15th and 16th May
Post-SATs life has begun!
We have started a unit of work about poetry in English in which we are thinking about different styles in which poems are written. We are considering the way poets record their poems (visual aspects), the way they use the sounds of words (sound aspects) and the language features he or she employs - the types of words they use; alliteration, onomatopoeia, simile, metaphor, etc. - (language aspects).
In ICT we have begun learning to use the features in Windows Moviemaker. We have loaded the soundtrack of a song, inserted some titles and have also imported some still and moving images to fit to the words of the song.
In maths we have been doing some investigations and we have started our Aztecs topic in history. No-one knew anything about the Aztecs so we started by thinking about - what we would need to find out so that we could say "I know all about the Aztecs".
Today we also had our weekly PE session with the YMCA, French and our tables test.
