This half-term has been packed with exciting and enriching learning experiences. A highlight was our trip to the local mosque, where pupils deepened their understanding of different faiths and communities. They learned about key features of the mosque, asked thoughtful questions, and reflected on the importance of respect and shared values, supporting our work in RE and personal development.

In the classroom, our science learning focused on forces, where pupils investigated pushes, pulls, gravity, and friction through practical experiments and hands-on activities. In history, we delved into the world of the Ancient Greeks, using artefacts to support our understanding of daily life, culture, and achievements. Handling replica objects helped pupils ask questions, make connections, and develop a deeper appreciation of this fascinating civilisation.

We have also been working hard to improve our writing skills through imaginative storytelling. Pupils wrote exciting stories about an explorer’s adventures in the jungle, focusing on description, action, and building suspense. Later in the half-term, they wrote the ending to a story where they needed to show empathy, thinking carefully about the character’s feelings and experiences to engage the reader.
