Can you believe it, it’s the end of January already!

We continued our study of portrait drawing, using pictures brought from home to draw self portraits. Hopefully we’ll see a few up on our walls.

We started our new topic this term – China – by asking ourselves what we wanted to learn about and in our groups we created posters detailing our most pressing questions.

In PE we continued to practise our forehand and backhand shots, competing in pairs to see how long we can keep short distance, no-bounce, rallies going between us.

In Numeracy we covered time, adding and subtracting with money and division. This week we also had the choice of redrafting either our iambic pentameter poem or our Thank You Letter. We know redrafting is difficult but so important to improve ourselves as both readers and writers.

In Science we started to learn about energy and its different forms such as thermal, sound, light and nuclear energy.

We also had an assembly on Thursday with our campus cop. This was an important presentation as it dealt with serious topics such as social media use and violence towards others. We know what our responsibilities are as pupils and as a class and now we are further armed with the knowledge that our actions can have serious consequences.

Here we come February.
