Today P7 used their knowledge and writing skills to write trench letters from a soldier’s perspective. They are very descriptive and highlight the horrors of trench warfare.
In the afternoon we finished off our Focused Learning sessions.
Today we continued with our WW1 work and learned about trenches. We learned the different parts incorporated into the trench and roles they played to help soldiers. We also learned how dangerous they can be.
We continued our focused learning activities in the afternoon. It’s great seeing the creative ideas from the children and listen to them sharing their learning and ideas.
Today P7 worked today on converting 12 and 24 hour digital time to analogue. They are working on improving their speed and accuracy.
In the afternoon children continued with their focused learning – working on their selected activities and sharing their learning with others.
Today we started working on our Pupil Voice focused learning activities. Children wanted to create a stop motion animation, create a war hero alter ego, build a model vehicle from the war and do some independent research on an area of their choice. The children will complete an activity each day this week. Mr Green was very impressed with day 1.
Today we were developing our fitness and movement skills. We worked on moving while trying different types of passing skills.
In the afternoon P7 enjoyed their Cool Class Cup Treat!
We have a new class champion for our time game! Good job!
We followed up yesterday’s lesson with some more research on the Red Baron. Children highlighted information and recorded notes from the internet. The fact files created look amazing.
This morning we participated in NLCs Sumdog challenge and worked on aspects of time. Changing digital to AM, PM and 24 hour time.
In the afternoon we looked at the Red Baron. A famous pilot from The Great War. We constructed WW1 style Biplanes.
Meet the Teacher
As we sadly can’t have Meet the Teacher in school, we have all created virtual Meet the Teacher videos to introduce ourselves and show you around the classroom. P7 have created the script, filmed, photographed the content and edited our video to show you the work they have been doing so far. 🌟
Mr Green is currently creating everyone a log in for Microsoft Teams, which is what our homework will be on after the September weekend. There will be one piece of Literacy, Maths and Other. Pupils will complete and upload their document or a photo of their written work and I will be able to mark it and send it back. 📚
At home, you can support your child by encouraging them to read, to practise their times tables (pupils should be aiming to have quick recall of all tables from 2-12). In class we have practised 2, 3, 4 and 6 times tables so far. Pupils can use Topmarks, Sumdog and Active Learn at home. I will set Sumdog challenges every two weeks. Pupils can also access books through Bug Club, which we will be doing in class too. 📖 ✖️
Thank you for watching and I hope to see you all soon! 🌈 😀
Stay safe,
Miss Park 🙂
