Dear all,

And yet another week has just flown by! I know I wasn’t with you for a couple of the days this week but I am pleased to see that you still completed some good leaning in my absence which has meant that we have got everything done that we needed to.

In English next week, we will be finishing off Kensuke’s Kingdom by completing written comprehension tasks, writing Haiku poems, and writing a precis of the text.

In maths, we will be finishing off our unit on algebra by solving equations with up to 2 steps and solving problems involving everything that you have learnt within the unit.

In science, you will be finding out about the impact of smoking and vaping on your health.

In history, we will be finding out about royal burials in the Shang Dynasty.

In computing, linked to history, you will be continuing with your publications on the Shang dynasty.

In art, you will use clay to make your oracle bones sculptures.

Homework is found in your CGP Non-Fiction book on pages 29, 30 and 31 or on the sheets if you have been given them. This is once again due to be returned on Monday. In addition to this, I would like you to play Sumdog as much as you can this weekend (and until next Thursday). As I sit here and type, our class is at the top of the league table and 7 of you are in the top ten so let’s all work together to try and keep us up there!

Have a great weekend

Mr Gradwell
