Buenas Dias Swallows

The sun is high in the sky and shining beautifully, it is going to be a gorgeous day I can feel it. I have just been in the garden hanging my washing out, it was lovely to hear the birds all singing to each other. We have filled our bird feeders recently and last night, Thomas put the left over bread onto the bird table and so we are getting more and more little birds visiting our garden. Actually, they are not all little. Yesterday when I got home from school, there twere two huge pigeons arguing over the bread! They were making lots of noise it was funny to watch.

It was lovely talking to so many of your grown ups yesterday either on the phone or in person at school when they bobbed in to drop art work off or pick a home learning pack up. Thankyou to everyone who has brought art work in for our sharing window, it is loking great. Remember to send anything into school that you would like me to display. There is a box in the entrance to school for you to drop your pictures in. I love to see your work Swallows, I always feel very proud of you as I am blue tacking it up. 

Our lessons today continue with The Oak Academy, there is more Spanish in there for us Swallows. Take a look:

Don't forgert these are only ideas, you can collect another home learning pack from school if you would like one. Just email admin@lostockgralam.cheshire.sch.uk to say when you will be collecting it and they will get a pack ready for you and leave it in the entrance hall. The home learning page also has lots of Y2 writing and maths on there.

We will be focusing our blog on Thursday around VE day activities. I know that some children from school have been making bunting ready to celebreate the ending of WW2 Friday. I am getting excited as my lane are planning lots of lovely things (all for us to do in our own gardens) I need to get baking! We are all wearing red, white and blue clothes and listening to war time music on Radio Northwich. I can't wait! Fingers crossed that the rain stays away....

I also uploaded this to the home learning page yesterday. It is a 30 day nature challenge from The Wildlife Trust and it looks really interesting. Maybe you could have a go?

A message from Mrs Powell

Please watch this clip and think about what we talked about yesterday http://tinyurl.com/qbkaq75

I love this story. Do you think Mr George likes cabbage now? Can you imagine how he felt? Victory in Europe (VE) Day marked the end of the Second World War in Europe in 1945. Friday 8th May 2015 was the official 70th anniversary of VE Day. VE Day is another day that many people will never forget as it marked the end of a terrible war in Europe, though there was still fighting in Japan until later that year. Mr George’s memorable day was one of great danger followed by relief at still being alive. This is one type of memorable day although hopefully no one present will experience such a day! My Gran Peggy used to tell me when she had her very first orange as you couldn’t get them during the war; she used to make lots of marmalade as oranges became her favourite fruit! Mr George’s story reminds us that we all have special days that will stay with us forever. We don’t know when they will come or what they will be.
