Year 3 talked about their goals for this year. Here are some of them:
-learn my timestables
-improve my concentration
-be kinder to my friends
-learn my spellings
We also thought about what excuses we make sometimes for not achieving our goals. Here are some of them:
-I forgot what my goal was!
– I didn’t have time to practise
– I was distracted by my friend
-It was too hard to achieve
In year 3, we are all looking forward to our new Ancient Greek topic on Gods and Mortals. We also talked about how the Roman God Janus reminded us of the end of the year 2016 and the beginning of 2017. We are all looking forward to what this year brings!
Year 1 had lots of ideas about resolutions they have made for 2017.
Isla wants to improve her fitness. Milly wants to learn to swim a length. Demi wants to learn to ride her bike without stabilisers. Gracie wants to learn more words to improve her reading. Isla G wants to learn a new skill- Irish dancing. Ellis wants to get better at his numbers. Keeleigh wants to improve her handwriting. Megan wants to get better at phonics. Oliver wants to achieve his green belt at Karate. Charlie wants to get fit. Connor wants to ride a scooter with 2 wheels without falling off.
All the children agreed that they will need to practice lots and work hard showing determination to achieve their goals.
Lots of children said they were looking forward to holidays in 2017. Oliver can’t wait to go to a cottage in Cornwall and Adah said she was looking forward to going to the seaside with her cousins. Ellis is looking forward to celebrating his 6th birthday at Umberslade farm. James is really excited as he is moving to a new house very soon and will have a new bedroom.
The children enjoyed hearing about the Roman God Janus and thought it was funny that he had 2 heads one to look back on the old year and one to look ahead to the new year.
Year 2 enjoyed assembly this morning and we talked about New Year’s Resolutions. We heard how some people in the old days used to have their chimney cleaned because it brought good luck for the New Year. We also heard the story about the god Janus and how he had two faces – one looking back on what had happened and one looking forward to the new things coming. That’s what we have done this afternoon in Year 2.
In class we each shared some things we want to improve on in 2017. Some of the things we want to improve are times tables, cleaning our rooms, playing nicely, joining our handwriting, watching less tv (although this will be hard!) and reading more books! Even Miss Payne is going to read more books! It’s hard to keep resolutions because we forget and sometimes they are habits which are hard to stop – like biting our nails!
Epiphany is when the kings travelled to see Jesus. We don’t know if there were 3 kings. There might have been more! But there were definitely 3 gifts. We had them in our Nativity before Christmas. Some of us in Year 2 will be having special journeys in the summer to go on holiday and also to visit some family who live in other countries.
NEW YEAR
I remember that some people used to clean their chimneys and some people stay up until midnight to celebrate the new year.
My resolutions are to be more helpful around the house, stop biting my nails and being nicer to my brother.
I am looking forward to learning about new things at school and going on holiday with my mom then with my dad, dads girlfriend and brother.
SUCCESS
People might forget their resolutions or they might be too difficult to do.
Janus had two faces, one of them was to look back on the past year and the other was to look on to the future and what would happen.
People thought it was lazy to not work even though it was the holiday.
I enjoyed assembly when the powerpoint told us about different ways people celebrate new year and different times people celebrate new year.
I also thought of my new years resolution which is to help others and to keep going and not giving up when struggling with hard work.
The roman God Janus is to do with new year because he has two heads one on the left which means a new year and one on the right to look into the future of good things.
1. Some people in the oldays had their chimney sweeped as it brouht good luck for the new year.
My resolution is to excersise more and stop biting my nails.
I’m looking forward to going to secondary school and taking my SATS.
I think many people fail becase they can’t remember, they gave up, it was too hard or they are too busy.
Epiphany is when the Kings travelled to see Jesus in Bethlehem.

4. The roman god Janus has two heads because one looks to the future and one looks to the past
5. For the New Year , i am planing to make lots of new friends and have a happy future
Why do you think so many people fail to keep their new year resolutions?= Me and Callista think that people fail them because so many people either forget them or come up with impossible resolutions so they cant do them.
What does the Roman God Janus have to do with New Year?= Janus has 2 heads because of new beginnings and ends of the year.
My new years resolutions are to stop biting my fingernails and to compliment my friends more often. I hope I can achieve these resolutions this year. I am looking forward to sats because at the ned you get a treat. I am also looking forward to going to condover and moving to my new secondary school, Tudor Grange.
People might fail their resolutions because maybe they didn’t make their resolutions clear. eg someone set their resolution to loose weight. To make it more specific you could say I am aiming to loose a stone every two weeks. They also might fail because they have set themselves tasks that are unrealistic and are impossible tyo do. eg a 7yr old girls sets themself a tack to lift a 20kg kettle bell. Janus has two heads and says that he looks back at the past year (2016) and looks forward at the new year a head (2017). The romans worked on the first day of the new year because they didn’t want to be lazy as it was the first day and it was a chance to turn over a new leaf for the year a head.
The three wise men visited jesus after his birth bringing bearing giftsa of gold, frankincense and myrr.

year out.
My new year resolution is to smile more at people and be happier with things I have achieved.
