Welcome back to our weekly blog readers!

Our highlight this week was a footballer coming in to coach us for a special P.E. session!

First, we warmed up with dynamic stretching and we ran from one side of the MUGA to the other. In pairs, with the ball in the middle on a cone, we had to follow instructions from Craig.

E.g. Run on the spot, high knees, go left and right, forward and back, change (jump half way round)

When he said “Go!” we had to get the ball first by using our feet! We also kept a score to see who won.

“I found it really joyful because we were having so much fun and I liked the competition with my partner!” Elay

“It was very fun because I loved the game!” Jovie

“I enjoyed it a lot because I won 3 times in a row!” Maryam

Hello readers and welcome back to our blog!

This week,  we have been learning about directions and compass points. The compass 4 main compass points are North, East, South, West. You could say, Never Eat Shredded Wheat  to help you remember this. We also made some of our own…

Never Eats Soggy Worms!

Never Eats Shrek’s Wellies!

On Friday, we went into the playground to look at the big compass painted on the ground. In pairs, we had to help each other navigate with our eyes closed by giving instructions, using the compass point.

e.g. “Face West, forward 2 steps!”

“Its was fun to tell people what to do!” Ismail

“I liked this activity a lot because on the way back I walked 99 steps, following instructions back to class!” Harry

“I has lots of fun. It was funny when I was told to walk 100 steps forward!” Elay

Bye for now readers!

Welcome back readers!

This week, we have been learning about persuasive writing, which started off with a debate about whether junk food should be made illegal.

We learned the acronym R.O.E.

R = rhetorical questions

0 = opinions

E = emotive language

In pairs we read an advert and we highlighted elements of R.O.E. to see if it was persuading us.

Next, in groups we had our own statements to stick on large pieces of paper. We had to come up with ideas to support these statements using R.O.E.

Such as…

1. Schools should have 1 week off a month instead of longer holidays.
2. School books should be replaced with tablets.
3. Children should be paid to do chores.
4. Break time should be doubled in time.
5. Children should be able to vote as soon as they reach high school.

“I enjoyed coming up fun ideas to support my statement.” Ryan

“I agreed with my statement about break time being longer.” Olivia W

“I liked trying to persuade the class that junk food should be illegal!” Harry

Bye for now!
