Happy New Year! Where did January go?!
We have had a busy few weeks at school… let us tell you some more!
Firstly, we started our new novel study; Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We absolutely love it so far and have completed many activities in relation to it. We wrote a newspaper report, made posters to advertise the golden tickets, designed a chocolate bar and designed Willy Wonka’s factory. We cannot wait to read more and hopefully make some chocolate treats! Yum!
This week, we had a very special visit from Cannon Eddie. He came to speak to us about our Reconciliation and Eucharist and had a Service of Enrolment. We made promises that we would learn more about these Sacraments in school and at home. We are very excited to receive these Sacraments in the coming months.
We celebrated Other World Religions this week. We learned about different faiths, cultures and traditions. Some of our peers dressed in formal dress and brought in religious artefacts and gave us a deeper understanding of each one. It was very interesting!
On 17th January we celebrated the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. We watched a PowerPoint and took notes. We then turned these notes into a fact file. We also watched his most famous speech, “I have a dream” and it inspired us to write out our dreams in order to make the world a fairer place. Learning about MLK and thinking about our Sacraments has also inspired us to donate more to charity. More info to follow on this 🙂
We had the best time in forest this week too! We were all in competition with one another to build the tallest cairn. You will see these pictures on Google Classroom. Miss Nisanci was very impressed with our teamwork and problem solving skills!
We are looking forward to February and our long, relaxing holiday weekend. After this we will welcome back our student teacher, Ms Gardiner who will be with us until Easter.
Miss N and P4b 🙂
