English in Long Mynd this week 👑

Our English this half term is linked to our unit ‘Urban Pioneers’. We are researching London, where the children will write a diary entry after being taught how to write a diary correctly and what to include. So far we have look at a WAGOLL- what a good one looks like, read a selection of diary entries and evaluated them to identify if good or bad examples. Looked at chronology and ordering events using adverbs of time and today we described Buckingham Palace after watching a selection of videos to inspire and set the scene. Take a look at our week:

Lol has had a wonderful week- first she came

Within the worship, we focus on the bible story:

John 13: 1-17Jesus washes his disciple’s feet

We also look at

The Prideful Ant  – A Story about Pride and Humility

 Philippians 2:3-4, Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

Please join us with a prayer focusing on humility:

Fantastic Finish – Greek Day 🇬🇷🍇

 

Can I just say a huge thank you to all parents , carers and children in Long Mynd for the fantastic effort for today’s Greek Day!!

Please click link to see our video of the day:  IMG_8978



What a fantastic day had by all for our fantastic finish Greek Day. We danced the morning away with the Zorba, tasted Greek food, made a Greek salad and Moussaka, pressed and made wine (grape juice). For the afternoon session, we focused on the Greek artist Douris and  decorated Greek pots with a meander and Zeus prints with paint.
