16th to 18th June
Following our Summer Fair last Saturday, we helped our Infant School with their Summer Fair today! We helped run the games and some of the stalls.
In class we have had PE (twice), playing rounders on Monday and practicing our throwing and catching. We have continued with the making of our music video in ICT, editing and inserting clips from the videos that we filmed last week. We have also continued planning our fairground rides in DT, drawing a series of possible designs before we select the best one.
In English we have begun a unit of work on writing dramatic descriptions. Our main writing will be a description of a storm affecting the Peggy Sue - the boat in Kensuke's Kingdom. We studied a good description from The Wind in the Willows and then listened to sound effects of a storm and watched videos of a ship being battered by storm conditions. Then we made some notes ready for our writing after discussing ways of using figurative language to enhance our descriptions.
