Base 5

And... relax!

What a busy week this has been- and we have thoroughly enjoyed it. Reading week has been great fun; from downing tools when the school bell went for a 20 minute read to playing front- cover charades! We have enjoyed our book swap and loved dressing up for world book day and on top of this we have also enjoyed our usual class book club- reading our books and enjoying lunch together.

This week we have also been designing and writing about our own sea-cities, like New Mungo in our story. The children have created some very impressive drawings and even more impressive description;

"Vengeful and relentless, the ocean grabs and claws at the camp, seeking its revenge on the tired, helpless people."
{
"There it was, the heart of this nightmare; an immense semi-transparent cylindrical tower." }

{"Boats continuously rock from side to side, a repetitive motion that only confirms he despair of the people."
}

In maths we have been investigating and exploring area perimeter, looking at how these link (and maybe when they don't) and what formula is needed to find the area of a range of different shapes.

As well as this, we have been history detectives, using a range of books, artefacts and sources to create theories and ideas about the Stone Age and Stonehenge- something the children really enjoyed.

In French this week the children tackled a complicated French reading text- Madame Sharpe was super impressed with them and said that their approach to this was simply 'outstanding'- well done Base 5.

So, relax and enjoy the weekend ahead of you.
