8th to 12th December
This was the week of our Christmas production and all the Year 5 and 6 singers and the Year 6 actors gave us some fantastic performances in our show, based on the Charles Dickens' novel A Christmas Carol.
The performances took some of our time this week, but we also made good progress in our technology project. Most of us are quite close to finishing our woven panels and we started a new section of our project. This is about designing and making bodkins. We began by looking at a few commercially produced bodkins and listed some of the key features of these before thinking of what we could make some bodkins out of. Then we created some designs of our own. Next week we will make and test these.
In RE, we studied the Christingle. We looked at pictures and three different descriptions/explanations of the symbolism of these before creating our own drawings of these and annotating them with the object, what is represents and what it reminds Christians of.
Our English work continued our instruction writing (doing further work on our weaving frame instruction text and writing or improving a text giving instructions to make a jam sandwich) while our maths included work on measuring and calculating perimeters and our end of term maths test.
