Good morning Class 2!

Well, we have come to the end of the school year and what a strange one it has been. I feel very fortunate that I had you as a class for the first half of the year and very sad that we weren’t able to continue our year together, as normal. You were a wonderful class that had so much enthusiasm for everything we did. Well done for all your hard work over the last few months. I have all those photographs of your lovely work and activities and it will be nice, at some point, to share those together.

Also, an enormous thank you to all the parents that have supported you, whilst home schooling. I’m sure there were some very stressful times but hopefully lots of memorable and positive moments too!

I wish you all a lovely Summer and look forward to us being together again in September.

During the last week of the school year, it’s normally more relaxed so please just dip into the activities for this week and do what you think you might enjoy.

Sam and Mollie have a relative who composed a piece of music called The Sinking of the Titanic. Here is a clip of the piece of music:

Here are the orchestra performing the piece:

When composing this piece he interviewed two ladies who survived the disaster. One of the ladies was 9 years old when the ship sank, she escaped on a lifeboat but unfortunately her father stayed on the ship and didn’t survive. The other lady also got into a lifeboat and comforted another child with a music box she had with her.

Sam and Mollie had a talk on Zoom with Gavin Bryars the composer. They asked him lots of questions about the Titanic and his wonderful music.

Thank you Sam and Mollie (and Mum!) for sending us this fascinating information!
