Autumn
Our Liturgy Leaders delivered Pupil Prepared Prayer for the first time. We are very proud of them. 😍
Today we practised our cutting and peeling skills ready for making seasonal tarts in a few weeks time. We used the bridge and claw grip when cutting to keep our fingers safe. We felt like proper chefs! 😄
As part of our Reconciliation, we created a rewind drama where someone made the wrong choice and the we rewound and they made the right choice.
We worked in groups of 4 to create a routine which included a balance, roll, 3 point balance and 1 jump or leap. We performed our routines to each other.
Bonjour, ca va? We continued learning how to greet each other in French. We are French superstars. 🇫🇷
In our ukulele lesson today we planned out what we will be performing in our concert in a few weeks time. We also started to learn a very special song for our performance. 😄

In Art, we used all of the skills learnt in our lessons to create a piece of work for our Remembrance art.
In PE, we discussed what we have done in previous sessions - rolls, jumps and balances. We then explored a variety of leaps. In groups of 6, we worked together to do leaps, balances, rolls and jumps to create a routine.
This week in PE, we created a routine with a 3 point balance, any type of roll and a combined balance and a jump. We then performed our routines.
Space Week 2025 - we learnt about satellites and how they help us learn about the changes in the Earth due to climate change. Each table had a mission to complete where their satellite had spotted a problem on Earth.
In PE, we had 4 different stations to explore involving jumps and balances with a challenge of doing a forward roll.
In Science, we were investigating food as an energy source - we gathered data from different food packages to see which foods had the most & the least amount of energy (kcal)! Some of the numbers were shocking! 😲🍰🍕🍫
We were so proud of all of our children as they stood in front of the Parish on Sunday to profess their faith & desire to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. What a wonderful journey we have ahead of us!
This week in PE, we moved around different stations carrying out different tasks:
- walking along a bench, doing a counter balance with a partner then jumping off.
- doing different jumps off a platform on to a mat.
- walking up a bench, balance on platform and do different jumps off.
Some children even managed to do a forward roll off the platform.
We walked to our church to explore the different areas where we pray. We also had the chance to practice our readings for our mass of commitment on Sunday.
We used our detective skills to put the Rite of Baptism in the correct order

We went to the Phiz Lab & used the skeletons to learnt some of the scientific names of the bones. We measured each other to see how long the different bones were. Did you know that the femur is the longest bone in the body?
In Art we have been using a variety of pencils to practice shading. Today we worked in our table groups to use our observational skills to complete a drawing of an object. We took it in turns to add parts on to the drawing, passing it on when our time was up.

In PE the children travelled across the bench using 2,3 and 4 points, ensuring that they landed safely when jumping off the bench.
Practical Maths on our whiteboards solving calculations involving adding and subtracting hundreds.

We had great fun with the start of our new Science topic. We are learning about skeletons. We drew people with no skeleton & sorted pictures into vertebrates & invertebrates. Did you know that some animals have no hard skeleton?! 😲

What a super effort you have all made with your summer holiday project which was to find out about the Stone, Iron and Bronze Ages. Thank you for all of your hard work. 😍
We learnt about what democracy is by thinking about all of the different choices we make and how they can be fair.

In Literacy, we showed what super writers we are by writing about something we know a lot about e.g football teams, cricket, dinosaurs and ourselves. 😄
