The children were extremely excited to wake up to snow! Fortunately we managed to frolic in the snow before it melted!
This weeks Gospel and our learning in RE
In this week’s Gospel we start to learn how Jesus began to gather the first Christian community. We reflect that our school and our parish were founded to be places of love, friendship, security and inclusion- we try to live this in our daily lives.
Year 6 have been looking at the New Covenant that God made with us and how Jesus is the Bread of Life. In order to contribute to the school community and share their faith Year 6 are creating an explanation of Mass to support the younger children on their spiritual journey.
Learning:
Maths: We have been continuing deepening our knowledge of Algebra and have started to master writng algebraic equations as well as applying formula to mathematical problems.
English: We have continued our exploration of- Darwin An Exceptional Voyage. This week we have analysed the text and considered why the author has chosen particular word and phrases. We had fun acting the meaning of our new vocabulary to ensure we understood!
Science: Linking to Darwin’s explorations in science we are studying Evolution and Inheritance. This week we looked at how species can adapt over time, we also considered how a random mutation can be beneficial to a species survival. We continued to debate how living things adapt to their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution. We enjoyed singing along to the camel song!
