We were very lucky to have a visit from Father Michael this week to discuss writing reflections and prayers for our Candlemas service. The theme of the service is light. We were inspired by passages from the Bible that refers to Jesus as being like a light. The reading is taken from Luke Chapter 2 verses 22 to 36.

We discussed the theme of light and how this effects our lives everyday.

We are very excited about our service at Southwark Cathedral and look forward to sharing our reflections and prayers with you.

All will be revealed on this blog soon!

 

 

 

 

 

Victorian Silhouette Picture Frames – Arts Week

Well done Class 3 on working hard during Arts Week 2015. Class 3 dressed up as Victorian characters and had their profile picture taken. The picture was then cut out on black paper to create a Victorian silhouette. The children then designed William Morris picture frames, focusing on including nature repeated patterns around the frame.

Final images of the Victorian Silhouette picture frames to follow soon!

Geography Projects – Somewhere Special

SOMEWHERE SPECIAL

We are excited to launch our new Spring Term Projects which will be geography-based this year. The title for the projects is ‘Somewhere Special’, and you should think of a place in the world that is special to you, that you would like to research in more depth, and that you can create a project about.

You might like to research a country where you have relatives.

You might like to research a place that you have visited on holiday that has special memories for you.

You might like to research a place that you know about, and has always interested you, but you’ve never visited.

You might like to research the area where you live in more detail.

The choice of location is up to you; you can research a city, a country, a mountain, a village, a lake or any other geographical location. Also, you can decide how you would like to create and present your project; you could create a video guide, a model, a poster, a slideshow or anything else that shows what you’ve learnt.

 

Step 1 – Your teacher will give you a Project brief to fill in which should be returned on Wednesday 21st January.

Step 2 – Your teacher will advise you if the location you have chosen is suitable and then you can start working on the list of Questions to be answered when creating your project.

Step 3 – During the last week of this half-term, your teacher will collect in your project to review your progress and advise on how to improve your work.

Step 4 – On Tuesday 24th March 2015, we will hold a Project Exhibition in which you will show your projects to children in other classes (during school time) and to parents (at the end of the school day).

 

When you are creating your project, make sure that you try to refer to the following things:

1. Mapwork and Compass Directions;

2. the different features of the physical geography of your locality;

3. the different features of the human geography of your locality; and

4. Fieldwork and research.
