Year 3 Cathedral Trip

Today, children in Year 3 visited Norwich Cathedral to learn about Advent and the Christmas Story.

They talked about Advent meaning ‘getting ready’ and all the things we do to get ready for Christmas.

Children also heard about the prophet, Isaiah, foretelling the birth of Jesus before decorating their own matchbox manger and ‘Bethlehem’ sign.

They heard different parts of the Christmas story from some of the characters and had the opportunity to dress up and get involved – from finding lost sheep to following the star and taking gifts to the manger.

A great time was had by all. Thank you to the Cathedral team for a fantastic day!

Diwali and Fireworks

This week the children have been learning about how people celebrate Diwali and Bonfire night. They have been making firework pictures and learning about Rangoli patterns, Mendhi patterns and made Diva lamps using salt dough.

Y3 RE – Rites of Passage

This half term, Year 3 have been learning all about rites of passage in different religions. They have learnt about infant and believers’ baptism in Christianity, Bar/Bat Mitzvah in Judaism and the Amrit ceremony in Sikhism.

Today, they recapped all their learning by comparing the similarities and differences between the 3 religious ceremonies.

Year 3 Cathedral Trip

Year 3 enjoyed a trip to Norwich Cathedral today.

We were so proud of how ready, safe and respectful they were.

They learnt all about what advent is and journeyed through the nativity.

Year 2 Rangoli Patterns

Year 2 have continued learning about why light is important for different religions. This week they have learnt about Hinduism and Diwali. They learnt about the story of Rama and Sita and then created their own rangoli patterns.

Year 2 RE

Year 2 have started learning about why light is an important symbol for different religions. This week they have been learning about the Jewish festival Hanukkah and understanding how a Menorah is an important part of this celebration.

Writing in Year 6

This week, Year 6 have been starting to plan their discursive RE writing to answer the question, ‘Creation or Science: conflicting or complementary?’ Classes began to unpick the structure of the writing and considered lots of elements in order to make the piece cohesive. Children concentrated very effectively to discuss the purpose and audience, the effect they want to have on the reader, the grammatical and punctuation features they need to include and the topic-specific vocabulary. All their ideas are on the classroom working walls to reference throughout the unit. Children also began to think about the main ideas to include in the introduction and worked collaboratively to shared write this section using great communication.

Year 1 Easter Gardens

This week Year 1 went to the woods to create Easter Gardens. We have been thinking about why The Cross is important to Christians and learning about the Easter story. The children confidently applied all of this knowledge to create some wonderful Easter Gardens! Great work Year 1!

Year 3 Cathedral Trip
