Our first week back at school has been so enjoyable, the good weather helped and it was great to be back and seeing one another again.
What did we do?
We learnt how to spell words using the phonemes, se and ce. We learnt that when these letters when grouped together sometimes make the ‘s’ sound. We practised the spelling of these words using a variety of methods including: rainbow writing, fancy writing, bubble writing. We also made word searches. We also learnt how to use personal pronouns effectively and the difference that these make to our writing.
Numeracy – We moved on to percentages. We learnt that percentages are out of 100. We learnt how to convert percentages to fractions and decimals and are have just started learning how to find percentages of amounts.
Health and Wellbeing– We spoke about all of the strategies that we can use to build up resilience. We also spent a lot of time outdoors this week due to the weather being kind and played team games and walked our daily mile.
R.E – We learnt that God has given us talents that he wants us to use well. We spoke about our talents, (we REALLY are a talented bunch) and advise you all to look out for us all as we are stars in the making, ha!
Topic – We started our sustainability project, ‘Life Below Water’. We learnt that on 25th the September 2015, the United Nations agreed to 17 Global Goals to end extreme poverty and improve our world by 2030. One of these goals is to improve things for life under water. The goals are;
- By 2020, conserve at least 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas.
- By 2025, marine pollution will be reduced.
- Enforce laws which stop illegal fishing, overfishing, and other destructive fishing practices.
- Minimise and address the impact of ocean pollution.
We will work hard over the next few weeks to learn what we can do to help with these goals. One thing that we can instantly do is to take our litter home with us or bin it each time we visit the beach. Earth Day, (which we celebrated this week) was a reminder to us all that we only have one earth and we need to cherish it and look after it for us and the creatures and animals that live on it too.
