7th and 8th June
We have continued our work on Kensuke's Kingdom, writing character studies of Michael's (the main character's) father. We have also completed a chart listing the changes that occurred in the family's life after the parents received their redundancy notices.
Also, we have continued our history work on the Aztecs by writing up our ideas about life in Aztec times, derived from studying a picture and then learning something Aztec writing.
In music we have used Compose World again to create short pieces of music that we have then created lyrics to fit the music, making sure that the syllables matched the notes/rhythm well.
We have begun thinking about the games we are going to make for the school summer fair a week tomorrow and, this afternoon, we have had another go at the aboriginal art that we first tried during Arts Week just before half-term.
