Hi readers,

Welcome to this week’s blog!

IDL – The Business Apprentice

Last Friday, we presented our inventions to Mr Flood for him to vote for his favourite product.

Literacy – Inference.

This week we focused on inference. We made inferences from a range of different pictures. This influenced lots of discussions from the class.

Topic – World War II

This week we started our new topic on World War II. In pairs, we researched key events of World War II and we put them in order onto a timeline.

For writing this week, we created a persuasive text based on WWII. Also, we created our own propaganda poster using the persuasive language that we have developed through our writing.

Today, we researched countries that were Axis and Allies Powers during World War II. We then used a map to plot the Axis and Allies Powers.

Thank you for reading this week’s blog post!

Stay tuned for next week’s blog.

Hi readers,

Welcome to this week’s blog!

Numeracy – Data Handling

This week we continued to look at different graphs. We revised bar graphs and started focusing on line graphs and pie charts.

We gathered data from the class to then display on different graphs.

We also took part in a ‘Data Escape Room’ live lesson! We enjoyed working together using our detective skills to solve the problems.

This week we continued working on our inventions from last week’s task. We have created adverts, logos and a PowerPoint presentation to showcase our ideas.

Today we presented our ideas to Mr Flood for him to vote.

For our final task, we have been working in our teams to come up with a new invention!

Each team has created a new product to meet a specific target audience. We have been writing a pitch, creating a PowerPoint and designing a logo to showcase our ideas.

Next week we will be filming and editing an advert to go along with our new product.

We are looking forward to presenting and advertising our latest inventions.
