Our Lady of Guadalupe are working collaboratively to add speech, action and description to their stories so they engage a reader. We wrote one as a class to helps us see how writers think!
This afternoon, Year 3 and 4 headed outdoors for a survival adventure 🏕️❄️
We learned the “Rule of 3” for survival, imagined being stranded in Antarctica, and practiced building mini shelters – from lean-to’s to wigwams.
A fantastic start to our outdoor learning this year!
@BhamDES Our Lady of Guadalupe (Y5/6) have been inspired by St Francis to create their own stained glass window to reflect the words of the Canticle of Creation. They have been learning about ways to praise God for our world.
High quality maths instruction uses concrete manipulative to help pupils understand the structure of concepts such as place value,addition and subtraction. Today,Y5/6 have been using place value charts to show how numbers change and the importance of 0 as a placeholder.
Y5/6 are looking at Viking artefacts to draw conclusions like historians. They will use a range of resources to establish what Vikings were like as a civilisation.
Year 5/6 have been thinking about themes of our class text. This will inform their retelling of the story and guide them as they choose which message they want to give the reader.
Year 5/6 have been writing smaller, incidental pieces of writing based on The Promise which will help them with their retelling of the story in their own words. These practice pieces help them to shape their thinking in longer texts.
Year 3 and 4 have had a fantastic first week! It has been incredible to name our class Our Lady of Knock. The children have created some beautiful artwork and prayers for our class alter.
As we look forward to an exciting year ahead, Our Lady of Knock pray for us.
Good afternoon, we have an abundance of apples growing on our trees! Tomorrow, 5th September we will be leaving some apples outside the school gates from 08:30 please help yourself. If you are able to, please leave a donation.
Thank you!
