We spent the day studying Lubaina Himid for our atrist inspiration day. We looked at key pieces of her artwork and discussed themes and messages that she wanted to get across in her work. Themes include: water and sea, Black community rights, women's rights and slavery. We recreated some of her watery artwork and created an incredible whole class piece of artwork based on one of hers too.

What a fabulous day we had celebrating all things Mexican and Mayan with our inspiration day. We made our very own pinatas (some groups chose to smash these to pieces and win the sweets inside!), clay temples and Day of the Dead masks. In the afternoon, we enjoyed some competitions in our chili pepper races and then tasted some chilli, tortillas with dips and tropical juices. The children all looked amazing in their Mexican themed outfits too!

This morning, we took part in a fantastic workshop called 'All Rise'. It was based on the criminal justice system and laws of our country and we learnt lots of information. We worked collaboratively in our teams to solve challenges, we debated, discussed court rooms and enjoyed mini quizzes. We even had the opportunity to dress up as a real judge wearing the cloak and wig! What a great workshop!

This afternoon, in RSHE with Mrs Merdani, we were looking at the miracle of Jesus Calming the Storm. We had lots of discussion, reflection, sharing ideas and creating short role plays in our groups.

We had a fantastic morning at Mount St Mary's Catholic High School as a taster of what lessons could be like if we attended there next September. First, we took part in R.E with Miss Fltcher in which we had to work in teams to create the inside of a church complete with key objects such as pews, altar, tabernacle and a crcifix. Then, it was onto P.E in the gym where we had arowing competitions. A special mention for Izabela who would have been awarded a bronze medal if she was competing with Year 7 students! Finally, it was onto Food Technology where we were thinking about how professional chefs plate up their meals. Check out our inventive presentations for beans on toast!!
Tuesday 23rd September
We have been particularly active in our lessons today. In Writing, we were working in teams to sort examples of emotive language, thinking about how they show an emotion and the effect of these on the reader. In our R.E lesson this afternoon, we had a treasure hunt where we had to find the Fruits of the Holy Spirit and their characteristics.
Friday 12th September
We led whole school worship assembly this afternoon and did a wonderful job in sharing ideas of how to "Shine Your Light" with everyone. It was the first time a class has led this worship and we were great role models for other classes to follow.
Tuesday 9th September
This afternoon, in our R.E lesson, we did some active learning. We worked in pairs to use our Bibles to find 7 key parables that Jesus told His disciples. We found the scripture reference for each one before discussing what each one tells us about the Kingdom of God, how Jesus wants us to live our lives and virtues they encourage.
