We seemed to have a good start to the term. There was a certain amount of "admin" to do, but we had time to study an interesting short story about a rather unlikely, but clever secret agent in which we thought about the way the author developed the characters and manipulated the reader to create expectations that we later proved mistaken.

In the afternoon we began our PSHCE work on keeping safe. We looked at a display showing images of different environments and thought about the main hazards and risks to life and safety in these. Then groups planned packing lists suitable for visits to some different environments, balancing requirements to take appropriate equipment and clothing against the desire to carry the minimum in their bags. The best lists were well set out using helpful sub-headings.
