Week Commencing 23/09/24

This week in Clumber class, we have continued reading our class book, Danny the Champion of the World, and have been trying to consider how the characters feel, using adjectives and recreating the scenes.
In our Zones lesson, we have been thinking about how facial expressions can give us clues to how people are feeling and we looked at examples and tried to name those feelings.
In our RE lesson, we have been thinking about what it means when people 'pass away' and how our lives can be thought of as a journey - there were some really thoughtful comments shared!

In Science, we have been looking at the respiratory system and identifying different parts of the lungs - the pupils made some amazing 3d models with labels!

In assembly, we celebrated European Day of Languages and practiced greetings in different languages - there are some well travelled pupils!

Week Commencing 09/09/24

A great week 2 in Clumber class! This week, the class started reading ‘Danny the Champion of the World’ and making predictions based on what we can see and the story summary. In our Zones of Regulation lesson, we discussed what it means to feel proud, how it can motivate us, and how it makes us feel good. In RE, we explored the human life cycle and the idea of life as a journey, recognizing that while we all have different experiences, we celebrate special times (milestones) in a way that is similar across different religions. During our Humanities lesson, we learned about the roles in Medieval society and the concept of ‘the Feudal System’. We even role-played different jobs and the rules of a Medieval village – I think many would definitely prefer to be the lord of the castle! 😊 In PSHE, we spent time getting to know different people in the class, practicing turn-taking and handling moments when we lose in a game to strengthen our friendship skills. Finally, in Art, we practiced drawing perspective lines and used the correct terminology to discuss art, its properties, and how it makes us feel.
