To celebrate the end of our ´World War Two´ topic, we had a VE Day party. We made bunting, hats and flags and ate jam sandwiches and played various games from the 1940´s.

This week we have been turning a book into a playscript. We worked in small groups and practised using playscript features to turn ´The Tunnel´ into a playscript.

We were given a crate of oranges from Mrs Sabanowski and had to estimate how big the orange tree was, how heavy the wheelbarrow was and how much orange juice we could make from the oranges. We then juiced the oranges to work out how much we made.

From one crate, we made 3.65 liters of orange juice.

Who thinks we should make another video like this one from last year?

Today, pupils used their work on Subject-Verb agreement and features of debates to create a debate for and against school uniform. 

Once they had some ideas on paper, we debate them using our speaking and listening skills.

We watched a video about how people felt during the Evacuation and hot seated pupils to pretend they were the person in the video. 

Today, we pretended that we had been evacuated from the city. We all had characters to play and we had to discuss how we felt being evacuated and living with our host families. 

Today, pupils in my class practised subject-verb agreement. They had to read a discussion text and find the mistakes (e.g. There is going...). They also played a game called quiz-quiz-trade to check their understanding. 

Use this document to find out the answers to the homework. If you are incorrect, use a coloured pencil to correct your answer and find out why your answer was different. 

Today we were looking at how sometimes using a calculator is not always as useful. For example, 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 is 1 whole BUT if you complete this using decimals, it is 0.3+0.3+0.3 which is 0.9. This is called a rounding error. We used calculators to find patterns about this and used this information to create questions and checked them by playing quiz-quiz-trade.

This week we have made some pictures themed on the Blitz
