Mr Atkinson’s comment:
Welcome back to our blog, I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday! It has been a busy start to the new term with the pupils participating in Culture week and Eid festival.
Literacy and English
We have now started a new writing series focusing on persuasive writing. We discussed how we are persuaded to do things in our lives and then we looked at how WOW words and descriptive language can be used to make something appealing. We also learned how to use exclamation marks to emphasis key points. With this new knowledge we created adverts to some of our favourite locations and illustrated them.
In our comprehension lesson we explored different points of views in texts. We had to carefully look at the wording in sentences to help us understand the differing opinions.
Numeracy and Maths
We have been learning how to identify different angles and we also discussed how to round to the nearest 10 and 100 which led to us debating the accuracy of using rounding in calculations to reach an answer.
Outdoor Learning
We went back to where we had placed our bird feeders and discovered they had all been eaten!
Culture Week Activities
On Monday Uksa visited our class and taught us how to paint a sunset background using watercolours. Afterwards, we created mosques out of black paper which we stuck onto the sunset background.
We had a great time with Mrs Scoular listening to the story Under the Hijab and taking part in the Blooket quiz!
We also researched and created information posters about how eating utensils are used differently in some cultures.
Some of us got Henna and we used this as inspiration to create our very own patterns and designs on sketches and traces of our hands.
On Friday we had an amazing time making Vegetable Samosa and Mango Lassi with help from parents.
