This week our new Investigators have been announced.  They have been given their welcome packs and will be preparing to meet the children they will be working alongside on their first online call shortly.  We wish them luck in this exciting opportunity.

We’ve started our class novel, “The Explorer,” which ties in with our Rainforest and Biodiversity topic.

We have learned about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and have used some of the most relevant Articles to help us form our Responsible Behaviours Agreement for our class.  We plan to create a rainforest theme which we’ll share with you in time!

Any pupil wishing to represent their class in the Pupil Council had the opportunity to think about what would make them a suitable member and we’ll take a vote on this next week.

For writing this week, poems created in Week 1 were rewritten for display in class and there was a big effort with handwriting.  Well done!

Maths this week was based around problem solving activities with pupils choosing from a wide range of tasks that involved them using strategies such as trial and error, act it out and look for a pattern.  Lots of paired and cooperative group work was also needed to succeed!
