What We Have Been Learning This Week

On Friday the 16th there was a special day to raise money for the charity, Children In Need, the Pupil Leadership Team and the Prefects worked around the clock to organise the activities. There was a surprise visitor on the day who goes by the name of Mr.Tumble (Not the real him by the way, he is way too famous) The school raised £140.35  for the charity.

On Tuesday the 20th P6/7 showed the school and others their presentations on vertebrates and invertebrates.

All classes have been working on their products for the school Christmas fair since the start of November.

 

What we have been learning this week.

We have been looking at the habitats of animals of our choice. Then we thought and researched about the threats of the habitats and solutions to solve them. In soft start there have been a lot people writing stories with a theme of the Rainforest as it is our topic. Some of these stories includes Halogreens and Santa’s scam by Alfie and Adam and the moonlit forest by an anonymous writer.

What have we been learning

This week we have been looking at  life cycle’s of different vertebrates and invertebrates in IDL.  For example a preying mantis is an invertebrate because it does not have a spine. Other groups created lifecycle wall displays on sloths, spiders, birds, frogs, crabs, fish and snakes.  We have been using money in maths, as well as learning division strategies. We also started our enterprise topic for the christmas fair thinking about what materials we will need and what a quality product looks like.
