This week was the first week back from the Easter holidays! Lets start by saying a goodbye to Grace who is leaving St. Marks we will be very sad without her. Another sad thing about this week is Pope Francis’s death. For that, we wrote special prayers for him. We also won class of the week!! That is all for this blog today.
Yesterday we started to our Ramadan poster all about Ramadan!
We also finished our Easter cantata!
A huge congratulations to Haram and Rebecca for winning the Knex challenge! They will be attending the Cluster challenge at St Luke’s at the end of March.
On Wednesday, Neil’s mum came in and taught us about Germany and the traditions and culture and how she spent a few years living there and her past job
Also, Martin’s mum came in and taught us about Azerbaijan and the traditions and the country and how she grew up there and the traditional dishes in Azerbaijan. We found it so interesting!
Thank you to Mr Hutchison for leading our drama workshop this afternoon. We had so much fun working in groups to come up with our freeze frames inspired by the key events in the Passion of Christ.
We can’t wait for our Miracle Man auditions next Thursday.
Starting our journey as Pilgrims of Hope – Launch day provided a break from normal routine to appreciate the meaning of being Pilgrims of Hope. P4b spent the day looking at injustice and inequality through games and tasks. We looked at our individual and shared hopes for the future.
On Thursday we had the St Luke’s S3 pupils come over to our class and helped with our debate about Renewable and non-renewable energy. After we planned our debate, we went up to debate against our opponents and the S3s picked really strong debates and the group who got picked won the whole debate. We had a great time and learned so much!
In p6 we’ve been having a great time using our resources to make a wind turbine. The power in our classroom went out and we had an unplugged afternoon. It has made us really excited for our trip to Whitelee Windfarm soon!!
