In Nursery we had a special visit from the chicks. It was really exciting being able to see them hatching from their eggs and become very fluffy. The children were then able to stroke and hold them using very gentle hands and some of them even had a little nap whilst being held! It was such a lovely time had by all.
Children in Year 6 spent an interesting morning at Khizra Mosque in Cheetham Hill as part of their learning in RE
We were welcomed into the main prayer room and we also visited the top floor where we could see the beautiful dome from the inside. We were shown around the washrooms used by Muslims before praying.
We learnt that the name Khizra means green which is the colour of the domecomes from the dome.
We found out about the importance of Ummah in the Islamic faith, how the behaviour and conduct of individuals can affect the whole community and that Muslims believe that it is your duty to help others you if you are able.
Year 2 are currently learning about lifecycles and how animals change over time. We have also been learning about a different offspring and we were very excited to meet some today! We will enjoy seeing how the tadpoles change over time!
Year 2 have been learning that all animals have offspring that grow and change into
adult animals. They have observed differnt lifecycles. A life cycle shows each stage of a plant or animals life. They know that all animals need water, food and air to survive and the offspring of an animal does not always look like the adult. They are excited to see how our class tadpoles change over time.
Today, year 5 went on a school trip to visit Khizra Mosque as part of our RE curriculum. We learnt a lot about features of a mosque and had an opportunity to ask any questions we might have had.
The sun was out and so were the racquets and balls! 5M did search for strawberries and cream, but sadly had to do without.🎾🍓
We have been exploring Makey Makey, a physical computing piece of hardware ( or invention kit!😊) and have been having lots of noisy fun.
Over the past few weeks, we have attempted to make music using these kits and a variety of objects including bananas, tomatoes and leaves. It has been lots of fun debugging our work to ensure musical success.
