Science - Electricity - Lesson 4

Dimmer switches let us control the brightness of a light, anywhere from completely off to full brightness. This can be nice when you want to set the brightness "just right," as opposed to a regular light switch that only lets you turn a light on or off. It turns out that you can make a dimmer switch out of an everyday object—a pencil!

Visit from our Schoolbeat Officer - PC Hannah Coll

We had a visit from PC Hannah Coll,  Stroud's School Beater Office, to talk to the children about drugs and peer pressure. The talk was very informative and the children asked lots of thought-provoking questions.

Short Burst Writing

This week in Owls, we began work on our new animation, 'Jotun – Journey of a Viking warrior'. During our first lesson, we watched the opening scenes of the short film before creating a class brainstorm of our initial thoughts and observations.

Next, we used our knowledge of relative clauses and expanded noun phrases to describe the opening setting, creating a clear image in the reader's head, which allowed them to be transported into a deserted Viking village.

​As we have only scratched the surface of our animation, we are very curious to learn what happens next on Jotun's incredible journey and can't wait to see if any of our predictions will come true in the coming weeks!

Football Lesson 5 - passing accurately to a teammate

Picture
This is a dark and magical story about two children who find a mythical creature – a Tyger – in a rubbish dump in London - set in the near future of the 21st Century.  An altered, dark London, where the Tyger is in danger and our protagonists Adam and Zadie are driven to save the Tyger, and in the process save London too. 

This is a book that looks at spirituality, and ideas of community, whilst the Tyger teaches Adam and Zadie about the sheer wonder of the universe, of nature and about interpersonal relationships.  The Tyger helps the children find all their hidden skills and courage and release it all to fight against the awfulness in their world. It is unique book full of adventure, joy and hope in this thrilling read. 
​
It is a book designed for readers of 9 to 99 who enjoy escaping into other worlds. Much anticipated and destined to be a classic that will be shared and enjoyed everywhere.

This Term's Value: Perseverance

‘Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.’ Galatians 6:9 

Song link: You Raise Me Up – Josh Groban 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyEokxi2hWY 
Bible Story: The Parable of the Persistent Widow (Luke 18:1-8) 

‘Yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice.’ 

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’ “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think,  yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’” And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
