This week, as part of our World War 2 work, we have been making model gas masks. The key learning for this was following instructions. ‘It was really hard,’ said Joshua. Leah found the measuring for the aspirator part hard. Sarah thought that it was fun but challenging. We’ve also been working really hard on making posters to inform people about the dangers of gas. We looked at information on Glow to help us make good posters. We needed to have good colour, find out lots of information, think about headings and white space around our work and use team skills to make it as it was a group task. Jak thought that it was hard to space the work out well to make the poster look good. In our writing, we were doing a newspaper article. Jack said, “It was difficult because we had to write it in the third person and in the past tense and use the right style too!”
Well done to everyone for learning their Burns poems. Our class representatives were Hannah-Beth and Jack who performed very well. Congratulations to Jack who was chosen to represent our school at the local level of the Burns competition in the spring.
