Welcome to our P5D weekly blog. In PE we have been trying to improve our stamina by participating in timed running activities and have been playing capture the flag with P5R!
In art, we have been learning about tone and how we can use dark, mid, light and highlight tones to create a 3D picture. We used our skills to create landscapes.
This week we have been celebrating ‘Cool to be Kind’ and anti-bullying week. We have been learning about Jessie J and Dolly Parton and how they wrote songs about a time when they were bullied at school. We had to analyse the song lyrics to work out the messages being given. We then used emotion works to explore the emotion that both of these ladies were going through.
We worked in groups to read and learn about different forms of bullying and leaned that there can be cyber, physical, verbal and emotional bullying and all are just as important as each other.
In maths, we have been trying to solve more challenging money problems that had at least 2 steps to them. We used calculators to help us.
In writing, we were being visual authors and had to create a fantasy story through drawing. Next week we will be using our drawings to then write a story.
Congratulations to Hasan this week for being awarded our praise postcard. He has demonstrated a mature attitude towards learning and has tried very hard in all tasks this week. Well done Hasan.
Have a great weekend. Miss Diamond and P5D!
