WOW!!! We have had some truly amazing entries for our decorated egg competition. The effort and creativity the children have applied to their designs are fantastic. Well done to all that have taken part!
In RE year one have focusing on the Easter story and the true meaning behind Easter. We looked at Palm Sunday and sequenced the story, made posters about Maundy Thursday and the Last Supper, then we made Easter cards using a stained glass window effect with a cross to symbolise Jesus being crucified on the cross on Good Friday. The children were truly fascinated about the story and learning about new life and the resurrection, and how it linked to getting chocolate eggs from the Easter Bunny.
Year 2 took part in a decorated egg competition. Here are our entries. Can you spot a winner?
Reception have been very busy enjoying the fabulous sunny weather! They have also made some fabulous Easter craft!
This week in DT, we designed and made a pair of hairy trousers based on the saga about Ragnar Lothbrok.
This half term, we have been learning how to create excellent bridge balances in gymnastics. We have been practising how to form the perfect bridge using our bodies.
As part of our ‘Children’s Champion’ theme we have been looking at how schools used to be during Thomas Barnardo’s time and why he decided to step in to help the most poverty stricken children. He created ‘Ragged Schools’ in which all children who were without a home or were poor could access eductaion. They had 3 lessons, the 3 R’s (riting, reading and rithmatic). We have decided we don not want to be in a Victorian school as the chalk made our hands mucky and we couldn’t talk!
In Computing, we learned about algorithms and about repetition within an algorithm. Then, we went on Scratch and created an algorithm with a repetition for our sprite to follow.
We had a visit this morning from Reverend Ian who is based at St. John’s church. He talked about how it is Mother’s Day this weekend. We discussed how mams, nanas , carers and important women are so special in our lives. The children then gave examples of how they are helped from our special people. We then sang a song ❤️
