Our English unit on persuasion links to our previous work in History on Nelson Mandela. Our task was to write a persuasive speech as if we were members of the ANC. Then we wrote our own persuasive speeches and performed them to the class!

Our finished pots!Good use of these Learning Gems:Good use of these Learning Gems:This week, the children worked in groups to research and present information about an invertebrate group. The groups were then able to look at each of the different presentations, answering questions about them as they went. Great use of these learning gems:We started our first science lesson back, last week, by looking at some of the vocabulary we were expected to know and use during this topic. The children were asked to sort the vocabulary in any way they wanted: some chose to sort them in to words they knew and didn't know; others sorted them into words that were to do with animals, those to do with plants and other words. At the start of our second lesson we played ARTICULATE, where the children needed to describe one of the key vocabulary without saying certain words. They found it really difficult but, after some thought, they were actually very good at choosing precise words to help the rest of the children work out what word was! During the first lesson, the children were split into groups. Each child was expected to research one of the vertebrate groups and then report back to the rest of their group so, by the end of the lesson, everyone had learnt about some of the characteristics of all of the vertebrate groups as well as some animals that fit into them. To present their work, the children then produced exploding books. great use of these learning gems:During our lesson today, we played a game involving finding factors and multiples. It was great to see the children being confident in using these words and being able to find both factors and multiples of numbers. They had lots of fun trying to force their partner to lose by choosing a number that there were no more factors and multiples left on the game board! good use of this learning gem: |
