Now for a well earned rest before we go again after half term. Well done everyone! Thank you to Mrs Gardner for her amazing umpiring and coaching and Miss Kachwalla for supporting the team.
Year 2 - Pentecost and the Holy Spirit
Over the past few weeks, Year 2 have been exploring the stories of the Ascension and Pentecost. We had good knowledge of the events in each story, but one question seemed to remain: "What actually is the Holy Spirit?" This was a difficult and personal question for each child. I was extremely impressed with the mature responses we discussed in class. It was amazing to see the children agreeing to disagree with their opinions on what the Holy Spirit meant to them. Later, we discussed how the Holy Spirit can help us. The "Fruits of the Spirit" song suggests that if we have the Holy Spirit, we should be joyful, peaceful, gentle, and many more. We decided that by showing many of these qualities, the Holy Spirit would be shining from the inside out.
Year 4 History - What do artefacts tell us about the past?
In our final history lesson, we looked at how we may extract information from artefacts. The children worked in groups to decide what the artefact was, what it may be used for and what it was made from. We know that the Vikings came to Britain for many reasons and the artefacts that we looked at in the session helped to build our understanding of why and how they lived like they did. Finally, the children presented their learning to the other groups and posed questions related to each artefact example.
