We have been really busy since our last blog! Here are some of the things we have been up to:
We have continued with our Olympics Team Building Challenge. We took part in boccia which is a game usually played in wheelchairs, it was very fun but quite hard at times! We also did the spider race, mini minle and high jump which was VERY fun! We also took part in a Maths, Literacy, and (VERY STRESSFUL!!!) Technology challenge. We wrote imaginative stories about a day in the Olympics and made leaflets about Paralympic sports with a partner. Team Australia were finally crowned the winners with 25 points overall! Team USA took the silver medal and Italy/France took the bronze. Well done to everyone for the amazing sportsmanship!
In Maths we learned about grid references, they were a little tricky but quite fun. The Spheres have been learning bus stop division and about HTU. The Cuboids have also been practising dividing and learning to read information from different types of graphs such as bar charts and pictograms. The Pyramids have been learning money and giving correct change. They have also been learning quarter past and quarter to times on analogue and digital clocks. We are still loving our daily mental maths games too!
In Literacy, we wrote poems about ourselves which included amazing similes and interesting vocabulary. In grammar, we have been learning about past tense verbs and articles like a/an. In French, learned how to ask/answer questions about ourselves. For Paris Fashion Week, we made an eye catching outfit for the runway and used French adjectives to describe it including colours and shapes. We are still working hard with all our spelling rules and doing some tricky reading comprehension passages.
In R.E. we learned about St Cadoc’s Day. We held a prayer service in our class and had a class talent show! We also learned about St Vincent de Paul and his charity work. We learned a new prayer called the Act of Sorrow, we now say it at the end of the day to ask God forgive us for any sins.
We made a new set of class rules and made a class charter to display these, we chose a gaming theme and are really happy with how it looks! We also made COP26 posters to spread the message about climate change and global warming. We enjoyed using the chromebooks to help us. We have been enjoying Outdoor Learning in the forest with Miss O’Donnell, we have been finding different types of angles and looking at living and non-living things. We have chosen a new class topic, Titanic, and are really looking forward to getting started!
