Over the summer term, Caradoc have been learning about what motivates people who follow Islam to lead a good life.

This week, we have been exploring what Muslim people believe about eternal life; we have learnt about the Muslim belief that their 8 gates through which people can enter the garden of ‘Jannah’ – heaven. We have been thinking about how this belief influences how a Muslim leads their life.

Caradoc pupils have enjoyed reflecting on this learning and comparing this to other religions’ views about life after death, non-religious views about heaven and eternal life and their own views on eternal life and what ‘heaven’ means to them.

In Caradoc class, we have been learning about the circulatory system and the role of our heart and lungs as well as the blood vessels.

Caradoc pupils have enjoyed exploring how our hear rates are affected by different life-style activities such as yoga, relaxing, walking and running.

Caradoc Class really enjoyed the visit from Frank Cottrell-Boyce this week.

Frank came to St. George’s to talk to us about his newest book release; in the lockdown, he wrote the story ‘Noah’s Gold’ which is his most recent novel.

The pupils really enjoyed listening to Frank share his life experiences which led to his latest story line and loved listening to him read aloud some snippets.

Pupils were also involved in a question and answer session where they learnt about his life, interests, writing inspirations and experiences.

This was a fantastic visit that was enjoyed by all!

Year 6 pupils have been enjoying applying a range of maths skills to a garden design project. They were given a budget of £750 and were asked to design a garden that covered an area of 80 square meters, filling it with features within their budgets.

Ragleth class enjoyed a well-deserved game of rounders in the sunshine today!

Year 6 always work incredibly hard and this week has been no exception. All of our  class received a celebration certificate this week for their amazing effort.

Ragleth deserve a big well done for attending additional maths booster sessions every Monday and Wednesday morning.

They have worked really hard to continuously improve their amazing maths skills and today celebrated with a breakfast of hot cross buns!

Caradoc are enjoying their newest PE unit ‘Tri Golf’.

They have been practising and refining skills such as chipping and putting and applying these to competitive games as well as developing personal skills such as cooperation, honesty, staying safe and respect.

Today, pupils enjoyed refining their chipping skills and applying these to target practice activities and group games.

Year 6 were lucky enough to have a visit from Mrs Simpson today! She shared her experiences as a female electrical engineer in the Royal Navy where she worked on ships maintaining aircrafts.

During the course of the workshop, children were able to learn about electrical components, basic circuits and discover what’s life is like as an electrical engineer.

The Four Colour Theorem was first stated just over 150 years ago, and finally proved conclusively in 1976. It is an outstanding example of how old ideas combine with new discoveries and techniques in different fields of mathematics to provide new approaches to a problem. It is also an example of how an apparently simple problem was thought to be ‘solved’ but then became more complex, and it is the first spectacular example where a computer was involved in proving a mathematical theorem.

It states that any map can be colour using only 4 colours where no two colours will touch on adjacent sides.

In art, Caradoc Class have been investigating the Theorem for different patterns. For some we noticed that fewer than four colours were needed to.

We then created some of our own challenges. Can you colour them using only 4  colours?
