Another jam-packed and amazing week in Class Lewis for both learning and achievements!

This week in PSHE, we continued our learning of relationships and extended it into gaming communities. The children were given a handful of statements and had to decide whether they were safe, unsafe or not sure. We then took a quiz on age restrictions and then discussed why we had age restrictions, why they are important and ways we can stay responsible and safe both online and on phones.

In Maths, we finished our topic of perimeter and area. We consolidated our understanding of the area of rectangles, compound shapes and estimated area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In English, we continued our creative writing unit on Oliver Twist. We analysed the two contrasting characters of Oliver (a character who is naive, vulnerable and a victim) with Mr Bumble (a villain with no morals and who is corrupt). We generated words and phrases to describe Victorian London using our 5 senses, identified the features of a narrative - using drama to rehearse the introduction, build-up and climax of the first two chapters of Oliver Twist, and finally used subordinate clauses, subject and verb and parenthesis to create sentences to describe the setting and characters! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Science, we continued our learning of Astronomy and learnt what orbiting is. We discovered that orbiting is moving and the Moon orbits the Earth every month and the Earth orbits the Sun every year!

In Art, we focused on screen-printing through Andy Warhol's Pop Art. The children created their own stencils ready to make their own screen prints next week.

In computing, we continued our learning of databases through using computer-based and paper databases to find information. We then compared both, finding advantages and disadvantages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Spanish, we found even more food and drink to eat in the cafeteria - yum!

In RE, we continued our worldview of Judaism. This week we focused on Shabbat and the importance of this day of rest. We learnt about the 5 main Jewish communities and compared Shabbat for the Orthodox and Reform Jews. 

In History, we continue our learning of the Victorians through industrialisation and the impact urbanisation had. We looked locally at the Norwich slums and wrote about how life would have been for them, including the lack of sanitation, the migration to cities and the spread of diseases such as cholera!

In PE, we continued cricket with the ICS coaches, and we enjoyed Dance with Mrs Whybourn!
