VE Day Anniversary Activities

We had great fun completing VE Day Lego Challenge cards. We chose who we worked with and which challenge we wanted to complete. We made celebration cakes, peace gardens, spitfires, Union Jack flags and old-fashioned radios. We have shown that we have great construction skills!

VE Day Visitor

Today we were excited and honoured to be joined in school by ninety-nine year old War veteran Christopher Price. He answered questions asked of him by Years Two, Three and Six. Pupils learned of his experiences in the Second World War as he gave us a valuable insight as to what life was like. Diolch Christopher!

Our AMAZING World!

In RVE, we created a photo gallery showing things that we found interesting and beautiful. We zoomed in on some of the items so that we can see them in more detail.

Council Meeting

  • We were joined by John Meredith in today’s Worship Council Meetinbg to discuss Expressive Art in RVE. Some of the ideas discussed were about how we could bring more Expressive Arts into RVE.ย  Mr Meredith showed us some of his artwork and we thought we could adopt something similar by producing collages depicting each of our values. We also discussed:
  • Prayer species in our school / Worship Displays
  • Mirrors in the class room
  • Target display boards asking โ€˜how are we specialโ€™
  • Word Art for each value
  • Our creation artwork based on Dai Woolridge Spoken Word.
  • Making a labyrinth
  • Easter Assembly โ€“ rehearsals next week in JFโ€™s room

Easter Competition

What is special about our world?

In RVE we discussed the meaning of the word ‘create’ and we became ‘creators’. We created artwork using natural resources that we felt was wonderful. We talked about our creations and how being outside makes us feel.

Arlo “I feel happy and calm”

Alba “Nature is my happy place”

Corey “I like being outdoors looking at butterflies”

Bluebell “Nature makes me feel free”

Lola “I like taking care of things and helping them to grow”

Elin “Being outside makes me feel peaceful with the birds singing and tweeting”

Mini bug hotels!

After deciding we need to increase the biodiversity on the school field, we have decided to make some mini bug hotels to place in our forest school/woodland area whilst we wait for donations to make a bigger bug hotel.

RVE - John Meredith - Big Question

Mr Meredith visited us this morning and shared a lovely story called ‘Tom the Lion’. This story taught us about how to be a kind friend, how to use and share our helping hands and what makes a good friend. Mr Meredith was very impressed with how well we listen to one another and help each other out throughout the day.
