With the end of the term insight, there is still so much fantastic learning happening as we begin to wind down, ready for some end of term fun.
We also welcomed another new student to our class; Bernardo came for a visit on Thursday and had his first full day on Friday. The class were very excited, very welcoming, and everyone was super helpful.
In English, we will spend the last two weeks looking at poetry with a focus on list poems and poetic devices. To start this as a class we created a list poem about school. We played a quick game of word association and then the children could choose their favourite word and then add to it to turn it into a line for our poem. I asked them to order themselves, we then read it aloud and changed the order to improve our poem. Also, the students spend some time exploring Kennings poems. They explored the features of these and had fun creating their own about an animal.
In IPC, the students spent the week working on their Exit Point. In pairs, they choose an area that we covered in this unit so that they could create an interactive model so that they can explain what they have learnt to other classes next week.
For maths the students got to grips with some geometry, focussing on position and direction. The students solved problems involving coordinates, translation and reflection. Next week, we will spend a bit of time on angles as well as reviewing everything we have learnt this term.
That’s all for this week, have a great weekend everyone.
