We have had another fantastic week of learning and opportunities to share our faith and knowledge with others.

In Whole Class Reading, we began exploring Skellig by David Almond. We have been developing our reading skills by discussing the opening chapters, making predictions, and thinking carefully about the mysterious character of Skellig and the atmosphere created by the author.

In History, we investigated what historians think happened to the Ancient Maya civilisation. We explored different theories and examined the evidence historians use to make conclusions about the past, considering why some questions remain unanswered.

In RE, we explored the relationship between science and religion by learning about Georges Lemaître, the Catholic priest and scientist who first proposed the idea that became known as the Big Bang Theory. His work helped us understand that faith and science can work alongside one another to help us make sense of the world and the universe.

One of the highlights of our week was leading our whole-school assembly on Popes and Catholic Leaders. We confidently shared our learning with the rest of the school, reflecting on the qualities of strong Catholic leadership and the impact that Popes have had on the Church and the wider world. 

We have shown excellent curiosity, thoughtful discussion and confidence in our learning this week, and we look forward to building on this learning in the weeks ahead. 🌟
