Our word of the week has been Passion as we begin our Holy Week assemblies. We listened to the Gospel (Matthew 21:1–11) and heard about how Jesus arrived in Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. This helped us to reflect on the importance of this special time in the Church’s year.

In RE, we created thoughtful posters about how we can live out the Eucharist in our daily lives. We shared ideas such as being involved in Church, giving to charity, and caring for our parish community.

This week’s learning.

In English, we began planning our information leaflets. We carefully considered subheadings and key vocabulary that we will include to make our writing clear and informative. We explored Roman army formations and the different weapons soldiers used, helping us to understand how organised and powerful the Roman army was. we learned simple classroom instructions such as sit down, stand up, look, listen, and read, and practised saying them with confidence. In Science, we learned about the function of leaves and how plants make their own food through a process called photosynthesis.
