History L.O. I can sequence the events of Captain Scott’s expedition to the South Pole and identify the turning points in his journey

 We looked at some artefacts that were similar to those used by captain Scott and his colleagues on their expedition in 1912. We realised that this was the same year that the Titanic sank. Then we sequenced pictures in the order we thought was correct. After this, we made a ‘graph’ of the pictures according to whether they were happy or sad events and discussed the things that happened that marked a turning point in the expedition.

Geography Lo: to locate the seven continents on a world map.

Image
Today we learned that a continent is a group of countries. We learnt that there are seven continents and we learnt the names of them. We also had a go at locating the continents on a world map and labelling the world map.  You may like to listen to the continents song at home to help learn the names of the continents.  https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiti-6f_aX6AhWPX8AKHcdIDz0QtwJ6BAgIEAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DK6DSMZ8b3LE%26vl%3Den&usg=AOvVaw0-1CixQd1uagMgXn15d6ID

English Lo: to perform poetry

 Inspired by our visit from the poet Tony Peek, earlier in the week, we have started looking at some poetry in our English lessons. We thought about what poems are and listened to some performances of some famous poems including Macavity the mystery cat, Life doesn’t frighten me at all by Maya Angelou and From a railway carriage by Robert Louis Stevenson. We then had a go at practising reading and performing some of these poems before learning a little bit of Please Mrs Butler by Allan Ahlberg off by heart.

National poetry day

Image
 This week we have celebrated  National Poetry Day. The theme this year was refuge and we talked about what a refuge is. We discovered that a refuge is a safe place so we talked about our safe places. We read a poem called Nature Trail by Benjamin Zephaniah which is all about a garden being a refuge and safe place for animals.  We then drew and painted pictures of our own safe places before writing poems using our senses to describe our safe places.
