Cherry Class Blog Term 2 Week 3
Welcome everyone to our latest blog at the end of our third week of this Autumn term.
In Literacy, the children have had an enjoyable week using figurative language linked to school and had the opportunity to use similes, metaphors, repetition, hyperbole, personification in poems they've studied and additional stanzas they've added.
Both Year 5 and 6 have again been looking at fractions this week. Year 5 have been looking at fractions greater than 1 (improper fractions and mixed numbers) and Year 6 have been adding, taking away and multiplying fractions.
In history, we are continuing our learning linked to the Golden Age of Islam from many hundreds of years ago and this week we studied a famous Arab explorer who left his home to explore the Arab world......and didn't return for nearly 29 years!
In RE we looked at two statues in Bristol and discussed the rights and wrongs over the protests in 2020 that resulted in one of the statues ending up in the Bristol docks.
This week it has been Anti-Bullying week at school and we had some good discussions midweek about how 'banter' can sometimes lead to bullying.
We had a double PE session today, with some calming yoga first before completing a fitness circuit in the hall and again in the afternoon completing a tag-rugby session.
P.S. Please read the message below from Miss Muddassir, our RE co-ordinator.
Calling all budding artists/graphic designers/illustrators at Park Way!
Park Way is holding a greeting card competition this year and the theme is
