This week has been quite tricky as we have been busy doing our termly assessments which meant we had to reflect on all of the learning we’ve covered this term and try to showcase our best skills. Read on for more information.
Issei, Liam, Matthew and Kaden – We went to the library and the librarian spoke to us about different types of books and sections in the library. We also got a book to read in school.
Charlie and Liam – In our Virgin Money topic we learned about Credit Cards and Hire Purchase, both of which involved us working out percentages of interest. We also continued on from our New York budgeting trip by using calulating and converting skills to convert GBP (Great Britain Pounds) to other currencies including USD (United States Dollars).
Issei – We went outside for PE and played team tig and team dodgeball. It was fun!
Charlie – We celebrated three feast days this week, the feast day of St Nicholas, St Ambrose and the Immaculate Conception.
Dallas – On Thursday we did a reading carousel where we asked and answered Blooms Questions, read aloud in our groups and completed a book review which we were given by the librarian. Our book review will be put up on the walls of the library in the near future so look out for this when you are using the library at the Lanthorn.
Aidan and Liam – In literacy we also used Reading Routes to focus on context clues which is when there is a word which you don’t know the meaning of but you use the words and phrases around it (the context) to work out the definition.
Have a great weekend!
