We have had another very busy month.   Throughout Lent we have taken the time to think about others and have reflected on our Lenten promises. We have also continued our learning about the Sacraments of Initiation and symbols of the Holy Spirit.  We are enjoying our preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Some children in our class have been fasting throughout Ramadan and have shared some of their experiences with us to help us understand how important this time is for people within the Muslim faith.

In French we have had the opportunity to work with Ms Patterson and have been learning to say, read and write lots of sports vocabulary in French.   In writing we have been learning to write reports based on current topical news and we have also designed and created information leaflets linked to our learning in Life Beyond Land.

In Numeracy and Mathematics some of us have been learning about Financial Education and now know more about bank accounts, credit cards (calculating APR) and foreign exchange rates. Some children have been learning about patterns and sequences and how to calculate speed, distance and time.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our Expedition, Life Beyond Land and valued the opportunity to lead our learning in this way. Some of the areas we have investigated are; Space and the Solar System, natural disasters and Greek Mythology.  We are looking forward to our final term in St.Cadoc’s and we know it will be both a very busy and exciting term for all of us.

We were very pleased to receive our badges and certificates in recognition our our achievements in Bike Ability Levels 1 and 2.

St. Ninian’s

We spent two full days at St. Ninain’s High School as part of a Cluster event. These days were exciting and very fun. We had the opportunity to take part in; Design and Technology, Art and Design, Sceince and Business.  In Design and Technology we made a wooden spinning top by using a laser cutter, coping saw, a drill and a hammer. In Science were able to use a Bunsen burner and were able to burn magnesium ribbons which created a very bright white light. In Art and Design we did some leaf drawings and drawing of animals using stencils.  In Business we created a new ride in Disneyland and created advertising for it. We were very tired after these visits!

We are working hard and enjoying our expedition, Life Beyond Land and have been developing our learning across the curriculum whilst working together in groups,

Some of the areas we have been learning about are ; Space, Natural Disasters, Oceans, Deja Vu, Greek Methology, The Dead Sea and are aliens actually real?

We had a fantastic day trip to the Science Centre and took part in a Body Works workshop where we further developed our understanding of the human body’s Dan in particular the digestive system. Some of our favourite parts of the trip were; the balloon game, the singing bowl, the slanted house, reactions tests, the air hockey, the mucus ninjas and the germ comic.
