Good afternoon,

If you were unable to attend last week’s SATs meeting, here is the Powerpoint that was shared:

Thanks and have a lovely Easter,

Mr Walker

This week has been another fantastic week in class 10!

In English, we have started to look at a new text ‘The Happy Hedgerow’. The story is a moral tale, with a message about taking care of our environment and the impact it has when we do not do this. We have taken part in a number of drama activities to help us understand the characters and their relationships and the plot. We are working towards writing our own moral tale this half term.

In geography, we are focusing on the United Kingdom. So far, we have learnt that the UK is made up of 12 regions, which we can name and locate on a map. We have also learnt the names and locations of several UK counties and cities. This week, we focused on the 8 point of a compass. We learnt that there are 4 cardinal points (N, S, E and W) and 4 ordinal points (NE, NW. SE and SW). We worked in pairs to give, and follow, instructions to locate landmarks at different points on the playground.

In RE, we are learning about what difference the resurrection makes Christians. We recorded evidence from gospel passages which prove Jesus’ resurrection and wrote witness statements from the perspective of Mary and the Disciples.

We hope you all enjoyed the snow while it lasted and have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Duncan and Mr Walker

This week, Class 10 have another fantastic week!

In English, we have been focusing on journalistic writing and, in particular, writing with a balanced perspective. This means that journalists should include multiple, balanced perspectives to avoid bias. We learnt that one way that we can present two opposing perspectives in one sentence is to use the ‘Some; others’ sentence in our writing.

In RE, we shared a Hindu story and discussed the possible meanings behind some of the events. We then learnt what the actual meanings were and compared them with our own ideas.

In PE, we played dodgeball in the hall. This is one of our absolute favourite team games and things can get quite competitive!

Well done for another fantastic week Class 10.

Mrs Duncan, Mr Walker and Mr Creber
