During this week the children have began the next stage for their final products. We learnt how to mix colors creating the desired effect for our skin tones, so they are ready for the next step using shapes to create our facial features. We are so excited to see how these portraits will look within our banner.
Today were learnt that Romans didn’t just believe in one God like Christians do but they believed in many Gods and Goddesses. This is called polytheism.
We started by taking part in a gallery walk to find out the names and roles of lots of different Roman Gods. We then discussed the different festivals and how they link to Roman festivals.
I loved seeing the drawings the children produced too!
We worked together to sort out what it was like to be a Roman child and if they had things children have today. Each statement we read together and then decided if it belonged on Roman children, children today or both.
Year 5/6 have been learning about the different denominations that have evolved from Christianity over the years. Although, they have the same Jewish core beliefs, they worship God in slightly different ways based on their leaders interpretations of the bible.
At the end of the lesson, we revisited the story of Creation and about Adam and Eve as children were unfamiliar with this bible story and how Christian’s believe the world was created.
Today in Crew Colclough we learned that Romans believed in more than one God/ Goddess and we started to explore 8 of them in today’s lesson. We had to move around the room and copy the name and role of the God/Goddess onto our sheet. Mrs Atherton then challenged us by asking us to memorise 3 of them and their roles and then copy these into our books using Capital Letters for Nouns and beautiful handwriting. We worked incredibly hard today to remember this information.
Today was our final PVPG lesson and I was extremely impressed by how much the children have learnt and remembered from Year 2. It can’t wait to see what we can achieve together in writing this year!
Year started a new unit in computing this week which will be starting to explore the coding programme Scratch. Children had the opportunity to explore the different blocks, starting to build a code and changing their background and sprite. Before we ended the lesson, some children shared their code with the rest of the class on the big screen.
In computing this weel, year 4 were continuing with variables but this week they were making variables and adding to the code we used last week. Once they got the hang of it, children started to expand their maths games by adding additional questions to the code. Children really had to grapple with this and be resilient to ensure that they were successful.
Huge well done to Crew Colclough who won the LKS2 attendance award of juice and biscuits. They had a crew average of 98.85% which is above the attendance target of 95%.
We headed outside to tidy up the Year 1 area, making it a clean and pleasant space for the younger students. They worked diligently, picking up loose leaves and stray litter, and organising the outdoor toys and equipment. By taking on the task of tidying the space, the children demonstrated responsibility and a shared commitment to keeping their school environment tidy.
