RE Week-Clay tiles, visit to the church, and biscuits....and much more.

At the start of the week we visited the church- our aim in maths was to draw a  scaled plan of the church and church grounds so we had to measure carefully .

inside and outside

are you sure?

let's just check

team work

I'll measure, you record

As well as measuring  we looked at  and made notes about stained glass windows ready for creating our own versions- including biscuits!

Our stained glass biscuits were created by melting sweets in the middle of the biscuits- very clever and effective.

Year 5 led the Collective Worship telling the school about their perfect world.They read poems, showed power points, chose hymns and shared their drama activities.

a thought provoking poem-created and read by the authors.

After our homework task -to design tiles to show our perfect world and how it will be in the future- we turned our images into clay tiles. Artist Richard gave us guidance and a range of tools to use and we spent the next few hours creating our tiles.
