PE- TOYS DANCE

This half term we have been lucky enough to have Mrs. Hardman working with us to create a dance. We have been making a dance based on the theme of toys. Have a look at some of the videos and see if you think we did a good job.

Traditional Tales Day

What a fantastic way to kick off our half term!

We all came to school dressed as a character from a traditional tale. We talked about the difference between traditional tales and the newer stories that we like to read today. Can you guess which tales we are from?

Music- A Tale From Long Ago

In Music, we listened to the story of 'The Helpful Elves'. In the story the shoemaker was very poor and only had enough money to make one more pair of shoes. In the night some elves visited and made the shoes for the shoemaker. He was able to sell them the very next day gaining enough money to make 2 pairs of shoes. The following night the same thing happened, the elves returned and made 2 more pairs of shoes. The shoemaker was no longer poor!

We have been learning some songs linked to this story!

Stranger Danger?

We have been talking about ways to keep safe. We asked the question...

Should Jack have taken beans from the little old man?

We talked about how there are strangers and safer strangers.

No because you don't talk to strangers.

Abel

No because he didn't know him.

Heidi

No because his mum will be angry because she wants money.
George

Religious Education- Which stories are special and why?

We have looked at a range of different Christian symbols and bibles. Mrs. Gilroy showed us her gold cross that was bought for her when she was confirmed.

We talked about how Christians believe in God and that the place they may visit to talk to God is called a church. We talked about why bibles are special.

Bibles are special because... Christians keep their stories in them.
Jasmine

Bibles are special because... they have all of Jesus' stories in them.
Owen

Christian symbols and stories

We introduced our 'new friend' Grace. We passed her around the classroom and asked the children if they could identify any symbols on Grace that may show what religion she is.

Together we decided that Grace was a Christian. We then looked at Christian bibles including 'The Children's Bible' that as a Christian Grace may choose to read. We talked about who the figure on the front could be and decided it could be Jesus.

I can see a cross which means she is a Christian

Esther

I can see the cross like Jesus died on.

Aiden

David and Golaith

We then learnt about a story called 'David and Goliath'. Firstly we looked at the images in the children's bible. We talked about what Goliath and David looked like and what their 'jobs' might be.

Goliath looks mean and really big!

Eliza

Goliath looks like he wants to fight.

Henry

I think David is a shepherd.
