4th to 6th June
With a new half-term beginning, we have started new units of work in several areas of the curriculum.
In English, we have been looking at chapter 1 of the Michael Morpurgo novel, Kensuke's Kingdom. (This is the book for our Year 6/7 transition unit.) Having read the first chapter, we have been doing some work on the characters including text marking and note making. In maths, we have been thinking about scale drawing. This has involved drawing diagrams at different scales and interpreting scale drawings.
We have spent some time on art/technology activities including some "sculpture" work using strips of card and, today, our challenge was to create the tallest, self supporting tower using a piece of 8 x 8 cm card. (The best ones were over 40 cm high.)
