A Taste Of Our Learning

Geography

Over the past two weeks in geography, we have explored North America, the third-largest continent on planet Earth. We used maps to find where North America is, labelled our own world maps to ensure we understand what is around North America (such as the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean) and then, this week, we found out that there are 23 countries on the continent of North America.

PSHE

This week, we explored two famous black individuals from history who worked hard to change the United States of America and, in doing so, helped to change the world: Martin Luther King Jr and Rosa Parks. I tasked Bee class with creating a speech, just like Martin Luther King Jr famously delivered during the march on Washington in 1963. They could choose the topic, be it climate change, bullying, our rights, etc. They delivered wonderful speeches! Everyone tried hard to deliver with passion and I was so proud of their BRAVERY, standing up in front of the class to deliver them. 

Reading

During our first week (StartRight), we created our own theme parks based around our favourite books. We had to brainstorm a variety of books we have really enjoyed and would recommend to others, think about the kind of ride, attraction, restaurant, etc that would fit with that book (meaning we really had to know the book well!) and then created our theme parks. I don't know about you but I would definitely want to visit these theme parks!
