7 Red had an amazing time in the immersive room at Epinay school.
From roller coasters, to football, to volcanoes !!! With sights and sounds to fully ‘immerse’ the children in different worlds.
This week in year 4 we have been investigating the permeability of different rocks. The children discovered rocks such as slate and granite were less permeable than rocks such as limestone and sandstone.
Today in 1 Blue, we have been learning to read maps using symbols. We learned that symbols can represent a certain feature of a place. For example, one symbol we looked at was for a campsite, the symbol that represented this was a tent and a caravan. We then went on to look at a map of Jangaland and discuss what the symbols meant before looking at the key to check if we were right!
We had an assembly with Reverend Ian from St John’s church. Today he talked to the children about break time. He recalled a story from the New Testament regarding the day of Sabbath. He talked about how the day of Sabbath is a day of rest, time to recharge and how beneficial it is. He then discussed whether we should also do jobs, relating it to Jesus helping people on the Sabbath day. We talked about Jesus healing people and helping others. How we could also help people during our breaks? The children came up with some fabulous ideas of how we can help each other during our breaks. Suggestions such as helping people who are lonely by playing with them, if someone is hurt then make sure they are ok or get them some help, let people join in with games or agree to play a few different games so everyone gets to choose their own ideas. We then had a school prayer and sang a song.

As part of our new text, ‘Leon and The Place Between’ the children have enjoyed completing some drama based activities. As you can see, they fully embraced the challenge.
A fabulous first week back in Reception! Our new theme is ‘Ticket to Ride’ and we have been learning about different reasons why we would use a ticket. We’ve looked at lots of the different tickets children have brought in, designed our own and even had a hunt for golden tickets! We’ve drawn and built transport, used our maths skills and so much more!
