Our main piece of work has been to continue our mini-topic about the planning proposal to build a mini-supermarket on our school field. We held a "planning meeting" at which different groups of us took the roles of different types of people likely to be affected by the plan. Some of us represented the supermarket owners and they proposed the plan, explaining the benefits of the new shop. Other represented local residents; old people who live in the nearby home; school children and teachers; owners and workers at the nearby Co-op and local teenagers who might expect to be able to get a job at a new shop.

After the debate, we wrote a "discussion text" together illustrating the arguments for and against the plan. The everyone wrote newspaper-style reports about the planning proposal.

We have been continuing our science revision, thinking about Earth in space, and in maths we did a past SATS calculator paper. We had our Friday English and maths groups (on Thursday!) and, to finish the term off, we watched the film of "Carries' War" which links with our history work.

We are now on our Easter holidays. School re-opens on 24th April.
