What a week! I know I say that a lot, but just wait until you see our magic moments!!
In RE this week we came together as a team to work on our Palm Sunday Assembly. This assembly should be full of joy as the people welcomed Jesus back to Jerusalem. We are dancing, singing, acting and speaking - we do hope you will come next week. I have attached the lines to learn here and on the homework blog. We are only able to practise twice next week (Monday and Thursday) so we really need to master those lines this weekend - thank you!
HOW TO HELP AT HOME
The children have shown a deep curiosity l for creatures living in the microhabitats around school - under logs in the compost and raised beds. Why not search your garden or a relatives to see what you can find. If you have a magnifying glass (apps available) use it to observe the creatures. Don’t forget we always put living things back into their natural habitat. I have attached the identifying sheet we made in school to help us to name the things we found.
MAGIC MOMENTS
As I do most weeks I write this blog on Thursday evening. Because of this, the pictures of our trip to the zoo are not included but I will do a special post next week.
We took part in the following learning: Team games with Mr Cornwell (enrichment lessons); wrote pages for a factual book all about penguins; learnt all about micro and macro habitats; went into the school garden (micro-habitat) and searched for and identified creatures; wrote our own notation and melody in music; one of our maths lessons had 8 teachers from others schools watching and sharing our learning; we learnt about apostrophes for contractions to! Not to mention the work we did on our assembly plus we went to the zoo!!!
