In P.E on Monday, we were on the ropes, the climbing frames and vaults during our gymnastics lessons. M really enjoyed going on the vault because she liked the feeling of jumping on the spring board. On Tuesday we had Art with Mrs Barron. We were making a Halloween picture. We made a silhouette with black oil pastel and then we mixed up water colours up for the sky. On Wednesday we worked in our maths groups. Mr English’s group were working on a variety of written maths problems. W even got to vs Mr English in a game of unlucky 13, and unfortunately he was the loser. In Mr Swan’s maths group, we were working on reading and colouring in different fractions. In Mrs McGirr’s maths group, we were working on working out percentages with calculators. In Mrs Stephen’s maths group, we were working on adding and subtracting fractions and top heavy fractions. On Thursday we organised the pumpkin carving competition. We had to collect the pumpkins from each class in the school, label the pumpkins if they weren’t labelled already, collect the 50p entry fee and display them in our classrooms. Mrs Wilson and Mrs Reid from the office judged the pumpkins and chose one winner from each of the wings. The winning pumpkin entries were shared at wing assemblies.  We have also been watching some of The Junior Apprentice in preparation for starting our own businesses. We also completed application forms for the various roles for our Enterprise topic. We have since been assigned to the roles, most people were successful in getting the job they applied for. We have also been writing scary stories. We had to include similes, metaphors and ambitious vocabulary.
