The Last Supper


This week we will think about the events of the Last Supper and why it is so important. This will also help us in our preparation for our First Holy Communion.

What did Jesus say to his disciples during the last supper?

Palm Sunday




On Monday we will be remembering the events of Palm Sunday.
We will also be celebrating it in the hall. What special names was Jesus given?
What do you think the crowd thought and felt?

Literacy - Performance Poetry

This week in Literacy we will be looking at performance poems. We will start at looking at a poem that links to our work on Romans.

Look at the first verse. How might we perform it? Can we make our own verse for it?

This is a song for Caesar’s men
Sinister Dexter Sinister Dexter
Who like a rhyme, every now and then
Sinister Dexter Sinister Dexter

To tell of how they marched the world
Sinister Dexter Sinister Dexter
With Eagles high and cloaks unfurled
Sinister Dexter Sinister Dexter

History topic - Romans


We have started work on the Romans. We have been learning lots of interesting facts.

Did you know the floors of Roman buildings were often richly decorated with mosaics? (Tiny coloured stones ).

You can use this program to have a go at making your own!
