As a learning community centred in Christ, we walk hand in hand with God on our journey in faith.
Life in 4B
Maths
We have been learning about multiplication and division this half term. We have had lots of practice using resources, whiteboards, our math journals and our White Rose books.
Pilgrimage to Rome
The children from 3B and 4B joined together for our pilgrimage to Rome to celebrate the Jubilee year of Pilgrims of Hope. Together with the parents, we created some lovely verses for our Pilgrims of Hope song. As well as this, we recreated our own Michelangelo style art pieces and redesigned the uniforms of the Swiss Guards. We also got to taste some delicious Italian food! It was a very exciting afternoon.
Hanukkah
In order to celebrate different faiths we learnt about Hanukkah. Hanukkah is a special Jewish celebration. The word 'Hanukkah' means 'rededication' and the celebration marks the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem which was destroyed and rebuilt by a small group of Jewish fighters who stood up and fought for their religion and rebuilt the Temple. Hanukkah lasts for 8 days and during Hanukkah people celebrate by giving each other presents/money, eating traditional Jewish foods and playing traditional Jewish games, such as playing with a dreidel.
Culture day
In 4B we had a culture day to raise money for CAFOD. This was a lovely way to celebrate all the different cultural backgrounds of our class members. All the children came dressed in the colours of the flag of their country and brought in an item that was special to their culture for a show and tell!
Fire Brigade
The fire brigade came to teach us all about fire safety and what to do if there was fire. We learnt about fire exit routes and how to get out of a house safely.
For World Children's Day we did a range of activities. Including, a debate for Who should we vote for Prime Minster, Mr Brown or Mr Curry? We also practised in school emotional well-being by: Mindfulness colouring, listening to relaxing music ,meditation, fitness camp, zumba, hopscotch and playing with friends.
Police Museum
We went to the police museum to learn about the change in the police through history and to learn how the police solve crimes.
We learnt that even though people did something wrong there rights were still respected. We learnt that part of the polices job is to protect our rights.
DT
In DT we have built our own functional slingshot cars. We made the base and designed the chassis and then tested them against each others.
Computing
In Autumn we created a multimedia fact file all about our school.
Maths
In maths we have been working on multiplication and division.
Science
In Autumn we have been investigating Sound. We have used Microbits to gather and record results to see how volume changes depending on the force and medium used about the source of the sound.
Art
In art we investigated light. We studied the artist Caravaggio and his use of contrast to create from. After experimenting with different medias we created our final piece of plant pots.
