Year 5 R.E- Visit from Reverend Adam
This afternoon, we had a visit from Reverend Adam from 'The United Reformed Church'. He came to talk to the class about the Bible. He answered lots of questions which the children had prepared. The children were also given the opportunity to explore different types of Bibles. We looked at 'The Police' Bible which had a section titled 'HELP'. This section directs you to passages that might help you if you're feeling lonely, if you're feeling afraid or if you just simply want to pray for someone you love. The children were also introduced to a song which might help to remember the books of the Bible. Reverend Adam also read his favourite story from the Bible, 'The Lost Sheep and Coin'.
Reception: Comparing numbers
Today the children have been comparing numbers using the vocabulary more than, less than and equal. They used weighing scales to see which side had more and less and also made the scales equal using the same amount of cubes.
