On Thursday families came in to school to celebrate World Book Day. Our focus was to celebrate Shakespeare and predominantly Romeo and Juliet. Families enjoyed joining in with many activities, such as painting and making roses, creating story maps of the text, decorating masquerade masks and writing love letters to send between Romeo and Juliet. Learners are really enjoying getting to know the plot ad characters in the text and identifying the rivalry between the Capulets and the Montagues.
In computers we have been considering face-to-face and online bullying and thought carefully about how to be kind to our friends and how to keep ourselves safe. This is a really vital discussion, which was held with great maturity.
In PE, Learners are focusing on hockey skills. In this week’s session with Hawkes Sports we focused on balancing and movement and enjoyed some fun games to improve our skills.
In Science, we have been busy watering our newly planted seeds and are delighted to see some shoots sprouting already.
In Geography, we have been watching the weather all week and have really enjoyed watching the daily weather report. We were interested to find out about the job of a meteorologist and have enjoyed completing our own weekly weather chart too, paying attention to the temperature and wind direction.
In RE, we have been learning more about the Easter Story. We thought carefully about the different feelings and emotions we had during different parts of the story. Learners articulated their feelings wonderfully and this prompted a very meaningful discussion.
We ended the week dressing up for World Book Day, we shared lots of our favourite stories and talked about our favourite books and authors.
A busy week of learning as always in Learners Class.
