TRIMLEY ST MARTIN PRIMARY SCHOOL |
Today we used our Editing Stations to improve our own work. We visited each state to help us improve the diary entries we wrote on Tuesday. We put ourselves into the shoes of Nelson Mandela, writing a diary entry from his time on Robben Island between 1964 and 1982. It really made us think about our work and ways to improve it! Tomorrow we will be writing up our diary entires using our own (paper based) leather diaries!

We have been learning about BIDMAS and Algebra and, as it is again the end of the unit, we completed an end of unit task to show that we have mastered the concepts taught throughout the unit. This time the task was to create a poster or PowerPoint explaining how to use either BIDMAS (the order of operations) or Algebra. Yet again the results were brilliant, with everybody in class getting the chance to share their work with everyone.
In Art we have been exploring the work of the famous sculpturer and painter Alberto Giacometti, comparing his unique style with that of Henry Moore (who we looked at earlier on this term). We then made our own Giacometti style sculptures using garden wire and modroc.
Next week we will be painting the sculptures, so watch this space for the finished results! We are continuing with our Literacy work on Nelson Mandela. Our focus now is recount writing. We are focusing on the time in Mandela's life when he was held prison on the harsh prison island of Robben Island (between 1964 and 1982). We have been putting ourselves into Mandela's shoes, imagining what it was like to be him. We even have a cell marked out in the classroom to give us a visual idea of just how small his cell was! We will be writing diary entires, but firstly we have written poems and used role play to rehearse our ideas ready to write some amazing recounts.
This week we have been taking part in anti bullying week, or friendship week as we prefer to call it here at TSM. We have had visits from the NSPCC and talked about keeping ourselves safe and respecting others in PSHE. We worked in groups to make our own posters, some for Key Stage Two and some for Key Stage One. Hopefully you will spot the around the school!
In Literacy we have been learning about chronological reports. Over the last few weeks we have been planning, drafting and writing are own information books all about Nelson Mandela. We wrote our books specifically for Y4 children to read. Today we shard them with Y4 and asked them to write reviews for us. They seemed to really enjoy them and they found out so much more about Nelson Mandela. |
