Over the past couple of Expedition lessons, Class 7 have been historians and researching Martin Luther King and the impact he had on other people’s lives. We worked together to find the key information and then wrote our very own fact file!
Today, Class 7 have been looking into their new text ‘Let the Children March’. We learnt about what children had to face, growing up in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963. We then worked together to critique the images!
Thank you to Mr Kershaw for giving us a demonstration of the Great Fire of London using our very own houses that we built. We loved it!
Today, Class 7 had 2 special visitors. One was Thomas Fariner telling us about how and why the Great Fire of London started. The second was Samuel Pepys telling us about what he had written in his diary during this great, historical event. Both let us make freeze frames from the event and we even sang nursery rhymes as well. We loved it!
Today, Class 7 have been researching about the Great Fire of London, using a range of fact files as our sources of information. We have been working together to read and then find the important information ready to add to our own fact files! I was very impressed with the facts and the effort put in Class 7, keep it up! 🙂
Today, Class 7 have been learning about the houses that were built during the 1600s. We learned about how the Great Fire of London started and how the fire brigade has changed since this time!
We then started creating our own box model houses that will then make up our very own London!
On day 3, Class 7 learned about Martin Luther King jr and the impact he had on his community. We were inspired to write down the hopes and dreams we have for own community, for ourselves and those we care about!
On day 4, we dressed up as super heroes. We drew our heroes and we made the heroes that help us in our local community!
Here are the heroes of Class 7!
We have been making placards over the last couple of days to stand up for what we think is right!
Today, we have been building our own houses that look like those from London in 1666, as we are hooked into the Great Fire of London!
What a lovely start to the day we had by singing our songs down Finkle Street and then handing out the key rings that we made. We even handed out our key rings to make people smile!
We then visited a local care home and sang songs, before handing out our cards to the residents!
Finally, we ended the day by having our water fun activities!
What a lovely morning we had completing an orienteering course where we got to run around the KS2 playground in search of different points!
We then were lucky to be able to visit Camp Green Top that Mr Kershaw put on for us. We read in tents, made musical instruments and toasted marshmallows with Mr Kershaw!
Here we are reading and making instruments!
We ended the day by litter picking within the community!
