More practical experiments in science, this time using glitter gel to represent a sneeze, has helped us to understand how easy it is for germs to spread. As there have been quite a few children falling ill lately, we thought it rather pertinent to be studying this!
This week, as part of PHSE, we have been creating short drama sketches about peer pressure. Focussing on a certain scenario (a friend trying to persuade you to leave out another friend, whom you like), each group came up with some amazing sketches, and learnt a lot along the way!
Literacy sessions have been focussing on speech punctuation, with a particularly fun and effective session using clips from BBC's Animal Kingdom. I must say that the class were particularly good in role as mice, monitor lizards and shrews!
Literacy homework will be set next week, and be child specific and relating to their individual writing targets. In the meantime, they can be working on their Topic work.
In maths, I have been very impressed with students' knowledge of fractions and percentages. Homework is differentiated and must be handed in next Friday. Students have been advised to have a look at it over the weekend, and to attend Tuesday's 'Maths Surgery' at lunchtime, if they need assistance.
