This week we started our new topic! Defending Democracy. Mrs Rasul played a little joke on everyone and asked us to vote for what we would like to do for P.E. next week. Once we had our choices on a post – it note she only collected in the votes from the girls. This made the boys a little angry and they thought it was unfair… until Mrs Rasul told us all that we are going to learn about a time when women were not allowed to vote and the suffragettes. It was a fun way to start a new topic.

Other learning this week includes:

Research for suffragettes versus suffragists

We are going to work in pairs to create comparison posters. So this week we completed some research about both organisations and found key information about both. We have started our posters on Canva and will continue them next week.

Symmetry

We had a look at symmetry in more complex shapes and how to identify lines of symmetry.

Multiculturalism 

We explored work of Sarah Kwan. She combines Scottish and Chinese culture to create some lovely art. This week we planned our own art projects which will combine the 2 cultures. Next week we will work on turning these into masterpieces!
