Here are the highlights of our week….

​ 
It has been another lovely week in Birch class! Here are the highlights of our week…. 

• In our WW2 topic, we analysed primary and secondary sources of evidence for signs of the ‘Blitz spirit’. Was it a real thing? Or was it propaganda?  
• In Maths, we finished our first 2-week block on Place Value. Y6 did an amazing job; all making a lot of progress since the start of term. Some children made more than 50% progress and somebody even made 1900% progress!!  
• In English, we’ve started writing our Lockdown diary entries. We’ve been studying Flossie’s War Diary for 3 weeks now and we’ve learned a lot! Sentence construction, dashes, apostrophes for contraction/possession, fronted adverbials, formal/informal writing – we’ve done it all!  
• In RE we looked at the main beliefs of Hindus – moksha, samsara, karma, Brahman. We also discussed what our ‘after-life’ beliefs were and looked at what Hindus believe. 
• We also had French with Mrs Robertson, PE with our Saints coach, Art with Mr Dray and Music with Mrs Rowe!  

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
