Wow – our first week back at school is already over!
This week has been super busy, beginning with our new text in literacy called ‘Tuesday’ by David Wiesner. We were quite surprised when we realised it was a picture book but had a great lesson exploring it, making predictions and discussing each scene.
In History we were learning about a man called Al Khwarizmi from Baghdad AD900, who has had a great influence on society today, particularly in maths with algebra and algorithms. We had a discussion about algorithms and how life today would be different without them before making our own. Our task was to program Mrs Hartwell (our robot) into making jam sandwiches – if we accomplished the task, we got to eat the sandwich! I think it’s safe to say that none of us received the sandwich we had in mind – some of us never received one at all! It was really fun to learn how specific each instruction had to be so that the robot did not malfunction.
We have also been doing some practice SATs this week to see how much we have already learned and what areas we still need more practice on.
On Thursday, most of us had our first cycling proficiency lesson which went down really well! We also were very excited for the return of Mr Evans for our Ukulele lesson – we were very happy to hear his shout out to us on the radio on Christmas Eve!
The choir have also been busy rehearsing for the Young Voices concert next Thursday evening, we hope to see you there!
