Cobden

Welcome to Year 4/5/6

Cobden Class is taught by Mrs Williams who is supported in class by Mrs Bateman.

Please ensure that a PE kit is brought into school on a Monday and taken home on a Friday. All items of PE kit (and school uniform) should be labelled with the child's name and class.

We will ensure that they are sent home at the end of every half term.

Children have weekly spellings to learn at home alongside times tables and daily reading. Weekly spellings will be tested in School every Wednesday.

ICE Life Expedition

Year 5/6 pupils visited Belmont Chapel to participate in an exhibition all about the life of Jesus. Much of this was through the use of Ipads with the children exploring a range of stories with quiz style questions, encouraging us to think deeper about the life of Jesus and events in the Bible.

Islam and Eid

In Cobden class this term we have been learning about the principles of Islam. Over the last few weeks we have focussed on the celebration of Eid and why it is important to Muslims. We have learnt about how during Eid lots of events happen in the community including families sharing food together. To complete our learning on Islam, we made two traditional recipes and shared them together.
