P7a World War II Focus

Here are a few photos of our World War II display. You can see our timeline and leader portraits.

This week the children had to write a letter from the perspective of an evacuee writing home to their parents. They really managed to put themselves into the shoes of an evacuee and used some excellent emotive language. The children then self assessed their letters against the success criteria and a partner peer assessed them. The children are becoming very confident at giving constructive feedback and recognising what they need to further develop.

We developed our ICT skills by exploring Glow and creating sway presentations (like PowerPoint but easier to create/adapt) about evacuees.

In numeracy we added percentages to our decimal and fraction work. The children were working on converting between all 3 measures and this is certainly challenging us. We will continue this next week.

In French we did a listening comprehension based on food and drink. We are working on developing the 4 skills the children will need to continue their language development at the academy (reading, writing, listening and speaking).

In Spanish we learnt about “la familia” and the names of our family members.
