The week in Thames Class - w/e 27th November

This week in English we started writing our newspaper articles based on the crimes committed by Goldilocks in our sentence stacking lessons. The children have produced some fantastic writing and have been working hard to include criminal vocabulary.  Here is a copy of our class model so far .

In Science this week we finished off out Light unit of work by writing a set of instructions explaining how to signal using a mirror and reflected light. Here are some examples of the children's work. 

In PE this week we enjoyed playing a game called Empty the Safe. The purpose of this game was to evaluate and change the way we move through small spaces. In teams we formed a human castle around a pile of equipment (gold) and then a raider would approach the castle with a thrown down disc which they would place down next to the castle. Keeping one point of contact with the throw down disc at all times the raider had to attempt to reach into the human castle and collect the gold without touching anyone.
