Learning in Action
The Meaning of Advent Candles
The children worked together to create Advent wreaths to help them understand the meaning of the candles; Hope, Love, Joy and Peace.
Library Visit
We enjoyed our half termly visit to the library. During the visit, the children learnt how to sign out their own books using the self service machine.
Soccer Star Challenge
The children enjoyed taking part in our Soccer Star challenge to raise funds for the school.
Anti-Bullying Week - Choose Respect
The children enjoyed acting out what respect sounds and looks like and how we feel when we show respect.
Animal Habitats
The children enjoyed researching and creating animal habitats as their half termly home learning projects.
3D and Abstract Maps
The children enjoyed using different techniques to create 3D and abstract art using maps of our local area as a stimulus.
Library Visit
We ended the week with a trip to Ross on Wye library. The children loved choosing their own books and sharing stories together.
The Sacrament of Baptism
The children enjoyed role playing the baptism of baby Maria, acting out the roles of the Priest, parents and members of the church congregation. They enjoyed using the symbols of water, oil and a white garment and knew how these would be used during the baptism.
Tree Habitats
During science the children investigated tree habitats on the school field. They quietly searched for signs of life amongst the branches and leaves and on the tree trunk and the ground nearby. We discussed why animals and plants might like to live and grow in these conditions.
Expressing ourselves through Music and Art
The children had a wonderful afternoon listening to excerpts from Shostakovich's Fantasia Suite. They listened carefully and expressed their feelings through their drawings.
Nature Detectives
We really enjoyed investigating our school grounds searching for signs of Autumn. The children worked so well together, developing their team work skills.
