Reception visited Church to look for key items within Church. They worked extremely hard and could discuss the items found. 

This week Year 4 started their new English unit. We are participating in National Storytelling Week and on Monday we had a live lesson with author Tola Okogwu who wrote the exciting ‘Onyeka’ series. She gave us some top tips on how to create our own stories. We can wait to see characters and stories unfold this week. 

Year 5 continued their topic on singing and playing in different styles. In this lesson they focused on the tempo of a song and began to perform the song through singing and playing on the glockenspiels.

This week is storytelling week and Nursery were greeted with a very exciting box. 

We opened the box to find different props and stories. The children had a lovely time creating their own stories and reading stories from our library. 

Today Year 6 started their new English unit. We are participating in National Storytelling Week and today we had a live lesson with the brilliant author Tola Okogwu who wrote the ‘Onyeka’ series. She helped us understand how to create our own stories. We can’t wait to get creative with our own writing now over the next two weeks!

This week in RE year 2 had a visit from Reverend Gareth where he discussed the different Easter symbols and where and why we will find them in the church. We looked at a paschal candle, a crucifix, bread and wine, palm leaves and the symbols of the tomb Jesus was buried in. The children then chose w2 of these items and wrote about what they represent. 

This week in RE the children have been exploring how objects can bring us comfort and have special meanings. Year 3 have thought about an object that is special to them, who gave it them and what memories they have with that object also special people in their lives. We then considered how Hindu pray with music and the special items they might have in a shrine. 

We have loved having the children’s families join us this week for our Belong, Believe, Achieve  workshop. It was a great success. The children were able to show their families what they have been learning about in class. We are very proud of them. 

This week Year 4 have been looking at different elements of writing. They have explored casual conjunctions to join two sentences together and have also been the teacher by marking some of Mrs Halpin-Power’s work on direct speech. Well done Year 4, keep up the super work!
