'We had a wonderful opportunity to get creative this week. We were able to work with experts from Lincoln University and Transported Art. Using willow, masking tape and tissue paper, we were able to sculpt gingerbread houses! The structures were a shared design; however, when it came to the decoration, each of us were able to modify the aesthetic. 

Then, on Friday night, we were able to come together with other Primary Schools, some Secondary School, Boston Collage and professional performers to be able to parade through town. This was then when the Christmas lights were switched on. It was a magical time of creating a memory as part of the community of Boston.' - Kyle Peace Class

Music 

Can music help us to process life’s big emotions? 

This term we are leading a thanksgiving service to mark Armistice day as well as holding a remembrance service for the school during Collective Worship. Therefore, we are using our Music unit to sing in harmony, holding our part within an increasingly complicated ensemble, to explore how music can be a tool for healing.  

Science 

Does a heart’s rate always stay the same? 

Our knowledge of animals, including humans, will deepen this term as we learn about the circulatory system within our Science unit this term.

History 

How does war force civilisations to develop?

Through the power of story, we are working as Historians this term. We are exploring the role of people from Boston in The Great War through the artefact boxes given to us by the Parish of Boston.  We have also taken place in a murder mystery to solve who was responsible for the outbreak of World War One.  

In one of our History lessons we have learned about a local woman who was independent and well-travelled. While she was nursing in Belgium, she was subjected to German occupation.  During The Great War, Edith was involved with smuggling around 200 British soldiers out of her hospital in Brussels. 
 

We looked into the case and held our own debate. This made us question how history is recorded and how to examine sources based on who has recorded the information. 

Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) 

How do I know if a relationship is healthy? 

The unit we are studying this term will further support us to develop a clear understanding of what a healthy relationship looks like.  Last term, we discussed and explored healthy, romantic relationships; this term, we will focus on peer relationships.  

Religious Education (RE) 

What does it mean if God is holy and loving? 

Within our lessons, we are studying the unit of Understanding Christianity: God. We shall be exploring what the key words omniscient, omnipresent and eternal mean and how different Christian denominations worship God.  

French 

Qu’est ce que tu portes aujord’hui? 

Within our French unit, we are learning the vocabulary for items of clothes as well as expressing some of our opinions on them!
