Our focus in RE this week has been about angels, since they seem to feature so much at this time of year. Children had so many questions about angels and spent time wondering about them. We then found evidence from the bible so we could figure out what purposes angels seem to have
In history this week, children proudly showed their amazing pyramids. We had structures you could eat, minecraft creations and some with real treasure. They were stunning! Children asked so many questions too - we did not find all the answers! However, we did discover who built the pyramids - thanks to a builder’s village excavated next to the Great pyramids. It was not as Disney would have us believe in ‘The Prince of Egypt’ film! Ask your children to explain.
In other news, some super problem solving in maths with larger numbers, french we have been learning all about clothing and in English we have studied our fairy tale ‘The Pied Piper,’ learning our own version and now it time to create our own stories.
Let’s Celebrate!
This week, a Sadie Spider certificate goes to Isioma for trying so hard in all she does. You are doing so well! Also a Kiki chameleon/Cooper Crab certificate goes to Grace. You can always be trusted to be ready to learn and you put so much thought into all you do. Well done girls!
