Friday 2nd May
This week we have launched our exciting Young Leader's Project. The children explored what it truly mean to be a leader and reflected on the message: 'Be the change you want to see.' They were challenged to think about one thing they would change in the world if they could. We had very interesting discussions around the qualities of good and bad leadership, using the story of the Good Samaritan to highlight the importance of compassion and serving others. The children have all taken home a copy of Archie's Challenge Grid, which encourages them to take small actions that can make a difference in their community. We'd love to see photos of what the children have been up to- please send them on Dojo and we will share with the class.
In English, we've been exploring our model text, Into The Unknown which is a survival narrative about an explorer who ventures into the jungle. The children have been writing character and setting descriptions applying what they have learnt in our Sentence Accuracy work to make their writing interesting.
In Maths, we have been developing our protractor skills, learning how to accurately measure angles. We then moved onto calculating angles around a point and a straight line. We have been very impressed with their focus and perseverance during these lessons!
We are really looking forward to welcoming you on Tuesday for our learning exhibition where the children will what we have been working on.
Have a wonderful weekend!
