Autumn Term 1

 

13-17th October: International Week 

This week we visited 7 different classrooms to learn about 7 different countries!

We learned about: China, South Africa, Vietnam, France, Germany, Bangladesh and Morocco. 

We learned how to introduce ourselves in each language, used atlases, learned about some key historical facts. We also created some beautiful art, including Vietnamese lanterns, Chinese Dragons and Moroccan mosaics.

Friday 3rd October -

In our RE lessons, we have been exploring the rules in both Christianity and Judaism. We explored the Ten Commandments and came up with our own for the class. We then created some Mezuzahs, linking to Jewish tradition where these are placed on doorposts as a reminder to follow the teachings of the Torah. This helped us reflect on how rules guide behaviour and how faith can be expressed through everyday symbols.

 

 

Friday 26th September -

We have been lucky enough to have Drama lessons from the Drama teacher and some 6th Formers from St Alban's Boy School. We have played a range of games including One Word Story, creating freeze frames, mini scenes and Grandma's Footsteps with an acting twist! It has been fantastic to see the children fully embrace these sessions. 

 

 

Our new website is officially up and running. Check back for updates on our learning over the year!
