This week, we have begun working in our Make £5 Grow teams. We have established rules for our teams, we have identified personal skills and the roles best suited to each member of the team and we have begun to generate our ideas. We will look to carry our market research before we finalise and make our decision.

In Numeracy, we have continued to learn about money, including budgeting, profit and loss, hire purchase, commission and overtime. We enjoyed working in pairs to work out a family shopping budget.

In Literacy, we have been developing our spelling skills. We have also been working on our note-taking from information texts. We have used these notes to make information reports of our own. We peer assessed each other’s work and used this to help set new targets for our work.

In HWB, we have explored resilience and how to cope with different challenges we may face. In P.E, we have carried out fitness stations as we look to improve our stamina and we have also developed our football skills.

In French, we have been consolidating our learning in days, months and seasons and enjoyed using ‘Blooket’ (online game) to test our knowledge.

We have continued to develop our ukulele skills, including a new chord.

In Art, we have been learning about perspective in our work and creating Halloween inspired images.

We enjoyed working with our buddies to create a spooky spell and we collected items from our playground to help make it.

In Science, we have begun exploring properties of solids, liquids and gases.

We have been experimenting with different roles in Drama, developing movement and voice.
