It has been yet another jam-packed week!

We enjoyed a lovely Harvest service at St Michael's Church on Friday. All the children stood up to display some of their fantastic work. We had confident readings of  wonderful poems about harvest celebrations around the world and fantastic sketches of Vincent Van Gogh's 'The Harvest' from 1888. Well done to all the children who showed off all their hard work and talents.

We took part in the Mathematics World Cup. This combined physical activity, maths and mindfulness as well as competing against each other and children from other schools. The children were split into 3 teams. They had to copy the instructor's actions whilst giving answers to different multiplication questions. They also needed to work together as a team to help each other answer different multiplication questions and win points. We were near the top of the table so fingers crossed we progress through to the next round!

In our RE learning we used the information we learnt about God from the book of Psalms, John and Isaiah to find pictures that represented God. We then used these to create a collage. We explained our choices for the pictures we used and reinforced this with the different Bible passages. We used the ideas that God is: loving, kind, peaceful, a creator, a King, merciful and a friend to Christians. A special mention to Sophie and Willow who not only created beautiful collages but also reflected carefully and gave excellent reasons for their picture choices! 

We've also been finding out about different physical landmarks in eastern European countries. We've had some fierce debates over which is the longest river in different countries based on the different information gathered from websites - should it be the river system we measure or just the length of the main river artery? Billy has shown a brilliant zeal for geography and began to investigate a range of different eastern European countries including Belarus, Azerbaijan and Slovakia We've had some very interesting discussions about the political and economic conditions of some of these countries too and thought how different life in Shap is compared to these countries.
