Wild Passport Day has finally came round for our Year 5's. They braved the chilly weather to explore in nature!
In the morning, the children learnt how to make a Nordic sling bracelet using woolen string and wooden discs to act as a weight. The children worked in pairs and communicated with each other as they swung the string towards each other to form the Nordic sling bracelet.
Once made, the pair tied knots and were able to cut them in half so that each person could take home their beautiful creation.
'It was freezing and fun. That session felt like the shortest hour of my life!' - Madeline, Larch.
'This made me very happy because I haven't done anything like that before!' - Nina, Larch.
'For my religion, I wear something that has a tassle that looks like this. I will see if I can add it to it!' - Adyaan, Larch.
Redwood were lucky enough to have a lovely sunny day for their WILD passport. The children were also creative with their clove hitch knot picture frames. The orienteering was a great chance to run around and attempt the beat their last times on the course.
Well done Year 6 for another week of fantastic effort! Year 6 had a great trip to the Tate Modern this week and displayed excellent behaviour, demonstrating the 4 R's throughout the visit.
This half term, Year 6 have been learning about Sikhism; most importantly, why are Gurus important and what do they teach Sikhs? Pupils have had the opportunity to explore Guru Nanak and Guru Arjan and we will then be looking at the Gurdwara and important values in Sikhism. Throughout the unit, pupils have/will have the opportunity to share their own beliefs and make comparisons / links between Sikhism and other religions.
