This week in 1SA and 1EJ we have continued our work on length during Mathematics and worked hard on our non-fiction texts in English. We also investigated the ‘Moon Lantern Festival’ and created our own lanterns that will be judged next week and showcased at next week’s assembly (Friday 22nd). Our cricket and soccer clinics have been very well received by the students and perfect for this sunny week.

Starting off our Monday morning we were lucky enough to be out in the sunshine for our Cricket clinic. This weeks focus was on batting and fielding. The students enjoyed practicing these skills as well as showcasing their skills of teamwork. Have a look at us in action!

Continuing on with our mathematics work on length. The students showcased their measuring skills by measuring different parts of their body. We had a practice as a whole class making sure that when we measuring we don’t leave gaps, don’t overlap the materials, use the same units of measure for all body parts and start at the correct starting point. The students loved investigating and comparing their results with their peers.

Religion – This week we finished off our ‘Story of Me’ books. Over the last few weeks in our Religion lessons, we have explored some milestones in our own lives so far. We created these books after learning about some important milestones in the life of Jesus. It was a beautiful way to discuss that we come to the classroom shaped by our cultural and family backgrounds.

HASS – In this lesson students discussed features of local places and how they have changed overtime. We looked closely at the changes that have happened over the last few years at Holy Family.

Reminders for week 9:

• PUPIL FREE day on Wednesday 20th September
• Shared lunch Friday 22nd for Moon lantern festival
