This was our last week of our sessions with the girls ambassadors from St. Lukes! We were making presentations about people that inspire us. We all really enjoyed learning why girls should join more sports 😃.

Made by Isla-Rose and Abiela!

Today we were learning about The 5 Pillars of Islam! We learned that Pillar 1 is called Shahadah, Pillar 2 is called Salat, Pillar 3 is called Zakat,  Pillar 4 is called Swam, and finally Pillar 5 is called Hajj!

Emmie: It was fun and I like learning about it!
Tyler: I enjoyed learning about this!
Elaine: at first it was hard to understand

Kyle: It was very interesting to learn about Islam!

This week we have been learning to use partitioning to solve division problems!

here are pictures of our work:

This morning we did  some problem solving during maths and at the end we got to make our own problem. We used the strategies of working backwards and reasoning logically.
Here’s some opinions from our class:

Elaine-“It was hard at first until we did a few more”

Reuben-“It was fun and challenging, we got to make our own!”

Joshua-“It is a good way to improve on your problem solving skills.”

Last week we attended an anti-bullying workshop. We learned about the impact that bullying can have on your mental  and physical health. We did some activities and had chats about it.

Elaine and Emmanuel with the rest of the Equalities Group helped to set up the workshop and made it possible, thanks guys!

Yesterday we were learning about bereavement, loss and grief.

We had chats with our friends about memories we have, happy and sad.

Then we listened to a few examples of “I Remember” poems for some inspiration to make our own poems. We then wrote poems or paragraphs about our memories.

Here are examples of our work.
