Community

This half term we are looking at our next Christian value of community.

We began looking at this by discussing what community meant to us. We came up with lots of key words and noticed that they were linked to our other Christian values. With this in mind, we discussed how they all work hand in hand together. 


Next we looked at what communities we belong to. Our list got rather long! They included:
Selby Abbey School, Year 5, Family, brownies, Cubs, friends, swimming club, karate club, gymnastics, netball and football club. 

We looked at how welcome we felt in all of these and how together we looked after one another. 

This week we have been focusing on remembrance day and respecting the fallen soldiers from different wars. We thought about how as a community we all come together to pay our respects and how they fought for our country. 

We recreated Van Gogh's "Field of Poppies" , read In Flanders Fields by John McCrae and looked at the significance of Poppies.


Here are some examples of our art work:
