This week, we have had lots of fun using mod roc and painting our volcano models. We worked together, using teamwork and communication skills, to cover our structures with mod roc. Once finished, we evaluated our volcano models. We thought about what we were pleased with, how we could improve our models and what we would recommend for others completing the same activity.

In English, we have continued reading the story of ‘The Firework Maker’s Daughter’ By Philip Pullman. We wrote a letter in role as Lila to Lalchand, to let him know that she was going on a journey to find the Royal Sulphur from Mount Merapi.

We have been practising the ‘sure’ sound in spelling. Children have worked incredibly hard to learn their spelling both in school and at home. We had so many super spellers this week!

We ended the week with our REAL time. We have been having conversations in British Sign Language this week; asking friends what their name is in, answering and if we couldn’t see clearly were even asking our partner to slow down and repeat the spelling! We learned the signs for ‘well done’ and how to clap in BSL.
