Weekly Update-26/5/23

Hello everyone,
This week, the children published their setting description writing, which revolved around describing a cave and this links in with our current book, Stone Age Boy. They produced some super work which included a range of features such as personification, expanded noun phrases, fronted adverbials, similes and metaphors. When reading their pieces, I could definitely picture the cave in my mind based on their detailed description. Well done!
We have completed our class reader (Stone Age Boy) and the children did some fantastic inference work based on on how different characters feel at different points in the story and they have also created their own blurb and alternative front covers, which are designed to persuade other children to read Stone Age Boy.
In science, the children were helping a band find out which material is the most soundproof. They were using a decibel meter to record the noise made without any material around it and then they recorded the reduction in noise after placing different materials around the source of the noise. The results were very interesting and we had a nice discussion as to why that was the case.
In PSHE, we have just finished our topic for this half term, which was all about Being My Best. To finish off the topic, the children made posters all about themselves and all the different things required to help them be at their best e.g. a good amount of sleep, healthy eating and lots of exercise.
In DT, as part of our Edible Garden topic, the children created their own strawberry smoothies this week, They worked very in their groups, communicating well and sharing the jobs between each other.
I hope you all have a lovely week off and make sure to stay safe.
Mr Kyriacou :)
