1st and 2nd December
In English we have written a further passage for our biography of Matthew Webb, concentrating upon his famous channel swim, and we have done more problem solving in maths.
On Thursday afternoon we had a percussionist come to school to give a performance. He demonstrated a range of instruments and also used an electronic drum kit and a synthesizer to perform music in a range of styles.
Today we had our special Friday English and maths groups and, after practising the songs for our Christmas concert in the afternoon, we finished the day with design technology. We tested the strength of the beams we made last week and then began creating some strong "board-type" structures using card and art-straws.
