“On Monday, we did a practice of our leaver’s play: Macbeth. It was the performant of the hurly burly; we had a phase where we face each other (not really) a battle cry (we didn’t make noise) and three clash-of-attacks where only eight people of the class survived at the last clash. At 12:00 cycling people had their lunch early and some stayed in for it and some stayed out for it.
Tuesday was another practice run of the hurly burly in Macbeth. It was the same really. We had lunch after and it was just a normal afternoon PPA with French PE and PSHCE. It was also purple learning week so we did make a purple learning triangle that showed others what we enjoyed what we wanted to do more what we struggled on and what we improved on. Just a normal day.
On Wednesday, we started an investigation about how many dolly steps it would take to walk across one of the side’s in the classroom. We had to do estimates about how many tables it would take to measure one side of our classroom. But one important thing was that we had to draw around our feet then measure the length and the width. And there were a whole range of opinions on which method to use on finding our estimates. And we began our plan to answer the question: Is this a good start to a play? (Macbeth by William Shakespeare). After lunch was another investigation about natural selection. Is it like a fact or a theory after watching the 9 minute video? It is your opinion so there is no correct answer. Amelia Hughes
Cycling proficiency
On Thursday, we continued to practice our turns at junctions and looking for other road-users and remembered our ABCD-Air (for the tyres) Brakes, Chain and Drop (To check that everything was attached correctly)-when we were preparing to go. We were also taught how to do right turns. James Andrews
Maths
We are developing our skills of gathering and collating data, with the end result of being able to present our information in a clear and well explained format.
Literacy
Having looked at the first few scenes of Shakespeare’s Macbeth we were able to answer a question on our opinion of the start to this play.
Science
How species have evolved by the results of Natural Selection and Common Descent through studying the Ambulocetus (when whales had legs).
Overall, we are preparing ourselves and our work to become Year 7s by considering “Am I using my time effectively?” & “How professional am I?”
