We have started learning about the important stories in Christianity and Judaism.  We looked at the differences between these two world religions. The place of worship for Christians is called the church.The place of worship for Jewish people is called the synagogue.

We have been working hard on  our castles topic. We researched why castles were built and when they were first built in the UK. We also had to decide where we would build a castle and give our reasons for this. We shared this together and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of each location. This week  we were also working in a small group to discuss and sort the strengths and weaknesses of a motte and bailey castle. Did you know these could be built in just a few weeks?

Our imaginative writing task this week was to write about a time travel trip to a castle. We had to write an interesting story with a beginning. middle and end. We used lots of wonderful wow words to describe our setting.

Also this week we have been learning about alliteration. This is where the same sounds or letters are together in a few of the words in a sentence to make it more interesting! We wrote some tongue twisters using alliteration! Here is an example of one of these- Racing Robertrolls rubbers!

Our health topic is internet safety and we have found out that if you get an e-mail from someone you don’t know, delete it! It might have a virus! We worked hard to create a display for our dining hall, which shares some more important tips that we have learned!

It has been a fun and busy week!
