This week in English we have been working hard on our Macavity inspired poems. The children have really enjoyed it this week and we have been overwhelmed with the number of children wanting to perform in the class. We have focused on using poetic devices such as: alliteration, onomatopoeia, repetition imagery, metaphors and similes and discussing the use of rhythm and rhyme.
We have spent lots of time on fractions this week in maths. Using our knowledge of multiples, we have found common denominators and ordered fractions from smallest to largest. Leading on from this, we have been looking at fraction / decimal equivalence and how to work it out. Next week, we will move on to addition and subtraction of fractions.
This week has been Anti-Bullying week with this year’s theme ‘Power for Good’. We have spent time discussing some potential scenarios and how the children might deal with them, both from the person’s perspective and the role of a bystander.
Our afternoons have been mostly spent script writing, prop making with some topic and RE in the mix. Magenta will catch up next week when Amethyst rehearse for their performance on Friday 21st November.
