Year 2 really enjoyed learning all about the Rosary with Mrs Newbiggin on Monday.

She taught us which prayers to say when we pray the Rosary.

We loved looking for signs of the Rosary around the Chapel.

Here are some pictures of our work displayed in Oaklands Chapel.

Thank you for coming to see us playing our Ukuleles! We loved showing you our new musical talents and felt proud of what we had achieved. We hope Elephant class enjoy learning the Ukulele next half term as much as we did!
