This week we have been working in groups to create a skyscape of religious buildings.
We were practising our tables facts by playing Tri-ominoes. It made us think hard.
We were lucky enough to have Mrs Davies come into school to talk to us about her role as an HR Manager at Harvey Nichols. We had a presentation and then a Q & A session which was very informative.
In Maths some groups were learning how to calculate bills and figure out best buys. For some calculations we were using calculators and worked in groups. Another group were working on Hire Purchase calculations and will begin to look at Foreign Exchange.
In writing we were creating a reflective piece of writing, based around The Battle of the Somme from WW1. We took notes from videos and footage from the Battle which we used to help us with factual content. Some of the writing was so emotional it made Mrs Browne cry.
In PE we were further developing our handball and benchball skills. Everyone made good progress but Chloe and Jowita showed the greatest improvement.
We created clothes designs for dolls. We had to measure the models and select materials before creating a template to cut material from. The next step is to sew the cut material to create the outfits.
In PE with Mr Cox we have started a new block of handball. We started by practising our passing skill and then applied these to a game situation.
