Save the Rainforests!

Our Theme and English work this week has focused around the theme of saving the rainforests.  We have learnt about the harm that destroying the rainforests has on local native tribes as well as larger scale across the world.  

We wrote letters to persuade people to save the trees, animals and people that live in the rain forest.  I was so impressed with the use of persuasive features, Class 4 certainly proved that they can show emotion through their writing.  All letters were excellent but a special well done must go to our Wonderful Writers this Week: Abigail, Louis, Conrad, Kirsty, Holly and Juliette. 

In groups during our theme lesson, children worked on persuasive posters.  Here are just a couple that were close to being finished.  

Year 5 children also enjoyed their first Oaks and Acorns session of 2016 where they planted sweet pea seeds.  They then had to put forward their business plan for selling the plants at the Summer Fayre.  Each group had their own ideas and strategies to raise the most money possible.  

 
 

And they cleaned up well too!

It just remains to wish you all a very happy and restful weekend,
