In English we have been doing some drama, imagining what life was like for Mandela when he was in Robben Island Prison for 19yrs. He spent 15 hours a day in a cell which was 7ft by 9ft. He would recite the poem ‘Invictus’ to give himself hope. We drafted and wrote our own poems, using our ‘Writer’s Voice’ to put ourselves in his shoes. This will help us when we create diary entries next week.

Today, we continued our investigation into pulse rates using a pulsilogium. To begin the lesson we worked in groups to add labels to the circulatory system - showing what we had remembered from last week. Then we worked in our groups from last week, using the pulsilogiums to match individual pulse rates. We repeated our testing at least twice and then found the average of our results before presenting the information in a bar graph. good use of this learning gemThis week we continued to practise our sewing skills. Some children completed sewing their button on to one side of felt whilst others moved on to sewing the felt together, first using a running stitch and then a back stitch. I was really impressed with the perseverance from many of the children, sticking with the sewing even when they got themselves into a pickle! Great use of these learning gems: |
