Year 6 Step back in time to discover our ‘green and pleasant land’.

History

In Year 6 we have been thinking about what our local area might have looked like in the 1700s, compared to today.

The children looked at maps to identify the features which have remained in the area to the present day, and how important place names are as a clue to the past.

Worship Leaders prepare for St Mary’s Church Christmas Tree Festival

Thank you to Mrs Haywood who came to help us create Christmas tree decorations in today’s Worship Leader meeting.  The preparations will continue into next week, ready for the tree dressing at the end of November.

Year 5 Pilgrim’s Quest visit to Worcester Cathedral

What a fantastic day out to Worcester Cathedral we had! We had a guided tour finding out about the history of the building, including finding out about a real Worcester pilgrim, we made crafts related to the magnificent building and there was even a bit of feet washing for some. Our Year 5 children did themselves and us proud impressing our guides with their knowledge, behaviour and manners.  The children have been welcomed back any time. If in Worcester, do pay a visit

Harvest Church Service

Thank you to our growing group of Worship Leaders for leading a wonderful service to remind us that there is enough food and water in the world for everyone as long as we share it and are responsible with it.  They reminded us through the journey of carrots, why making wise and sustainable choices can make our world a better place – and of course, the importance of saying ‘thank you’.

Walk through the Bible with Year 6

This week, Year 6 have completed their walk through the New Testament with David Brown. In the last few weeks, they have learnt 40 key words and actions to help them to remember some of the stories and the children have been amazing! David actually said they maybe the best he has ever seen after they performed all the actions and words in our collective worship on Thursday.  The children were also presented with a certificate and a Walk through the Bible book, paid for by Church of the Ascension,containing the stories they have learnt about. Well done Year 6 – you filled us with pride – keep it up!

Class 5/6M Printing

As part of our art work leading up to finding out about the artist, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, a busy Friday afternoon was spent creating a house monoprint. We did this by taking a section of our previous sketch of a house and using a viewfinder to enlarge it, before making a print. Well done 5/6M – some creative work!

Geography Field Trip

Local Area Field Study

This week the Children from Years 5&6 went on a field trip to study the area known locally as The Triangle. We were looking at the impact of humans in our local area as this area is potentially going to be developed for housing. The children were considering all aspects of the proposed development and how this might impact the village of Wall Heath and surrounding communities.
