Posted: Mar 18, 2017 by: Teachers (BishopTeachers) on: What's been happening in Discoverers & Voyagers.
Discoverers and Voyagers had a very traumatic start to the week having received a letter from a Mr Boggington informing the children of his plans to build a pickled onion factory on the school field! As you can imagine, the children were outraged and had many valid reasons against Mr Boggington's proposals. Children worked effectively together to write letters to persuade Mr Boggington to reconsider his plans. The children did such a fantastic job. Even Mr Boggington was impressed! As a result, you will be pleased to hear that there will be no pickled onion factory built on the school site! Children have applied what they have learned to create persuasive letters on a topic of their choice. We look forward to reading the results.
In Maths, we have begun a sequence on shape. We have had lots of fun consolidating our understanding of triangles and angle types and have extended our knowledge of types of line. We look forward to continuing this week.
In Science, we had fun classifying animals, looking particularly at dichotomous keys. We started with the 'yes', 'no' game and then created our own questions to help identify a variety of different animals.
Monday of next week will allow us to share all that we have been doing this past term. We look forward to seeing you.
