Class Worship with Reception

To end our Creation and Covenant topic in RE, Year 6 met with their Reading Buddies from Reception for a time of Class Worship. We began with a prayer and then Reception shared their RE books with Year 6 to show them what they had been learning about. We finished with a prayer to thank God for Creation and a song that celebrates the wonders of Creation.

Logical Thinking

We had to apply our problem-solving and logical thinking skills to our maths lesson. We had a puzzle to put back together – it was a multiplication grid but it did not look like one at the beginning!

Alarm System

For our final product in DT, we had to make our car using a net and then using our knowledge of circuits, design and create an alarm system if someone was to open the car door. We really enjoyed applying our science knowledge to this project and it also taught us to be resilient and problem-solve when what we wanted to do did not go according to our original plan!

Laudato Si

In our RE lesson, we began to think about the human impact on the world as a result of sin damaging our relationship with the earth. We read a section of Pope Francis’ Laudato Si and discussed the four main problems that it teaches about. We then had to rank and explain which we thought were the most and least serious problems.

Pilgrims of Hope Pledge Day

We had a great day celebrating our Pilgrims of Hope Pledge Day. We did a CAFOD workshop where we learnt more about CST and the lives of different people around the world. Together, we went on a prayer walk and considered how we can bring hope to those around us. Then as a class, we made our pledge and promised to stand in solidarity with others and be a people of hope.

Empower and Challenge Workshop

This morning, we had an interesting session run by Hazard Alley called the Empower and Challenge workshop. We learnt about gender stereotypes and harassment and discussed what it means to give consent. We know it is everybody’s responsibility to challenge behaviour that should not be happening and we learnt how to keep ourselves safe.

Circuits

Our Science topic is Circuits and today, we needed to complete different circuit challenges. We learnt what a simple circuit was and had to add different components to achieve the challenge. They included making a buzzer sound and making a motor spin, using any equipment that we wanted to.
