Monday

 

On Monday morning, we did some maths. In maths we were focusing on areas and compound shapes. Then after break, we did comprehension on the suffragettes. In the afternoon, the digital leaders spoke to us about internet safety and how we are safe on the internet! They also showed us a video about cyberbullying.

 

Tuesday  

 

On Tuesday, our Tuesday teacher, Mr Wilson, came to our class and taught us about the nose in science. Did you know that the boogers in the nose are actually dried up snot?  We did some smell tests.

And after break, we had French. In French, we’re working on a French book and we were focusing on colours and numbers in French. After that, we did Spelling! In spelling, we were focusing on the words that had ‘graph’ in them. It was hard, but eventually we got it. The hardest word was bibliography.

Then, in the afternoon,  we did Health and wellbeing. The teachers tried this technique called the “Discussion Carousel”. There were 2 circles of people, and there was 1 inside, the other on the outside. The first circle has to ask questions, and the outer circle has to answer them. We asked questions like “Do you feel like we’re taught about rights enough?” Then, we reported them to the class. It was pretty fun!

Wednesday   

 

On Wednesday morning, we did some writing. We were writing about a suffragette called Emily Davison. Did you know she got trampled by the king’s horse at the Epsom Derby! After break we did some P.E. We first played a game called “wet feet”. How you play it is that there are 2 cones on each side then spaced out in front are another pair of cones, then you have to jump across. And if your feet land in between the cones you have to do 20 jumping jacks! Then after that we played another warm up called “poison ball”. How it worked was that there were 6 people and everyone else was at the back wall. The 6 people had to roll footballs and the rest of the people had to run across without getting hit by the ball. If you did get hit you would become one of the poison people. In the afternoon some of our parents came and the class were doing suffragettes activities. The pupils whose parents didn’t come had to do the green activities and the pupils’ parents who did come had to do the purple activities. It was fun!

 

Thursday 

 

On Thursday morning we finished off our writing, and we talked about the suffragettes and the death of Emily Davison.  Then we finished off maths and our big Cat books.  In the afternoon, more parents came to visit.

                                            Tuesday 

 

On Tuesday we did science in the morning with 2 cups and a string. We cut a hole through the cups and put the string through and then went further away from each other and we could hear each other through the cups. It was very fun. After break we did French where we continued our French book. And we finished our art after.
