2nd to 4th December
On Wednesday, we had a special geography day with as series of different geography lessons. We learned about 6-figure grid references on maps and we did some research about Christmas celebrations in different countries of the world. We have also had a session of orienteering. We did one activity indoors which involved orienting a map and finding a series of different locations as fast as possible. Then we learned how to use a compass to work out directions. After this, we tried following directions from one place to another and had to try to reach the correct final destination.
Our English and maths work has been quite varied, with a little report writing as well as story writing in English and work on calculations and perimeters in maths. We have made more headway with our weaving and begun the design process for making additional bodkins for our work. We have done this by first analysing the bodkins school had purchased, identifying their key features. Then we thought about what we could use to make our bodkins from and did some drawings to show some different design ideas.
