What is Palm Sunday...

As part of our Easter topic in RE we have been looking at the story of Palm Sunday and the symbolism of the palm leaves that were placed on the ground as a sign of respect
and honour to Jesus. After reading and discussing the story of Palm Sunday we split into groups and re- enacted the story. Take a look at one of our groups performing the story of Palm Sunday...

Great Fire of London house building....

So as promised last week, here is an update on our 'Pudding Lane' house building development....


The children had previously measured the front, back and side faces of their buildings and of their roofs. This week they have measured and cut tabs to join the front, back and sides and stuck them together. Some children managed to get onto attaching their roof.


To complete our house building projects, the children will be mixing primary colours to make the colours found on the buildings in Pudding Lane and then painting their houses. They will need to add any finishing touches like the wooden beams to finish....

Great Fire role play!

This week Class Two were given a key event of the Great Fire of London and then worked in small groups of two or three to re-enact it. We presented them to the rest of the class who then had to work out the key event. Following this, we sequenced the events in chronological order. In our DT learning we are now in the process of making our 'Pudding Lane' houses for our class street display so expect to see photos of these soon....
