Class 2-Mrs Hume

Year 2 trip to Blackburn Museum - Thursday 30th January

As part of this terms topic on Victorian Toys, year 2 will be visiting Blackburn Museum on Thursday 30th January.

Whilst at the Museum their visit will be divided into three parts; first, they will look at toys, both old and new and explore the ways in which we can tell ‘old’ from ‘new’. At the same time the children will learn how the old toys were played with and have a go themselves before, finally, sitting down and making their own toy to take back to school.

In the year 1800 Mary Jones, walked 26 miles, barefoot across rugged mountains, simply to buy a Bible. This inspired the formation of The Bible Society – committed to faithfully living out the belief that the Bible should be made available for every man, woman and child in the world.

We are very pleased to announce Class 2 walked 26 laps around our middle deck playground for our sponsored walk and raised an amazing £475 for The Bible Society!

A huge thank you to our Class 2 parents and families for your sponsors and support with this.

A blue whale is bigger than most dinosaurs, it would fill our playdeck!
