5th to 9th December
The main excitement of the week has been actually starting to make our woven panels in technology. After finally finishing the frame and "warping up", we began weaving and some have begun the more intricate part of making the picture (which could require up to five bodkins per line).
In English we have been learning and thinking about planning stories. We have looked at plotting a story and have now started to write a simple children's story, beginning the with opening before starting to write the events which build up the plot and lead towards the climax. Much of our maths has been concerned with time - telling the time using the 12 and 24 hour clocks and solving problems to do with elapsed time.
This afternoon we had a complete run-through of our Christmas production.
