Last term, as part of our Real Project, we looked at plastic pollution, within this we looked at how human impact is causing devastating effects on the environment and its impact on marine and wild life.
Our learning question was “Can we go plastic free?”
In English, we looked at persuasive techniques and extremes words to make our writing more powerful and have a bigger impact on the reader. We then used what we had learnt and wrote a persuasive letter to Miss Bunn, to suggest changes that we could make here at school. Some of these suggestions were to use tin foil (which can be recycled) instead of using cling film and to move away from single use plastic.
In Science, we looked at circuits and symbols. We learnt how to draw circuits scientifically, using a ruler and the correct symbols and then we put this into practice and used wires, bulbs, battery packs and switches and experimented with different ways to see if we could get the bulb brighter.
In Maths, we studied Algebra. We look at nth terms, expressions and substitutions
In Religious Studies, we studied Islam. We learnt about the belief in one God, Allah. We also looked at the Five Pillars of Islam, and how Muslims put this into practice on a daily basis and show their respect of Allah.
This term, we will be studying a famous book by Roald Dahl!
Here is a quote from the book:
“George didn't say a word. He felt quite trembly. He knew something tremendous had taken place that morning. For a few brief moments he had touched with the very tips of his fingers the edge of a magic world.”
Do you know which book we will be studying?
