We have had a very focused week this week. Although we have dearly missed doing our Shakespeare lessons, we have dived straight into our new learning. After finishing our story of ‘The Little Match Girl,’ we have started studying the folk tales of Brer Rabbit, which are full of fun and trickery! Children are already transfixed by his mischievous character! In maths, we are looking at multiplicative relationships - getting a deep understanding of relationships between multiplication, division and place value.
In RE this week, we have learned about how Jesus is truly God and we have examined our own beliefs as Catholics by looking at The Creed. In our Reconciliation session, we prepared for the Sacrament next Thursday. Children now know the order of events and more details are below about what to expect on Thursday.
The children have loved learning about our own fair country and what happened after the Romans left in England. We have decided to create our own Anglo-Saxon society to be immersed in their simple, community way of life and each child is a family member of the village. We have learned about the chronology of the Anglo-Saxon takeover and also all about their homes and societal system.
Add to that a great Water safety session in the swimming pool on Thursday and our amazing trip today, all in all it has been another exciting week full of learning.
Here are some beautiful pictures sent by The Grand as a memory of our special day and below this, our video showing our trip to Gawthorpe Hall.
