PSHE Material for term 6

WB: 23.05.22 - Tree identification in Forest School and RE at the Church

In Forest School, we used a leaf id sheet to identify different trees. We also used a bird's eye view map of the park to orientate ourselves to different places. In our free time, some of us did bark rubbing... ...some of us made shelters, similar to last week... Some of us enjoyed climbing trees. We love chilling in the hammocks. After visiting the Mosque a couple of weeks ago... ...it was time to visit the St Mary Redcliffe Church to find answers to our big question. Rev Kat spoke to us about how Christian showed their beliefs through arcetecture and art.. ...and charity and generosity. We then explored the church.

WB: 16.05.2022 Creating our own 21st Century churches in RE and shelter building in Forest School

We carried on thinking about our Big Question in RE... ...'Is it better to show your faith through arts and architecture... ....or faith and generosity? We looked at different churches that have been built recently. We designed our own church for the 21st Century In Forest school last week... ...we looked at the world as 100 people. We were shocked to learn that 23% of people in the world don't have shelter. We made a stick family... ...and then built shelters for them. We then had free time. Some of us made wall hangings. Some of us chilled in the hammocks. We even climbed trees. And some carried on their shelters.

WB: 09.05.2022 - Debates, Mosque Visit and St Paul's Carnival Workshops!

We looked at balanced arguments, persuasive texts and debates this week. We worked in groups to prepare a debate. We were asked to prepare arguments to the question... ... 'Should the UK allow more refugees into Miss Fraser and Miss Bendon were very impressed with our growing debating skills. Some even managed to change each other's minds! On Wednesday, we visited the Mosque in Totterdown. Some of our class experts showed us how Muslims pray and worship at the Mosque. We heard a reading from he Qur'an. We were shown the time for prayers. Mosque's have pulpits, like Churches do. Here is a model of the Mosque. The Imam, Mohamed, shared his opinion of our key question with us. Friday was the first session of our 6 week St Paul's Carnival workshops! The drummers got used to the different instruments and had a go at playing different rhythms. We created texture by putting them on top of each other. It was tricky! But we have 5 more weeks to perfect it! The dancers had fun too! They worked hard to keep to the beat and learn different moves.

WB: 02.05.2022 - Fractions in Maths

We were faced with a challenge... ...who could get the most chocolate... .... by choosing which table to sit at. One table had 2 bars. One table had 3 and another table had 1. We worked out what fraction of the chocolate we would get. We then worked out how much chocolate we each got. Then we split it, equally... ... and ate it! We then worked together to create fraction walls. We have used them this week to help us with equivalent fractions.
