This week, the children in VW have been busy!
Linked to our class text Lizzie and Belle, they explored descriptive language to capture the tense moment a chandelier fell and injured Lizzie’s father, Ignatius, focusing on the calm before and the drama after the fall.
In maths, they’ve been adding and subtracting fractions and progressing to mixed numbers. For History, they researched influential figures including Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Windrush generation, organising their findings in chronological order. We used the library for this.
In RE, the class learned about the Qur’an and how Muslims recite it in Arabic. They looked at the opening section of the Qur'an, Al-Fatiha, and tried memorising short sections for 10 seconds at a time- quite an interesting challenge! They reflected on what it might feel like to share Allah’s message with the world.
