Djembe Drums 01.10.24

This half term, we have started to learn the Djembe drums. We have learned how to create different sounds using different parts of the drum and how to work together, create a beat and stay in time. Our drumming lesson is one of our favourite parts of the week!

The Holy Rosary 30.09.24

 October is the month of the Holy Rosary prayer. Today, we learned about the Holy Rosary prayer and how to use the Rosary beads. We each had time individually with the Rosary beads to have some time to reflect and practise the prayer. Throughout October, we will be completing the Mark 10 Mission 'Rosary Challenge' where we will be praying a decade of the Rosary everyday.

The Story of Abraham 16.09.24

This half term, we are learning all about the 'Chosen People' in R.E. The first person we have learned about is Abraham. Today, we worked in groups to retell the story of Abraham and perform it to the rest of the class. When we were retelling the story, we thought about what this story tells us about God and how Abraham showed his faith in God.

Planting Bulbs 04.09.24

In our Science lesson today, we learned all about bulbs. We started by discussing what a bulb is and how we plant a bulb. We then went into the garden and planted our own daffodil bulbs. We are going to observe our bulbs throughout the year and record the changes as they grow into daffodils. We can't wait to watch them grow!
