This week we have been getting ready to celebrate our learning with year 6 (outside and keeping bubbles separate through social distancing). Some children will be giving speeches as part of our celebration, to raise the issue of plastic pollution in the oceans, with the wider community. Take a sneak peak at Shi Ying practising her speech… We have been focusing on projecting our voice so that our audience will be able to hear us and being expressive when we read to maintain the listener’s interest.

We have worked really hard this half term to become positive advocates for change! We have focused our efforts into the issue of plastic pollution. Here is a sample of some of our published work, we’ve been trying so hard with our cursive joined up handwriting. Our handwriting lessons are definitely helping us! Hopefully you feel inspired reading our speeches and can make some small changes to your lifestyle that the children in 4M have suggested.

What a fantastic first week we have had back in school. Here’s some photos of our first day back at school where we played a variety of board games. Board games are great for socialisation, communications skills, turn taking, developing listening skills and collaboration skills to name just a few of the benefits! This was a great ice breaker activity and gave the children a chance to play with their friends whilst learning lots of important skills in the process!
