Mr Atkinson’s comment:
Finally, some sunny weather has arrived! I would like to thank everyone for supporting the pupils with creating their Solo-Talks, I found them so interesting! Some of our pupils have also had a busy week attending their committees.
Literacy and English
This week we all finished our Solo-Talks and Mr Atkinson gave us some feedback about how we presented. Below are some photos of us in action!
Our Writing lesson was so much fun this week! Mr Atkinson said that we could bring in any item from home to create a persuasive description for. We were encouraged to use WOW words and our new persuasive phrases to convince our audience to purchase the items.
To support with our writing, we looked at different persuasive texts and answered comprehension questions based on them.
We have just started a new series of lessons on philosophy to help us develop our talking and listening skills.
Numeracy and Maths
In Maths some of us have been converting ml and l and using this knowledge to help solve adding and subtracting calculations. We also been working on how to find the missing angle in complementary and supplementary angles and using our understanding to help write directions involving maps. We are also getting quicker with determining the rules for function machines and we have begun to use concrete materials to help with exchanging in 3-digit calculations.
Health and Wellbeing
In our tennis lessons we have been developing our backhand shots by hitting balls over the net to our partners and we have been serving into our target hoops to help improve our aim.
We spent time exploring friendship by discussing the desirable qualities we want in friends, how to maintain a friendship and how we should interact safely online with friends.
RME
During our RME lesson we discussed the differences between inspirational people and Saints. Some of us shared what the equivalent of a Saint is in their religion and then we used the Chromebooks to create a slide on someone who is a role model in our lives. We made sure that if we used a celebrity or family member that we carefully thought about how they inspire us to do good deeds.
Science
With Mrs Scoular we have started learning about which rocks are natural or human made.
