Unit Work


 This week we are exploring features of our home and why our homes are special to us!  We collected an item from home and in Science we discussed the material and properities of our objects.  We used our senses to describe them.


Religion


In daily prayer we are learning about how to prayer and we are using the creation story to make thank you prayers.  We begun the Easter Story this week with the creation of our Holy Week Poster and we learnt about the Resurrection Eggs.




Our Value this week is Honesty.




Project Compassion

 
As part of Lent our school takes part in Project Compassion.  We ask the children to donate money to help others less fortunate then themselves.  We have a box on our prayer table that the children will be asked to place their donation in. Each week the Year 6 leaders will collect our box and count our donations.  We have a poster beside our door to mark how much money our class has raised.  Each week I will tweet a photo update of our total.  Lent is about giving and Project Compassion helps to give back to our world.  Each week they will hear a story about how the money will help other people in our world.  We ask they children to help with chores at home to be able to collect money to donate.  Your donations are greatly appreciated.  We would love to reach our new goal of $100 we are only $22 away.

A few reminders:




Science

In Science this term, we are exploring different types of materials by describing objects found in our homes.  We are exploring different rooms in our homes and the different types of objects (materials) we can find in each room.  For example, in a bathroom we can find a rubber ducky and it’s material is rubber.  In a kitchen, we can find a wooden spoon and it’s material is wood.

 

Can you please help your child to find one object to bring in and share with the class.   We will use each item to build our Science Word Wall.
