porridge, Class 2 have been making stone age weapons and tools, Class 3 have been going back to rationing and making soup with limited ingredients.  All the children have had the most wonderful time learning about their new themes in the outside environment.
