In English this week, we have practised writing in the present perfect continuous tense and brushed up on our use of the passive voice. Towards the end of the week, we put this into practice and have written newspaper reports about the exciting Mayan Pok-a-Tok battle between Pik and the rain god – Chac in our picture book, Rain Player, that we have been reading.
In Science, following on from our work on the circulatory system, linking with our core text of Pig Heart Boy, we dissected lamb hearts. It was a fascinating lesson, with most children keen to explore and understand more about this incredible organ. The children followed instructions to dissect the heart and identify the different atria and ventricles and some even spotted the chordae tendineae – more commonly known as the heart strings. Please enjoy some of the photos below.
In Music, we have been learning about the blues and from next week we will be writing our own blues songs to perform next term in the class assemblies.
