Mr Atkinson’s comment:
Well done to all the pupils involved in the recent assemblies, I have been so impressed with their presenting skills!
Literacy and English
This week we started our new series of instructional writing. We each created a set of instructions for an activity that we are going to teach and share with our classmates in our P.E. lessons. We discussed the importance of writing a title and description as well as listing all the equipment and chronologically ordering our instructions to make them easy to follow.
We have been exploring different types of instructions by answering comprehension questions on some procedural texts and we also used instructions in our digital and technology activities by programming Micro:bits and coding Spheros to travel around a course.
Numeracy and Maths
It has been another busy week in Maths! Some of us have created our own symmetrical patterns and have been learning how to find the area of shapes. We have also discussed how to determine time durations and we used different phrases that mean subtracting and adding in some calculations.
Health and Wellbeing
On Friday we learned about alcohol laws and how too much of it can impact our senses. One of us brought in goggles that is meant to show you what it is like when you have had too much alcohol and we all tried them on.
Expressive Art – Drama
Over the course of the week our groups performed our versions of Alice in Wonderland using our scripts in front of the class! We tried to apply the skills of tone, gesturing, movement and expression to help create an engaging performance.
IDL – Victorians
It was really interesting learning about some of the different toys Victorian era children played with. We even created our own cup and ball game which was popular back then!
