18th October 2019: 

What a busy week in St Rose Class! In RE lessons, we have been learning all about the Rosary and how this is a special prayer that helps us to remember the happy, sad and extraordinary events in the life of Jesus and Mary. The children have learned how to say a decade of this prayer during class worship. In Mathematics lessons,  we have been continuing to get to grips with adding multiples of 10 to 2 digit numbers using a wide range of equipment and resources . Out Literacy lessons have involved exploring our book 'The Antlered Ship' and we have been getting to know the characters better. We have thought about Victor the pigeon and used picture clues to imagine his life before becoming a crew member. In Topic work, we have compared the exploration of Christopher Columbus and Neil Armstrong and have had some very interesting discussions as to which journey we thought was the most risky and which journey we would prefer to take. It was fantastic to listen to the children talking about the problems both explorers might have encountered and I was very impressed that they could recall so much about Christopher Columbus. 

Well done to Matthew who build a superb Lego model of 'The Antlered Ship' for us to admire. We were very impressed with the detail included and that he had managed to include models of all the lovely characters!
