⚔️ Becoming Anglo-Saxon Historians! 🛡️

During History this term, we have been learning all about the Anglo-Saxons.

Our lesson began with the children passing around and carefully examining recreated Anglo-Saxon artefacts. We then explored some of the fascinating artefacts unearthed from Sutton Hoo excavation, making inferences about their owner, what they may have been used for, and what they reveal about Anglo-Saxon society.

A fantastic hands-on History lesson full of curiosity, investigation and great fun! 🏺✨

🦋 Butterfly Creations in the Great Outdoors! 🌿

We have been busy exploring nature this week! We collected natural materials from our outdoor area and used them to decorate and bring our butterflies to life. 🍃✨

A wonderful way to get creative, explore textures, and connect with the world around us. 🌸

🧪✨ Mixing Up Kindness Potions! 💛

We have been creating our very own kindness potions! We thought carefully about the ingredients we would like to add, choosing things that represent kindness, care and positivity. We then mixed our potions together and shared our ideas about how we can spread kindness every day. 🌈

🤖 Exploring the Ethics of AI 💡

In Computing, we have been investigating the ethical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and discussing whether AI should be used to replace certain jobs. We explored different viewpoints, considered the benefits and challenges of AI, and developed our critical thinking skills by debating its impact on the future of work. 🌍✨

🔬 A Closer Look at Blood! 🩸

In Science, we explored the fascinating composition of blood and learned about the important roles of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

We then created our own models to represent what blood looks like under a microscope, helping us understand the different parts and their functions. 🧬✨

Investigating Viscosity in Science! 🧪

In our science lesson today, Rowan class explored the viscosity of liquids. We tested a variety of liquids by observing how quickly they travelled down a laminated card to see which reached the bottom first.

It was fascinating to compare liquids such as cream, washing-up liquid and maple syrup, and discover how their different thicknesses affected their speed.

💒 Exploring Vocations, Faith & Service 🙌

Today, Sycamore Class had the wonderful opportunity to visit St Mary’s College Seminary to learn more about vocations and life within the Church.

The pupils engaged thoughtfully throughout the day, gaining insight into the call to serve God and others through different vocations. They showed great reverence, respect, and curiosity as they explored seminary life and deepened their understanding of faith and service.

Thank you to everyone at St Mary's College, Oscott for their warm welcome and inspiring hospitality.
