6th to 10th July

We have continued our fiction work in English, completing our Grandpa Chatterji activities by watching a television adaptation and comparing this with the book. We have read the start of The Wind in the Willows and compared this with an animated film adaptation. We have thought about how the film-makers communicate the ideas presented in the book using settings (backdrops, scenery and props). action, music, lighting and dialogue. We have also written a poem about the river based on Kenneth Grahame's descriptive passage. Our maths has focussed on coordinates, reflection and translation and we have also done some more work on reading and using timetables.

We have spent some more time on our automata, and many of these are now nearly completed, with working figures and a decorative panel. In geography, we thought some more about tourism in the Lake District, using information from graphs and data tables as well as text from surveys carried out in the area to answer questions. We also had a special history session in which we worked in groups to research an aspect of ancient Greek life using a range of reference material.

Next week we have an Open Day on Monday.
