The week started with us being invited to the Wellbeing Workshop where we explored the 5 steps to well-being. We learned lots of useful tips about how we can help ourselves and each other take care of our mental health as well as our physical health.
On Tuesday, we spent the morning being very dramatic as Fiona from The Young Shakespeare Company introduced us to William Shakespeare’s tragic play: Romeo and Juliet. The class was split in half with one half being the Capulets and the other half were the Montagues. Using our acting skills, the Capulets and Montagues squared up to each other and made it clear the feud was far from over!
As Romeo saw Juliet across the crowded masked ballroom, the pair were doomed to cross their parents’ wishes. It didn’t end well for them- nor their closest friends.
Exploring this play, we reflected how Shakespeare wrote about the human themes of love, struggles and how when humans try to outdo each other, it rarely ends well- how apt this message is right now.
During our science lessons. We investigated how light travels in straight lines for the light source (the incident rays) and how mirrors reflect them (reflected rays).
Amongst all of the workshops and active science learning, we have developed descriptive writing, worked on our vocabulary detective skills whilst reading and explored the properties of shapes in maths.
What will next week bring?
