To celebrate Chinese New Year we cooked vegetarian spring rolls. Working together, we sliced and chopped cabbage, ginger, carrot and spring onions and a generous pinch of spices! Carefully, we spooned the ingredients onto the pastry and wrapped them up before placing in the ovens to cook. Very tasty!
Today we used the VR headsets to further our learning and understanding of the Holocaust. We visited the Holocaust memorial in Berlin and afterwards recorded our questions. We then researched our questions and discussed our findings with the class. The technology was a helpful way of exploring our Topic in more detail.
As a class we have decided to sell raffle tickets for a giant teddy bear to raise money for the school. We will sell tickets during lunch and the winner will be announced at the Christmas concert. We conducted surveys to begin with to gauge the level of interest and recorded our data on tally sheets. Over the next few weeks we have decided to use Google Sheets to record ticket sales to monitor profit and loss and number of tickets sold to each class. We will then generate and interpret the charts to find out how successful we have been!
Finally we will send out a Google Form for pupils in other classes to fill out to find out how we could change the enterprise for next year.
We created visual mindmaps displaying the skills we developed last term.
I used visual notes to represent all of the different skills I learned. I drew a pencil and lightbulb in the brain because I am most proud of my writing last term. I have been independent and used ICT to help me. Ryan L
We have been learning about non-renewable and renewable energies and exploring the advantages and disadvantages.
We used our art skills to create symbols representing the 4 elements we can harness as energy sources. We also wanted to represent the importance of caring for the environment and our planet.

We have been exploring the festival Eid Al Ahad and learning about the customs and stories of Islam.
We created perspective pictures of the mountains featured in the story of Zam Zam and put the 5 pillars of Islam in the foreground.
We have been exploring global issues using critical thinking approaches. We explored the problem of ocean acidification using the critical thinking tree.
We identified the roots of the problem, the impact it has on the environment and for us all. We then explored different solutions and actions we could take as global citizen.
We then created concept cartoons to display our learning.
I used ICT to create my concept cartoon. My solution was to work together to stop polluting the environment. Scott
In science we have been learning about acids and alkaline by conducting experiments using litmus paper and the ph scale.
Acids range from PH 1-6 and shows up as red, orange and yellow on the ph scale. Lemon is an example of an acid and can be corrosive. Alkalines range from 7-14 and show up as 8-14 on the ph scale. Toothpaste is an alkaline which we use to neutralise the acid in food we have eaten such as fruit.
We created posters to display our learning . I really enjoyed conducting the experiments and predicting what type of substances are acids or alkalines. Thomas S
