What is a flood? 💧

29th June 2023Kate Thompson

Today in our expedition lesson, we discussed what a flood is and explained why floods happen. A flood is a type of extreme weather. Flooding happens when there is heavy rainfall in a short amount of time. We identified the human and physical factors that cause floods such as deforestation, using concrete to build and steep slopes. We created a poster that informed us on what a flood is and the different causes of flooding. 🌧 💧

Poetry

29th June 2023Ruth Shields

Today, Crew Shields have been practicing reading their poems aloud in preparation for them being recorded on a Monday. We have each other critique and explained the importance of speaking in a clear voice, at a reasonable pace and adding some expression in. We’ll have more time to practice to each other and in front of the class so when Monday comes, we’ll be ready to smash it.

Christianity

In Lesson 2, we learnt about the various events that are held in churches and we built background knowledge around some of these. We used the internet to research and made an anchor chart to present back to the rest of the class.

Crew Mc has found a passion for RE, (also know as Religion education) as we all enjoy it, especially today. Ethan even joked that RE stood for ‘Really Exciting’ 😃. First off, we started with an entry ticket, trying to remember what we watched about a 11 year old boy named Nathan. Next, we listened to some hymns they sing while worshiping. Max and Brooklyn sang along with Miss and some of us recognised the song.

Then Miss came round with various types of bread: the bread represented Jesus’s flesh/body. The instructions were to thank someone in your life every time you ate a piece of bread – we filled out a HoWL card for these special people we appreciate in our lives. Miss had a smile on her face when she had received one on her desk💕

While eating, we watched a couple videos about ‘The Last Supper’ where Jesus said about how the wine represented blood and the bread represented his body.You might already know this but do you know what a holy communion is? A holy communion a ritual commemoration of Jesus’ Last Supper with his disciples. We finished with a de-brief to note down all our new learning to ensure it sticks!

RE continues in MI

28th June 2023Stacey McClare

Today we described and explained what Christians do to show their beliefs at church. We looked at some church windows and thought about what we would see if we peeped inside. We thought about how this would be different on a Sunday morning, weekday and on an evening in the week. We then explored some church notice boards thinking about what was happening. We referred back to our initial ideas thinking about if our ideas were the same. We then looked at a variety of bible quotes and thought about how they relate to the items on each of the notice boards. There was some great discussions here 🙂 Finally we chose one of the things on the notice board and researched more into it. We then shared our ideas as a mini crew before presenting to the whole crew. We all really enjoyed listening to each others ideas and finding out more about the things that happen all the time in churches. We are excited for our next RE lesson 🙂
