This term we have started a new topic work Forensic Science over the coming weeks we will take part in many hands-on practicals, try to solve our own crime and will create a mock court complete with jury and witnesses.

This week during writing we made our own board games thinking about bonuses, forfeits and the main aim of the game. After the writing task we played each other’s board games and took time to self and peer assess. We increased our talking and listening skills explaining the rules of the game to each other.

During numeracy we have been revising time and have worked on perimeter and area of shape using practical activities. We have been working on our speed typing using ICT lessons we are starting to get the hang of where to place our fingers.

Following our topic we have been learning about forgiveness creating a heart which we broke and then healed our partners heart to symbolise the act of forgiveness. We wrote a message when we felt upset by someone else’s actions so we could reflect and let it go and move forward. We set up our very own lie detector tests using eye contact, touch and difficult/ confusing questioning. It was interesting to see who could handle the pressure.
