The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas –

This week in reading we have been focusing on The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and learning all about what it would have been like to be a child in WW2. We have looked at how the author uses clothes to define status and give us clues about a character.

 

VCOP –

We have been revising how to use apostrophe to show possession for singular and plural nouns.

 

SNSA’s –

Instead of doing maths this week we were doing our SNSA’s which is an assessment. We did numeracy, reading, and writing.

 

Assembly –

In assembly we are learning about how richer countries should help support poorer countries if they need access to clean water. There is a charity called Water Aid that helps build taps for fresh water. Normally children and adults would walk for miles for dirty water, however because Water Aid are helping them they are much healthier and happier.

 

P.E. –

In P.E. we are learning about how to defend in Frisbee. Defending is very crucial in the game because you can use it to prevent the other team from scoring or use it to intercept and get it for your team. The way you defend is by marking the opposing team by following them everywhere they go. Each player will get a place on the court they have to defend.

IDL –

 

We have been learning about rationing during WW2. We have also been continuing to update our WW2 Google Form Quiz.

IDL

This week in IDL we have been learning about the Blitz and how Adolf Hitler sent Jews to concentration camps. We learnt that Auschwitz was the biggest concentration camp in Poland.

Writing

Because this week was Internet Safety week we created our own Internet Safety posters, one of the success criteria was to create a poster with at least three pros and cons about social media or the Internet.

 

Reading

This term, we have been reading The Boy In Striped Pyjamas and this week we had discovered the connection between the new house being called ‘Out-With’ and the concentration camp that was called Auschwitz.

 

Scots Poems

To remember Robert Burns, every year we have to learn a Scots poem to recite to the class. This year we voted for Brodie, Cameron, Lucy and Molly got through to the finals where you have to recite your poem to Mrs Dalziel and Mrs Clark.

During PE this term we have been focusing on ultimate frisbee , we have all thoroughly enjoyed it.
