Y6 e-Safety
This week we having been looking at e-Safety and we discussed the question, How safe are you?
We set up some role play scenarios and discussed as a class how we should manage our safety. We thought about using aps on our phone and what dangers this may lead to. We decided that no app should be used unless a parent knows exactly what it is.
Ringing and talking on the phone is fine as long as you know the person. Sharing photographs between friends is okay as long as your parents have seen the photo and you have the permission of the person in the photo.
Visit to the Masjid Ali Mosque Year 6
As part of our RE topic this term we were looking at comparing the beliefs of Muslims and Christians.
On arrival at the mosque we were taken into the prayer room where the Iman recited suras from the Qu’ran. We were shown around and asked many questions. The leader was very informative and we left knowing there are many similarities between both religions.
One prayer room has the capacity to have over 2000 people praying at once. This room is mainly used at Eid and Ramadan.
Year 6 – Feelings
In year 6 we discussed our own early warning signs and when we get them. What are our emotional and physical feelings? and what feeling safe feels like, so when we don’t feel safe our bodies tell us by giving us physical early warning signs like Dot’s butterflies in her stomach.
School Trip to the Community Sports HUB
Friday 19th May
Years 1 to 6 went to the Community Sports HUB to take part in sporting activities such as cricket, rounder’s, football, tennis and boxing. Everyone took part in each activity for 45 minutes. Despite the damp weather lots of fun was had by all. It was great to see all the children showing off what they had learnt in their PE lessons. The teachers have said that it was a fantastic day and great to see the children demonstrating their skill set out side of the classroom. This was great for the children’s physical development and we look forward to having more days like this next year.
Samir Y4 “My favourite sport was the tennis because we had lots of space to play which we don’t normally get in school.”
Tavani Y4 “My Favourite sport was cricket because we don’t normally play big games and I won a medal.”
Amira Y3 “I liked the football because it was really good playing on a proper grass pitch”
Reuben Y5 “Boxing was my favourite because the gym was really nice and I enjoyed using the bags.”
PHSE – Year 3 and 6
Year 3 – How to stay safe
This week in Year 3 the children have looked at how to keep themselves safe. Children had to look at their helping hand and were reminded who they can talk to if they are worried or concerned. To help the children remember who they could talk to they completed the relevant pages from their Dot Com journals.
Year 6 – Separation
In Year 6 we talked about how to deal with separation. We discussed what might happen if a family becomes divided, how might members of the family feel about this? We also looked at who they can talk to in this situation completing their journals as we went along.
Osmosis and Diffusion
During our Science investigation this week we were looking at these two very important processes that happen within our bodies.
We carried out an investigation using skittles and water to show the process of diffusion. The children in pairs used vegi-gel, inks and blotting paper to produce some abstract diffusion prints.
Why don’t you ask your child to explain these processes to you?
PHSE – Year 3 and 6
Year 3 – Feelings
In today’s lesson the children were given feeling cards and they had to describe how the children on the cards were feeling and why they may be feeling like that.
Afterwards we talked about how the children could keep themselves safe and together we read Dot’s story on safety. We all discussed how we should keep ourselves safe at all times and the children completed the pages from their journal to reflect this.
Year 6 – Weapons
Today in Tear 6 we talked about weapons. We explored and discussed the way weapons are portrayed in films and on TV. We spoke about how this is not a true reflection of reality.
The children completed the relevant pages in their journals on weapons and discussed what the risks of carrying a weapon are.
Street Dance Release for Year 6
This afternoon Year 6 took part in a street dance and graffiti workshop. This was a much needed break from intense weeks of practice testing and preparation for their upcoming National Tests beginning next week. The children enjoyed dancing and performed their own group routine at the end of the session, they also produced their own graffiti dance logo.
Good luck to Year 6, we are fully prepared for next week. Remember breakfast club begins 0815 Monday 8/5/17.
R E
During R E this week Year6 have been debating whether Christianity is still a strong religion 2000 years after Jesus was on the Earth.
The children debated as class and then wrote their own personal point of view backing it up with facts.
Mim said ‘ I feel that Christianity is a strong religion because many people even today still believe in Jesus.
Kacy said ‘ In my opinion I think that Christianity is still a strong religion because there are many Church Schools and lots of Christians in the U.K
Malaz said ‘In my opinion Christianity is still a strong religion because many people still worship Jesus around the world today.
The children enjoyed this debate and there were many good points of view raised.
