Exploring the Five Pillars of Islam
Yesterday, Team Endurance began their RE lesson by investigating the items displayed on a table. They used their deduction skills to work out that this term our faith study will be on Islam.
Following this, the children worked hard to find out the key beliefs, significant figure, holy text and festivals that Muslims have. They then used the items and a selection of textbooks to conduct some additional research. They loved having the opportunity to explore and find out more about an area of interest and gather this in notes and diagrams.
Well done, Y6! It was a powerful lesson!
This week in TB - WC 01/06/26
April showers…in June…at least it’s warm!
A lovely week of mapping skills in both Upper and Lower School.
Lower School undertook a French Animal Hunt (learning the names of 8 domestic animals in French) before exploring maps, with a focus on orienteering maps; we looked at sample maps and keys and then looked round our school site to see which features of a key we would need if making a map of KJS.
Following this, we played a key-matching relay game and then drew map symbols for a partner to identify.
Upper School have discussed Derbyshire and shared places in Derbyshire that are special to us.
We then made a map of Derbyshire and models of 9 of its wonderful attractions! During the task, we focussed heavily on YOU22 attributes and, post constructions, we reflected on the ones we had shown and the ones we had seen in others.
