7th to 10th September
We have had a good start to the school year this week.
In English, we have studied the characters and how someone's actions show their mood and personality the the story Dinner Ladies Don't Count by Bernard Ashley. We have done some fiction and some non-fiction writing arising out of the plot of this story and we have also done some comprehension work. Our maths has focused on revising arithmetic methods, making sure that we have remembered these processes after the long holiday.
In addition to fitting in a couple of PE sessions, our main "topic" for the week has been based around the idea of survival on a desert island. We have thought about what we would need to stay alive and how we could ensure we had water, food and warmth. We have designed and drawn shelters and designed and made (using k'NEX) segmented creatures that could be found in the forest on the island.
