Hello everyone! This week we wrote a newspaper article based on Victorian inventions. Before doing this, we researched some of the famous and unusual inventions that were created in the 19th century. We discovered that the light bulb, the toilet, jelly babies, the London subway, the penny farthing (bicycle), the telephone, ice cream machines and the post box were all created and used during the Victorian era – so we should be very grateful for the creativity of Victorian inventors!
In French we have been busy designing and labelling monsters. Afterwards we created introductions for our beasts by writing hello, my name is… and my age is… in French. We also challenged ourselves by adding colour to the monster’s bodies and then writing the colour in French. Some of the class have even started to write how many arms and legs their beasts have!
This week in R.M.E we have been learning about inspirational people which has been fascinating. We studied the accomplishments of Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King and Malala! We are very excited and eager to learn about other important individuals and how their efforts brought about significant change.
Our P6B comic book club, Babil, have been hard at work producing brilliant comics for our library and the wider school. They are now in the middle of writing their third issue and if anyone would like to read any of the previous issues they can be found in our class library – keep up the amazing work!
