Autumn 2 Week 2

We have enjoyed gardening this week; successfully harvesting seeds, clearing the leaves, digging up weeds, preparing the soil and planting crocuses and daffodil bulbs. Please send in a change of shoes next week so that we can continue tending to the gardens.

On Remembrance Day, we took part in a pilgrimage around the school, praying and remembering loved ones who have passed, as well as those affected by war. Thank you for sending in photos of your loved ones for our prayer table.

     

We explored the Ice Palace’s setting in English this week, with the uses similes to create vivid imagery, such as describing the palace as “sparkling like a field of diamonds” or “standing majestic and cold, like a giant silver crown.”

In Science, we explored the properties water, when in the form of ice, hot showers, and semi-frozen puddles. We compared and contrasted these states of water, using our scientific understanding and critical thinking skills.

During Anti-Bullying Week, our participation in Odd Socks Day was a delightful reminder that we should celebrate our differences. This event led to discussions about respect and the traits that constitute a true friend.

Lastly, our History Roman workshop on Thursday was indeed a fantastic way to launch our topic. The hands-on experience of object handling and sorting as well as investigating various aspects of Roman life helped us grasp the intricacies of the Roman economy, settlements, army training, and the societal roles that shaped this ancient civilization. Such immersive experiences are crucial in helping the children retain knowledge while developing their analytical skills. Thank you for your ongoing support.
