Week beginning 17th May 2021

Welcome to Computing and DT Week (1)!

Computing Research Degrees - PhD - 2021/22 Entry | Birmingham City  University

This week, during our foundation lessons, QE2 Class will be embarking on an exciting Computing project entitled ‘We are Travel Writers’.

In Tower Class, we shall be starting our DT project of designing, creating and evaluating our own pop-up books!

Pop-ups: A “movable” feast of deliciously dazzling books

After half term, the classes will swap their projects.

Our learning objectives this week are:

English – We shall be finishing our substitution stories. We have been focusing on building atmosphere and describing settings. Additionally, we have been reviewing appropriate vocabulary choices and how to edit and up-level our writing effectively. Sadly, this will bring our unit on Macbeth to a close. Due to the focus on developing our inferential skills, the next title of our book will not feature on our blog until the children have been introduced to it in class. We can’t wait to share it with you.
