Even though we have only been in school for 4 days this week, we have still managed to get through a lot of work!
We have now finished our balanced arguments - should children have been evacuated in World War 2?

​Take a look at Dylan's argument for evacuation.

​We also started studying the Blitz and looked at primary sources of evidence.


Oliver wrote this lovely acrostic poem about what he learned.

We are also enjoying experimenting with Scratch and carrying out investigations on light.

We are all enjoying studying the lives of children during WW2 and we have immersed ourselves into the issue of evacuation this week.  Did you know that nearly 3.5. million children were evacuated from British cities from 1939 - 1945?

Take a look at the letter written by Emily in role as a World War 2 evacuee.
We have also been practising our codebreaking skills.  Can you work out this coded message?

In Maths we have enjoyed creating and interpreting graphs and charts.  We just have pie charts left to do!!

Enjoy your bank holiday weekend!

Another week over! 
Class 13 have continued to work really hard on their topic of 'A Child's War'.

Take a look at the propaganda posters created by Ysabel and Roselyn.

We are really enjoying our class novel 'Friend or Foe' and have spent this week looking at the main characters in the book.  David and Tucky are both evacuees from London and they have been sent to live on a farm in Devon.  We have empathised with the situation faced by David and are writing letters home in role.
In maths we have enjoyed completing work on averages.  Take a look at the video below that helped us remember the difference between the mode, median and mean.

We have also started our weekly Jigsaw sessions and have been introduced to Jem and Paws.

Picture
On Wednesday we participated in a virtual Crucial Crew session.  We listened to presenters from Network Rail, the Food Standards Agency, the fire service etc about how to stay safe.

​​Have a lovely weekend.

Class 13 have all returned to school after the Easter holidays and are excited for their last term as primary pupils!
Our new theme for this term is 'A Child's War' and we have started to look at what life was like for children in World War 2.  We started by looking at what we already knew about WW2 and we have completed a timeline about the important events.  Today we have analysed propaganda posters and we have started to create our own posters using snappy slogans.  Look out for some completed posters next week!
Our new novel for this half term is Friend or Foe by Michael Morpurgo.
Picture
We started off by looking at the covers of other Michael Morpurgo books and sorted them into categories.
Picture
We found out that Michael Morpurgo likes to write about the war and animals and so we know what to expect from Friend or Foe!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

This week we made an I.T charter, helping us to keep safe online. Our class had to make posters to advertise food Mrs Roderick is selling for £3. We have also written some explanation texts. 
Picture
This was Katie's explanation text, good work.
We also wrote haiku poems about the miracle maker, which we recently watched.
Picture
This was by Roselyn, well done. This is the I.T charter.

Have a lovely Easter holiday.

​We've had a really busy first week back in Class 13. 

We have started work on explanation texts and we have learned the equivalence between fractions, decimals and percentages.

​​We have also amended our class charter to reflect the 'UN Rights of the Child'.  What do you think?

Well... here we are at the end of 8 weeks of home learning.  I've been super proud of all of you who have logged on to Google Classroom and completed your learning tasks every week.
Picture
We have consistently topped the OVPS league table of home learning engagement and so well done for staying positive and engaged throughout this lockdown.

​I'm looking forward to seeing you all back in school on Monday morning.  Have a lovely weekend.

On this day in 1930, Mohandas Gandhi began a 240 mile walk from near Ahmedabad in northern India to the Arabian Sea coast to protest against the British salt tax.

Imagine you are joining Gandhi on a peaceful protest against unfair laws.
What would you write on a placard (a notice carried during a demonstration) to explain to people what you were doing?
