In our class worships this week, our focus has been on forgiveness. As a class, the children have been spending time thinking about this and putting it into practice, which is great to see. In RE, we have been looking closely at the poetry and symbolism in the first creation story from Genesis, noticing the language within it that helps us to understand how the world was formed. We went to Mass on Tuesday and enjoyed our first service at Church of this academic year.
In English, we have continued looking at chapter 1 and 2 of the Iron Man. We have paid particular attention to the descriptive language of the cliffs and sea. The children went on to read a poem called The Sea by James Reeves, in small groups they have performed their poem to the class. We will use this as inspiration next week, as the children will be writing their own setting descriptions.
In Maths, we have continued our number line work and comparing numbers up to 1000. Using greater than and less than, and solving problems about this.
In Science, we have looked further into food groups and the 7 main nutrients that foods can provide. The children selected 10 foods that they could buy which would include a healthy balance of the food groups and nutrients.
In Spanish, the children enjoyed finding Spain on the Map and learning about the traditions in Spain.

At Our Lady's we like to support our parents/carers in Online Safety matters.
