I have not got enough praise for the writing that Class 11 have produced. This was the start and I know that it will only get better! We completed the first part of our setting description and applied our knowledge of expanded noun phrases. We created lovely descriptions to describe the farm.
Nope, it’s not those type of weights! We’ve been getting to understand how different objects have a different mass. We used weighing scales to be able to see this and we used our vocabulary of lighter, heavier and mass to gain more confidence with this. Check out how we got on below!
Today, Class 11 have been exploring different features of narrative writing. We looked at a story about a Flood. We have been looking closely at features like fronted adverbials, conjunctions and what actually makes a great story. This included a setting description at the start to set the scene, a problem that happens in the middle and a resolution (we hope) at the end. What impressed me more though was Class 11s collaboration together. They found so many features and just cracked on with the job.
Case Study 1. This ranged from rocks, tectonic plates and earthquakes. We showed such amazing knowledge and resilience to keep going this morning. Check out some of the fantastic work!
We then completed some work on perimeter, which we have become really confident with. Although it was tricky to start off with, we did not let that put us off, worked a little harder at it and the work has been excellent. We drew our own shapes, measured them and then worked out the perimeter. This shows just how far the confidence of EVERYONE has come on.
Unfortunately, the pictures aren’t uploading, so I will try to figure this out.
However, it’s still worth the blog as it was agreed we couldn’t pick only one person for the post card. We made the decision that everyone in Class 11 could earn it for their fantastic Friday. Have a happy, safe and enjoyable week off – you have been amazing these past few weeks especially. Keep it up and enjoy the sun! 😆
Well done to the LKS2 our out of this world and HoWL winners for this week!
We don’t know if you’re aware, but there was an eruption close to Green Top and we had to make sure that we could escape safely from the area. Luckily, we all just about managed to complete the challenging clues and evacuate from the eruption area.
In all seriousness, it was a lovely morning filled with so many smiling faces and not just the children. Thank you to everyone who could make it and for making it a really lovely morning!
Well, it is fair to say that Class 11 loved their trip to Magna today. They got to experience making their own volcano, as well as helping to make it erupt. They used lots of team work, great vocabulary and determination to make sure that the eruption was large.
We then ventured around the Magna Centre to look at other areas, such as the air and fire floors. This literally blew our mind and we enjoyed watching the fire tornado and seeing how that worked.
After a quick spot of lunch and play in the park, Class 11 then went to explore more of the centre, looking at the Earth floor, where we got to try and gather rock and drive diggers (don’t worry, we were in charge of sorting the digging out!) to help collect more rocks. Finally, we finished off in the water area and this was by far our favourite. We got to squirt water guns, drive boats and some of us even experienced a storm on the way!
Class 11 absolutely loved their day at the Magna Centre and have even asked if we can visit again. Hopefully you have heard lots of great stories from them! Thank you as well to the parents that helped out, it definitely made it easier and more settled! 😆
Today, Class 11 have been celebrating the coronation, with some maths linked work which related to our new knowledge of parallel lines and perpendicular lines. We were tasked with working out how many of these lines the Union Jack has. Then, we wrote letters to King Charles III to say what we want to do during the big help, which included raising awareness for sports, recycling and helping charities that included the poor and animals. Enjoy the celebrations!
This morning, Class 11 worked superbly well together so that they could find and then understand the features of a newspaper report, in preparation for our next set of writing. We looked into headlines, fronted adverbials and how we need to use facts to get the true story out there. We’ll be practising this in the coming days, especially the 5Ws when it comes to writing introductions!
