Science

This week in science we have been learning about different types of rocks and their names. We completed an activity to show which types were man made or natural rocks. – Zahra

PE

This week we began our block of Cricket lessons.  We started our lesson with some ball handling skills, then split into teams to play two small games.

In P.E we were learning about cricket, there was a game where we had to throw a ball to our partner when we heard the command from our teacher. Then we played a game where we had to score points depending the amount of the amount of times we ran from cone to cone. It was good fun! – Caleb

IDL

This term we have the choice of learning about the Olympics or the Euros 2024.  Caleb’s mum very kindly allowed us to see the Olympic torch she carried in 2012 as part of the Olympic relay.  Caleb was able to tell us lots of facts about the torch and what it represents.

In Social Studies we were making PowerPoints about the Olympics and the Euro’s. We go into partners and we had to decide which topic we were researching. Myself and my partner chose to do the Olympics! – Ethan

Cultural Week

We read a story called ‘Under the Hijab’ which taught us the importance of the Hijab for Muslim women and girls.

We had a visitor on Monday who taught us how to create a sunset background using watercolours.  We then cut out a mosque shape in black paper and mounted it on our sunset.  We then had a go at writing in Arabic.  Those of us who felt confident writing in Arabic  wrote ‘Eid Mubarak’  on our sunset pictures.

Cultural Food

This morning we had the opportunity to make Mango Lassi and Vegetable Samosas with the help of our very kind parent helpers.

I made Vegetable Samosas. They tasted yummy! – Harley

Henna Art

Today we finished off our Henna art pictures.  We took inspiration from our own Henna patterns on our hands and created our own designs using black fine line pens.  We then used water colour to make a colourful contrasting background.

It was really fun to make the Henna patterns on our own hand outline.  It was kind of tricky though! – Ethan 

As part of our Eid celebration, we were allowed to wear our own clothes to celebrate the occasion.  It was nice to see children in our class wearing traditional clothing to celebrate this special occasion.

This Friday we had an Eid party and we got to wear cultural clothes. We got to get Henna done and make Samosas and Mango Lassi, it was delicious! – Daanya
