In RE, we discussed the religion Sikhism. We discovered that it is the fifth largest religion in the world and it has 10 Sikh gurus. The ten Sikh Gurus were the first ten leaders of Sikhism, founded in India. They include Guru Nanak, Guru Angad, Guru Amar, Guru Ram Das, Guru Arjan, Guru Hargobind, Guru Har Rai, Guru Har Krishan, Guru Teg Bahadur, and Guru Gobind Singh.
Crew Hamill worked in pairs this afternoon to investigate how light travels when it hits a reflective surface. We tested our previous knowledge in which we learned that light travels in a straight line to see what would happen when it was travelling towards a surface that it would reflect off. We found out that the light hits the reflective surface and bounces off, changing direction.
Crew Hamill worked extremely hard to create poppies which were added to our class wreath that was beautifully made by Miss Kelly! This was added to the Remembrance Day display that is currently in the entrance hall.
This afternoon, we investigated how light travels. We used a torch and a mirror to see how it reflects. We placed the mirror at the bottom of our page and drew the line following the reflection. We could see that light travels and is reflected in a straight line.
Today, in Crew Boswell, during our RE lesson we began to think about what love really is. We began the session by looking at some popular quotes from the Bible such as, ‘love is patient, love is kind’ that often people share at Christian celebrations in churches such as weddings. These quotes really got us thinking about what love is, who we love, what love looks like, what difference loves makes to us, the community and the wider world, as well as what love isn’t. We shared our thoughts around love and recorded these ‘What love means to Crew Boswell’. We then each created a heart to show what we thought love was using drawings and writing.
After reading the next part of Hansel and Gretel we learnt that Hansel and Gretel came across a gingerbread house in the middle of the woods. It had icing on it and lots of sweets. We created our own gingerbread houses in mini crews and had a competition to see who was the best voted by our parents. It was sticky work but we enjoyed eating it.
Today Y1 got introduced to a racket and how to use it. We played lots of different games with our rackets to get used to how to hold it. I was so impressed and can’t wait to build on this next week.
