28th and 29th June
Yesterday we spent some more time on our latest Kensuke's Kingdom task. First, we studied an extract from The Wind in the Willows (where Mole encounters "The River" for the first time) and considered Kenneth Grahame's use of personification. Then we discussed how we could use personification in our own accounts of a storm at sea before writing first drafts.
We had a session of filming clips for our digital video project and, in history, did some work about childhood in Aztec times. We used pictures taken from the Codex Mendoza to find out about the jobs that children were expected to do at different ages, the amount of food they were given and the punishments they might receive. In PE we did some athletics. Throwing the javelin, 50 m sprint and the standing long jump were the events we tried.
Today we did a special project with Mr. Harrison which we will finish this afternoon.
