Reception- Super sentence writing
This half terms topic is ‘we are explorers’ and this week we have been learning all about the beach. The children have written independent sentences relating to the picture on the writing sheet. The children thought of their own sentences and used the sound mats and tricky word mats to help them.
Year 3- Geography-Exploring South America in Geography
In today’s geography lesson, the children explored the continent of South America. Using atlases, they located South America on a world map and began identifying both physical and human features found across the region. Year 3 watched a short video clip to help bring the landscape to life. The children were amazed by the Amazon Rainforest, the towering Andes Mountains, and the powerful Amazon River. We also explored some of South America's remarkable human landmarks, including the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Other stunning features that captured the children’s interest included Iguazu Falls, one of the largest and most beautiful waterfalls in the world, and the culture and history.
Year 3- Class Worship-The Power of Perseverance
In today’s class worship, we explored the value of perseverance. We watched an episode where Rev Anne didn’t give up while searching for something important, just like in the parable of the lost coin. We were encouraged to keep going, even when things feel difficult. Lisa gave us a prayer challenge using beads, helping us focus on not giving up, especially with our learning and goals. We talked about what perseverance means, and the children shared their examples. Some of the things they prayed for included: Trying their best in tricky subjects like maths or reading. Not giving up when learning to ride a bike. Staying focused when practising for a school play or sports event. Being patient and kind when working with others. Continuing to work hard even when they’re tired or something feels hard. It was a thoughtful time of sharing and reflection, reminding us all to keep going and never give up!
