Online Safety Rap Prep in Year 4
In preparation for Safer Internet Day on Tuesday 6th February, we have been looking at developing a rap linked to Online Safety. We rehearsed rhyming couplets and looked at pairs of words that we could use such as click and trick, share and beware, friend and send. The children did really well and pushed themselves completely out of their comfort zones! We can’t wait to hear the finished article next week in the special Safer Internet Day Worship.
Year 6 Music
Year 6 really enjoyed their music lesson this week. They have been developing their skills using the boomwhackers by playing various tunes.
Year 6 PSHE
In PSHE, year 6 focused on the qualities of good friends. We started by discovering that it is okay for friends to have different views and interests. We did this by presenting a series of statements and noticed that there were so many differences within our year 6 class: some agreed and some disagreed with the statements. We ended the lesson with the children explaining what they felt were the most important qualities of friendship. Not only did they have to list the quality, but justify why it is important.
WOW Group - Messy Church Planning
The WOW Group have been busy planning their lunchtime messy church sessions. This week, they were making posters to advertise the sessions and, next week, they will be explaining what they are all about in worship.
Year 2 - PSHE
This week in PSHE, we are still looking in particular at rights and respect. We read the book ‘My mouth is a Volcano’ by Julia Cook, in the book, a boy struggles to keep his emotions regulated. We thought about when we can be in similar situations at school. Recently, it has been difficult to remain calm on the playground when games don’t go the way we wanted. We spoke about different strategies to use to help us regulate emotions in those difficult situations.
Year 3- History-Why did Tudor children work and what was it like?
This afternoon, the young historians delved into the Tudor era, exploring the lives and working conditions of that time. The children were amazed by the differences in daily life. Girls didn't attend school; instead, they assisted with household chores such as cooking, cleaning, and looking after younger siblings. Meanwhile, boys often apprenticed with blacksmiths, learning to craft tools, horseshoes, and more using metals to bring money for the family. They often worked long hours often cramped and uncomfortable environments. They weren't privileged to attend school as we do, and their toys and clothes were simpler. Despite these differences, they still found ways to have fun and enjoy their time like us!
Year 4 - English: Debate
In Year 4, we have made a great start on our debate topic. We looked at statements linked to deforestation and decided whether each one was an argument for or against. We find far more arguments against deforestation than for it.
Rev Ben's Worship: Turning to God
