Autumn Term 2 Diary Dates
End of half term treats
Well Crew Marsh and Crew Haddock had a love treat to the end of our first half term. We had smores and popcorn in the rain.
Celebrating Harvest with KS1’s first performance to the whole school 🌾🚜🌾
KS1 have worked so hard on their Harvest Festival, sharing their learning with whole school! This was such a brave thing to do, so early on in the academic year, we were very proud of the children. Their confidence shone through. A big thank you to Miss McGlone to helping us with our music skills, we were excited to showcase these on the day.
Brownie Badges
Thank you to Frankie who brought in her Brownie sash this week. She explained to us the badges she has achieved and what she had to do to receive them. She should be very proud of herself. 😊
What do the miracles of Jesus teach us about what is important to Christians?
Magic vs Miracles
We began our lesson today by making objects disappear, it was very exciting! this led us perfectly into our next guiding question exploring the miracles Jesus performed. We discovered that a miracle is an event that goes against nature, cannot be explained and Christians believe they are caused by God. to help us understand this we listened to a story in the Bible, Jesus feeding 5000 people with five loaves and two fish.
We then created our own fish and imagined trying to feed 5000 people with it. It seemed impossible!
This week we have been making Autumnal and Spooky handprints!
Feature finding 🔎
In our writing lesson today, we have looked at different diary entries and discussed what features are included. We found that there are personal pronouns, time fronted adverbials, date, Dear Diary and it is written in past tense. We all worked incredibly hard to find these features in a Roman diary entry.
