In Year 5 we have been learning about the dangers of drugs and this week we have been learning the affects that alcohol has on our bodies. The children began with developing their understanding of acohol. In discussion, we looked at the short long term and long term effects alcohol has on our bodies. It was great to see that the children took the discussions very seriously and were very mature with their responses. Well done Year 5.

We have been extremely creative in our English lessons this week. We have been mini authors and have all written our own stories for Wendel to read for his bed time story.
We used our creativity as we invented our own character robot for Wendel last week and then have thought about the adventure they would go on together. We then used our imaginations and drafted our own stories, edited them and chose how to present our polished piece. Some of us used our iPad skills and used different apps like KeyNote, Pages or Notes and some of us chose to create our own zig zag books or story sheets.
The teachers as so proud of all the amazing ideas your children have thought about this week! Well Done Class 6!

The children in Learning Base 2 have been learning about weight this week.
The children held 2 different objects and to compare the weights saying which was the heaviest and which was the lightest.
The children compared lots of different objects. They then used balance scales to check if they were right.
They then weighed the different objects by placing on one side of the scales and placing cubes on the other side to balance it.
They counted how much each object weighed.

Later in the week, we wrote Toad’s dairy entry where he explains his version of events. Year 5 did a great job with using emotive language and fronted adverbials.
