3rd to 5th October
Today was an INSET day, so the children were not at school - just the teachers, who were checking, sorting and tidying resources for the different curriculum areas - and throwing away some old, unwanted materials and furniture.
We had our Harvest Festival on Wednesday morning, which was a very good occasion. In the afternoon we did some more maths on shape and did further work on our story. In this session, we discussed the climax of a story and how to change the pace of the narrative for the reader, then we wrote the climaxes for our own stories.
Yesterday we did some poetry work in English. We talked about simile, metaphor, alliteration and personification and then wrote simple, structured poems about animals. We also had our swimming lesson, spelling and tables tests and sorted out the homework before INSET day.
