7th to 16th September
We have had a good start to the term.
In the first few days after the holidays, we did a range of writing activities (to check up on what we had remembered and could do after our six-week break) and we also did some addition, subtraction, multiplication and division sums (starting with very easy calculations and moving to challenging ones).
One of the main units of work at the beginning of term has been our "Desert Island" topic, which has helped us think about different aspects of PSHE, including ways to help keep health, taking responsibility, making rules and making decisions in groups as well as some design activities. We enjoyed making shelters in the school garden.
In English, we have read and discussed several short books, including Dinner Ladies Don't Count by Bernard Ashley and The Hooligan's Shampoo by Philip Ridley. We have done some comprehension work and written some expanded noun phrases in the style of Philip Ridley's shopkeeper.
In addition, we have had two music sessions on the ukulele, tried some "Hour of Code" programming on the computer and started looking at some of the work on Bodil Manz in art.
