4th to 7th September
We have had a good first week of the school year.
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 using extracts from The Shrinking of Treehorn as our text. 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 PE session, 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 even made a shelter out of found materials in our school grounds.
