Dear all,

 

So here we are at the end of another week already. I don’t want to complain about this lovely weather that we are having, but it does make for a warm, muggy classroom which can be hard to fully concentrate in, so I am glad that we are now at the weekend and can enjoy the sunshine.

On Tuesday morning next week, we will be going to Christ Church for a workshop to support your Transition to secondary school.

 

In English next week, we will continue with The Girl of Ink and Stars by using written persuasive techniques and retrieving and summarising details from the text.

 

In maths next week, we will be focusing on some further algebra before completing the ‘Apprentice’ project as you compete with your businesses on Friday afternoon. Please ensure that you have most if not all of the items purchased this weekend and that you bring them in by Thursday. As also mentioned in last week’s blog, please could you ask your families to provide a ‘float’ that you can use to give change on the day; this can be brought in on Friday and will be returned in full at the end of the project. It must be recorded by the treasurer and checked with Mrs Friedmann or me when you bring it in –do not leave it in your bag!

 

In science, you will be researching why and how living things adapt to their environment and also learning about the theory of natural selection.

In geography, you will be looking at further energy sources around the world.

I have not sent home any formal homework this week but I would like you all to be learning your lines so that you can start rehearsing in class without needing to use the script.

 

Have a good weekend.

 

Mr Gradwell
