This has been a very busy term for the Lions.
We started off the term on a high when the Lions had a Sikhism day! The children learnt about the Sikh beliefs and lifestyles! We also sampled traditional food that would be served in the Langar (the Sikh kitchen). The children loved it!
The children have enjoyed doing a literacy topic on ‘argument’, they have practiced their debating skills and I’m sure we have some budding politicians in our midst! The children have enjoyed Hugo Cabaret, the book our topic was based on.
We are now finishing off our term looking at poetry with a link to conservation. The children have enjoyed researching issues that they feel strongly about and are now looking at writing their own poems to express this idea.
Lions have also been working incredibly hard on their dancing over the past couple of weeks. They have made a routine for the song ‘Jai Ho’ from the film Slumdog Millionaire (a link with our India topic) and have worked hard to perfect it. We will be performing it during the last week of term at a dance festival at the Stamford Arts Centre.
There is a lot more to mention, a topic on water, fantastic batiking, excellent rugby skills, food chains and adapting to environments…the list is endless…
Before the end of term we have a French day to look forwards to, this will provide an excellent opportunity for the children to sample French cuisine, play French games and develop their knowledge of the French language.
Next term the our topic is based around ‘Our Wonderful World,’ this links very nicely to look at sustainability and Africa. We also have the almighty SATS testing to look forwards to as well as assigning parts and practising for our wonderful play.
We look forwards to seeing you in the summer term.
