“We were doing some philosophy. We did some fun activities and got to know about each other a bit better. First we did a seat swapping game, then we did a warm up with a talking stick saying my name is and ‘how do you do?’ We read an extract from a story then answered the questions, can you be nowhere and can something you say mean something else?” Lucy and Olivia

“In maths some of us were multiplying decimals by 10 and 100. We moved the numbers to the left. Some of us did some problem solving with fractions. Others did subtraction with exchanging.” Edward, Zakir and Alfie

“We did some measuring this week. We measured in metres and converted that to centimetres and a mix of metres and centimetres. We also estimated some objects in the playground’s length or height, then we measured to check.” Jenny

“We learnt about success and the bits people see and the other bits that they don’t. We designed flowers, icebergs and trees. At the top was success and below we put on the hidden things people do to be successful like hard work, determination, failure and trying again. Next to each thing we wrote we drew a picture to represent each one, it’s called a sketch note.” Isla

“In P.E we did fitness circuits. We split into 3 groups and there were 4 different exercises, sprinting, jogging, burpees and star jumps. Then we finished with a game of ‘duck, hero, meerkat.’” Ross G

“In drama we practised our mimes with Mrs Hutchison. We mimed blowing a balloon, being trapped in a box and picking a flower.” Jude

“In music we were clapping along to the notes in a song. Then we played the forbidden clapping game. There was a forbidden rhythm, we weren’t allowed to copy the forbidden rhythm.” Charlotte

We also started our new topic this week. We will be learning about animals that live in polar habitats. We did our first lesson where we tried a few activities as a taster of the new topic.
