Stories and riddles
23 Jan 2026This week, Form 2 presented their assembly to Main School, based on an African story Handa’s Surprise.
The children changed the story to make their own individual stories using adjectives and time connectives. They acted out brilliantly and spoke clearly and with expression.
This week, Form 2 have been writing the Creation story. They discussed the sequencing and the importance of getting the order correctly written. Form 2 had a great debate as some children believe in the Creation story while others do not and some children are not sure if they believe in the story. Well done, Form 2.
In maths, the children have been consolidating time. They have been working at o'clock, half past and quarter past. The children have also been ordering two- or three- digit numbers. Additionally, they also enjoyed making a human bar chart to represent favourite African animals for the Main School assembly.
In science, they were learning how to use stopwatches. They had many different activities to complete and they had to remember to record their results accurately.
In art, the children were constructing and designing their own Matisse collages. They were very imaginative and colourful.
During PSHE, Form 2 talked about friendship. They discussed what they would do to resolve an argument and how to ask for help if a friendship was making them unhappy.
The children had an opportunity to try Haggis at lunchtime for the Burns Night celebration. This is one of Mr McCarthy’s favourite lunches!
