We have been busy in the classrooms this week, thinking about messages of HOPE which is the golden thread to all our Christian Values at Holy Trinity.
We discussed messages of Hope and voted for one in each class. We will be writing our individual messages of hope and displaying them in our main hall in the New Year.
SchoolCouncil then collected the messages of hope that had been made into Christmas baubles and placed them around our beautiful Christmas tree.
Hope you enjoyed your giant leap challenge last week. Please send any results you have to your teacher.
This week – I would like you to look outside and study the birds. I love watching the birds and their activities.
I have registered our school to take part in this Birdwatch challenge. I would like you to spend an hour looking through the window at the birds in your garden.
Watch the BBC live Bird Watch episode. i have attached the link below.
Hope you are all enjoying the snow and staying safe.
I would love for us all to do a science investigation together. You know how much I love Science? I hear you have all started learning about Giants and may have heard the Biblical story of David and Goliath?
I would like you to know who is the giant in your family and whether they can actually jump the furthest distance? Are your legs longer than your mum’s or sister’s? Who has the longest legs in your family? How are you going to measure them?
To follow the assignment – click on the picture to see it clearly.
This link below can show you all the steps involved.
I can’t wait to see your results. Send them to your teacher so that we can see who the giant is – in your family and who can jump the furthest distance. I am going to make a giant display back at school for you all to see when you return.
Hope you enjoyed watching and taking part in some of the Great Science Share videos and investigations from yesterday. If you didn’t have time yesterday- I know your teachers have been setting lots of exciting activities for you at home.
Just simply write down your question that you have been investigating at home and your results. Fill in the details and you could be sent your special science badge. You only need to write a couple of sentences in each box. We are unable to do this for you, as your parents need to fill in their details.
We would love you all to receive a badge. Good luck super scientists!!!
Today is the Great Science Share – a chance to share any of the fantastic Science that you have been doing at home.
All the teachers have been sending home different science activities for you to complete and take part in.
We are hoping now, that we can share all of this great science amongst our community and with your teachers.
Could you please send us a picture with a question of what you have been investigating. (either via Dojo or on email to your class teacher) If we submit these photographs – you can win a badge. We also get put into a big prize draw as well as sharing all the wonderful science work you are completing at home.
An example may be: Who can blow the longest bubble? Did the material make a difference? Did the bottle used make a difference?
I expect you have all been going outside at 8.00 pm to clap for the NHS and all the Key workers? You have probably all heard about the Nightingale Hospitals that have opened in all the big cities. Well, we have the chance to take a step back in History and hear the life story of Florence Nightingale.
She talks about life from a young age and what made her decide on becoming a nurse.
My daughter has just qualified as a nurse and I am so proud of her. It’s a scary time, but I can’t begin to imagine how proud all the health care workers, doctors and nurses feel right now as they do their jobs.
Here is Sian at the beginning of her training and now working as a fully qualified nurse.
This is a great opportunity for you to ask any questions to Florence Nightingale, to Sian or to the two doctors below.
Zania and Phoebe(the two doctors) will be doing an interview next week on 5th May – where they will be answering any questions you have.
Click here to download the activity sheet about Zania and Phoebe and don’t forget to send us your questions and pictures by 3 pm on Thursday 30th April. You can do this by completing the form on the Science at Work https://pstt.org.uk/
Please keep any of the sheets that you download or questions that you write, so that I can use them for display when you are back. This activity may get you thinking about what you would like to do when you leave school?
For our Stunning Start Long Mynd class invited the Shrewsbury Museum to spend a morning with us studying Greek artifacts, armour and clothing, Greek life and performing a Greek banquet in costume.
The children began by studying and discussing different artifacts that have been found in Greece.
Next, the children learnt about Greek soldiers, their armour and how they protected each other in battles. Afterwards, the children were given a Greek person to perform as they learnt about the roles of men and women in Ancient Greece and the difference between Athens and Sparta.
Finally, the children learnt about and acted out a Greek banquet in costume. Some children acted as directors who told the other children how to behave in their roles.
The children learnt a huge amount about Ancient Greece and really enjoyed looking at the interesting artifacts.
