Thank you to St Swithun’s Church for letting us use the church for our Whole School Easter Service. This year, Chestnut Class, our Year 5 children, led the service. The children all spoke with confidence and produced some lovely artwork to retell the Easter story. Both Mrs Temple-Murray and Mr Preston were very proud of them all.
Maple Class
The children in Maple Class have been busy in Design and Technology constructing boxes that can be used to successfully transport eggs - laid by our school chickens - without them breaking! We talked about sustainability and respecting the chickens’ eggs by ensuring that these did not go to waste. The children started the project by looking at lots of examples of packaging and writing a design specification. They then learnt about nets of 3D shapes and used a program called ‘Template Maker’ to generate examples that would make effective egg boxes. Finally, they made their chosen design using recycled, corrugated card and evaluated their boxes. The children really enjoyed this challenge.
In RE, the children have been learning all about the Easter story and why Good Friday is so called. During this time, children had to immerse themselves within the story and recognise the different perspectives from this time. This ended with them acting out one of the key events in the form of a freeze frame.
Oak Class
Oak Class were very busy during the spring term. In DT, they learnt about different fruits, why they are healthy and where they come from. The children enjoyed taste-testing a range of fruits and supermarket smoothies. In the final week, they designed their own fruit smoothies and had a brilliant time making and drinking them.
In Science, they tested materials for different purposes and developed their understanding of how materials change to be used in different ways.
The children have also developed their knowledge of the Easter story and visited St Swithun's Church to further understand the importance of the cross to Christians.
