4T proudly shared their learning this half term with 6K. We started by sharing our motivating and inspiring speeches about plastic pollution. We used several literary strategies, such as: imagine 3, the rule of 3, rhetorical questions and reptilian. Then, we shared our fantastic recycled artwork and asked the year 6’s to see if they could guess what we had created. After, we shared our non-chronological reports about Orcas. Finally, we tested the year 6’s on their listening with a quick quiz. We’ve invited the Year 6’s to review our performance…let’s see what they have to say…

The 23rd March, the first lockdown, will be a day for us to remember in history. To reflect on this life changing event, we took the time to meditate and be like a spring flower. We began controlling our breathing, listening to the patter of rain, imagining that we were a spring bulb in the soft, dark soil. As we listened to the rain, we started to grow shoots and reach up to the sun, stretching our bodies. This allowed us to slow down our thoughts and think about how we had all been affected, both positively and negatively.

This week, we have looked at the water cycle and how evaporation, condensation and precipitation occur. We created these models in groups to show our understanding.

4T have settled right back into class, starting the week with catching up with their friends. Throughout the week, we have started to learn about decimals (tenths and hundredths) and planning/writing a motivating speech about plastic pollution. We finished off the week, with a music with Mr Mercer and are looking forward to being back on Monday!
