Today we had our first session of wiggle worship. Jo came in and delivered the session and the ethos team supported the children. We had so much fun singing the wiggle worship song and praising God with the scarves. We listened to and joined in with the Easter story and then made a beautiful collage butterfly to represent life and transformation.
Today we have been finding equivalent capacities. we used our fractions/ times table skills to help us with our learning.
On Wednesday, we had a really exciting Easter Fun afternoon. We used natural materials to decorate Easter cards, we went on an Easter egg hunt on Kayden’s garden, we spotted the Easter bunny, we drank hot chocolate and ate Easter treats left by the bunny, watched an Easter Film and made Easter crafts. We had such a lovely day and are looking forward to writing a re-count of the day after the Easter.
A huge thank you from the school council to everyone who supported us in raising money for charity by buying tickets for our Easter raffle. We have raised an incredible £634 for our chosen charities! This has been split equally between the Turkey/Syria earthquake and the Ukraine, with each receiving £317. We really appreciate your support in our fundraising and feel incredibly proud. A big well done to our winners too! We have delivered the Read more
Year 5 have spent the morning bonding as a team in forest school. First we recapped the Easter story but we had to work as a team because all the parts of the story were mixed up and hidden around the forest school area. After this, the children used clay to create something that represents Easter to them. The children worked together to find materials for a fire and lit the fire themselves. Once the Read more
Year 5 have been learning all about Islam and what in means to be a Muslim in Britain today. This week we had a special visitor who is a devoted practising Muslim. She spoke to the children about the religious month of Ramadan and celebrating the Festival of Eid-Ul-Fitr. Year 5 really enjoyed listening and were very keen to ask interesting questions which deepened their understanding about the Islamic faith. Well done year 5 for Read more
Bluebells have had a fantastic afternoon taking part in an African drumming Workshop. We learnt all about Djembe drums. We learnt that they come from Mali and are traditionally made from wood. Everyone had a go at playing different rhythms on the drums and played along to some African music.
Today Ethos did a fantastic job retelling the story of Joseph and his coat of many colours. The children spoke clearly and confidently during collective worship. They retold the story with a modern twist. We spoke about how Joseph showed forgiveness towards his brothers even though they were unkind to him. They all received a headteacher’s award sticker. Well done Ethos team.
This Afternoon, children in Year 5 have continued to work on creating their own stuffed toys using skills such as: threading needles, decorating and attaching appendages using a variety of stitches (running, cross and blanket stitch) and adapting or modifying their designs. We have all really enjoyed being creative whilst learning new and useful skills during this craft project. Everyone is looking forward to taking their completed projects home with them. Well done Year 5 Read more
Rowan have extremely enjoyed our science topic, ‘energy’. This week the children have been learning all out energy, different energy stores and how it energy can be converted and transferred. They have also looked at different equations to work out efficiency, speed and power. They particularly loved looking at speed as they managed to work out their speed per as they ran 20m. The children worked very well throughout the lesson, even Mrs Alderson enjoyed Read more
