Class 5/6

In our Class Worship we explained what trust meant to us and who we could put our trust in. We also told the story of Brother Andrew the Bible Smuggler, who put his trust in God and risked his life to smuggle Bibles to countries that found it hard to get hold of them.

There’s Snow Place Like St James’

The children has lots of fun playing together in the snow. Our class said: “It was fun to play out in the snow with my friends because we don’t usually get enough snow to play with. Its a shame there wasn’t more so we could build snow men.”

Christmas Enterprise Event

We worked hard and used our DT skills to make Christmas decorations to sell at our Enterprise Sale. We are raising money to pay for extra activities for all the children in Key stage 2. We have given The School Council some ideas as to how  we would like the money to be spent on and they will be making a decision soon. We are excited to find out if our ideas will be selected

Remembrance Day

As a school we commemorated a 100 years since the First World War ended. In class we used the IPads to find a soldier who lived near us and used a variety of sources to find out what we could about them. So we could make a ribbon of remembrance for local soldiers. At 11:00 we all observed two minutes silence in honor the fallen. In the afternoon we planted our own poppies with class R/1.

Evacuee Experience Trip

Recently we went on a class trip to find out what it might have been like to have been evacuated in World War Two. We learned lots of things about what life might have been like and looked at artifacts from the time. The highlight of the day was the steam train journey and the role play billeting.

Reading at the Community Centre

We went to the community centre to share some of our favourite reading books with some of the older members of the community. We read to them and then they shared their favourite reading experiences with us. We were amazed to find that some of the books we enjoy reading today were the same ones that they read when they were younger.

We enjoyed our afternoon so much that we have asked if we can come back and share some of the games we play with them.

Maths Morning

We spent the morning using practical objects to solve math problems in groups. We used plates, counters and cups to help with our challenges.

RE Day

We thought about how we could help the Sierra Leone through the Bishops harvest appeal. We learnt a little bit about the Sierra Leone and thought about how we might be able to help improve peoples lives there. We also learnt about how different Christian values could help us achieve this and make us better people.

Science Day

After a WOW! Science assembly in which we learned lots of science facts and saw some fiery experiments. We then helped to teach Reception class about how our digestion system works using a plastic bag and tights.
