19th to 20th June
Today has been an INSET day for the teachers. School re-opens on Monday.
On Thursday we wrote an account of the experience of being in a storm at sea. We imagined that we were Michael (from Kensuke's Kingdom) and used the notes that we had made the day before to write a dramatic description including some figurative language (and, if possible, some personification).
We had two lessons of Design Technology. In the first, we developed our chosen fairground ride design and later made a version of these using K'NEX. These prototypes helped us to ensure that our designs would actually work. We photographed these models before dismantling them. We finished the day with a music lesson.
