We practised the skills with play dough, we will need next week when making our clay vases. We learnt how to make thumb pots like the Ancient Greeks and coil pots like the Ancient Romans 🏺@5JH_LPS

Thank you to one of our year 5s for bringing in the pot he threw himself! We will be making pots this term so it was lovely to see this example. #LPSart

How do theists deal with life’s challenges? We experienced a blind obstacle course and thought about how guidance and trust was needed to make it through. We thought about the different things theist do when life gets tough and how faith helps them #LPSre

Everyone had so much to say today when we discussed atheist, theist and agnostic ideas about where the universe came from. It was interesting to realise that, for some, science and religion BOTH have a part to play in their beliefs. #LPSre
