I found the quote above, by Maximilian Kolbe, extremely appropriate this week. Having revived our ‘positive post’, it has been so lovely to hear of all of the thoughtful and selfless things the class have been doing for each other. Positive post is a chance for the class to acknowledge any positive actions or words other people in the class have shown, and they always have so many to share, at the end of the day-what a good sign! They have been showing how strong their friendships are, and it has been so lovely to hear how much they appreciate each other. They really are there to support and care for each other-it is incredibly heartwarming.
Now let’s see what we’ve been up to this week….
In Maths, we have continued with multiplication, but have stepped it up a notch, by multiplying 4-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers. Many of us have mastered this, but there are some of us that will continue to practice this written method (starting with our IXL homework!).
In English, we have continued with our guided write. I am so impressed with the class contributions to our shared write, and together, they are producing high quality pieces of writing. When I have been marking their own work, I have been so pleased with their choices of language, and the effective use of relative clauses. Punctuation is an on going target, as many of us need to ensure we are more consistent with this.
In Science, we followed up our investigation, from last week, with our conclusion, using scientific explanations. We now know why I heart rate is higher after more strenuous exercise-ask us!
In RE, we continued reflecting on the actions of Maximilian Kolbe, which led us to reflect on our own actions too. We have also been praying a decade of the rosary each day this week, in our shared worship. Each day we focused on a different joyful mystery, as well as considering our own personal prayer intentions.
In History, we have continued our research into the Battle of Britain.
In computing, we were looking at online privacy. We discussed what information we should keep private, and how to tell if a website is secure or not. We also know where to go to find each website’s privacy policy.
In Sports4Champions we did some fruit tasting…
