Forgiveness. Can Bible stories of lost and found help people today?

Today, we looked at Bible stories about forgiveness and reconciliation. We looked at the lost son, the lost sheep, the lost coin and the unforgiving servant.

Music 🎵

Bluebells are really enjoying their music sessions with Miss Taylor on a Friday afternoon. As we are learning about Superheroes this half term, we have been talking about our favourite superhero. We then sang superhero songs whilst practising our high and low notes. The children have enjoyed playing different musical instruments to play alongside a superhero theme tune. Everyone tried really hard to keep in time with the music.

Forces

This half term we are learning all about Magnetism. This lesson we have been investigating 2 different types of forces: contact forces and non-contact forces. We discussed and watched clips about friction, upthrust, air resistance, water resistance, gravitational force and magnetic force. We carried out some mini experiments to see each force in action. Then we finished off by testing our new found knowledge, by carrying out a sorting activity of forces.

We then took turns choosing two primary colours, squeezing or pressing the paint onto the damp paper and then tilting the tray to allow the paint to spread and mix on the surface. We noticed primary colours blending to make secondary Read more

Elf houses

We have been working with clay this half term. We have been practising moulding, rolling and using a ‘slip’ to stick pieces together. We all then designed 3 elf houses and picked our favourite to make out of clay. We used these different clay techniques to create our elf houses.
