Year 6 - Expressing our views of Jesus
Today during our RE session, the children focused on expressing their own views and understanding of Jesus. They explored how Jesus can represent guidance, hope, love and faith in people’s lives. Using creativity and reflection, the children designed and created their own crosses to symbolise their personal interpretations of Jesus and what He means to them. The children thoughtfully selected different images and symbols to include in their designs, such as lighthouses to represent guidance and safety, pathways to symbolise direction and following the right path, gates to show welcome and new beginnings and flowers and elements of nature to reflect beauty, growth, peace and creation. The activity encouraged the children to think deeply about their beliefs and express their ideas in a meaningful and imaginative way.
Year 3- English- Prediction and Discovery
Today, our classroom was transformed into a mysterious moonlit garden, complete with a nighttime insect soundscape and dimmed lights to help us immerse ourselves in our new story, It Fell from the Sky. The children discovered a display of pebbles, moss, and flowers surrounding a "mystery object", a glimmering crystal orb that appeared to have landed in the centre of the room. After exploring the display and the book's front cover, the children practised their grammar skills by using 'a ' or 'an ' to describe the "extraordinary wonder". To finish the session, they used these clues to write their own predictions about what this object is and where it might have come from.
