Welcome back! We are all ready for a busy second term and lots of learning ahead. We have continued our class novel The Hunger Games and took part is some great drama taking on characteristics and feelings of the characters involved. We hope this will allow us to build more empathy with the characters as the story unfolds. We also looked at probability and used The Hunger Games “Reaping” to work out the chances of being chosen. This put probability into a context that made sense to us. We will now be looking at numeric ways of showing probability as fractions decimals and percentages. Money Month will be starting in November when we can learn about all things financial by maintaining and balancing our own “earnings”. This will give a great awareness of money, its value and the pitfalls and advantages of carefully managed credit.

Writing and creating our dystopian character was super fun because I thought that my character was really cool. This character is called a protagonist-Harrison.

We are learning about increasing our fitness and stamina and decision making in PE with Mrs Howard. –Leo

We enjoyed making Top Trumps cards for our districts in Hunger Games. We learned how to use search engines efficiently.-Archie.

We created fluid faces in Art for our Heartstone project to demonstrate equalities and how we should have tolerance for differences in people.-Ferida.

I enjoyed acting out the reaping scene in Hunger Games. I got to use my acting skills and it made me think what it would have been like to actually be involved in it.-Charlie.
