In Social Studies we are doing Global Goals and we started trying to raise money for the Betty Cunningham trust and have great idea’s. We have been thinking about how fortunate we are with our clothes and homes. We sent a letter to through the website on how we want to help. The trust is about a charity supporting kids in Malawi who need help in a village called Kaponda. Our full class wants share this charity so you can help to. For John Muir we are trying to get our explorer award and we are going to Loch Lomond for a trip which relates to John Muir. Later on this year we are going to learn about Ancient Egypt and Greek Gods, we decided to study this as a class. Mrs Watson asked what historical times and events we were interested in. We will also cover some parts of WW2 which we are looking forward to. We are also learning about Climate Change and Global Warming. We tried to find ways we can stop global warming. This is very important and a lot of the jobs needing done are up to us. We will work hard to solve problems, think and create.
In writing this week we wrote a letter to persuade the government for a plastic bottle deposit. We want this to happen to reduce the amount of plastic being thrown away and harming our planet. Hopefully they will listen to us and do something to help reduce plastic waste. Our class reader is now “7 Professors Of The Far North”. We recommend you read it. It is an enjoyable novel and is full of adventures. We have been focussing on our punctuation and also trying to think more deeply about hidden meanings in texts.
In maths we have all been revising place value as we found this tricky especially when working with decimals. We also need to work on angle work especially using protractors. This is something we all agree on. We are also looking at the 8 compass points!
In RME we are exploring the world 6 religions which are: Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism and Judaism. We were learning why people follow a religion.
