Our learning this week…
In English we have begun looking at a modern retelling of a myth/ dilemma story and we have also been working on relative clauses.
In maths the children have been adding fractions and mixed numbers.
In RE we’ve been discussing the importance of the Sacrament of Reconciliation – a gift that Jesus has given to us which helps to deepen our relationship with him. The children recalled going to their own first confession and have written a guide for younger children.
In computing the children have had fun this week learning about a device called a Micro:bit and they explored the blocks within the code editor.
History - The children have learnt how important religion was to the Maya civilisation and have learnt about their gods and rituals such as blood letting.
In PE the children have worked together to complete orienteering activities.
In art the children have been learning about the Manchester born artist Chris Ofili, who uses colourful layering techniques, and have been experimenting with designs on the theme of the Maya Gods using his style.
