Green
Welcome to Green class for 2020 into 2021.
We are currently learning about Scavengers and Settlers in Theme for History and Rocks, Soils and Fossils in Science. Ask your children to tell you what they have learnt so far, what can they tell you about our Entry Point for each topic?
Eucharist 6.11.2020 - Peace
Last Friday (6.11.2020), the children took part in their first Eucharist of the year. Although it was a different experience to our usual Eucharists, the children were engaged and enthusiastic in their discussions on what Peace meant to them and to Christians around the world. All the children took part in singing the hymns for our Eucharist and I have attached photos of them singing in small groups together from each song: Make me a channel of your peace; Be still and The Lord's my shepherd. The children sang beautifully and even managed to sing in harmony for the final hymn, The Lord's my shepherd - a really moving experience when listened to during the Eucharist.
THE DAY THE CRAYONS QUIT
The children came to school dressed as their favourite colour to help start the unit to The Day The Crayons Quit, a wonderful story by Oliver Jeffers. We then discussed the emotions their crayons may have felt, or showed in the crayons' letters and got them to act that out as well. The adults joined in as well.
Ask your children why Orange and Yellow crayon aren't talking to each other anymore and how Green crayon feels about it.
African Drumming Experience
The children got the chance to learn how to use and play drums from Africa and were taught how to play to a beat and keep in time and rhythm with each other. They all had a great time and became very confident at keeping their rhythm.
