Literacy\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This week, our Literacy lessons have been both thought-provoking and inspiring. We began by watching a powerful advert highlighting the decline in the tiger population. The advert showed bottles of tiger bone wine being shot, symbolising the destruction caused by human activity. The students discussed how the advert made them feel, why it was so effective, and identified the key persuasive features used to deliver its message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, the students went on a vocabulary treasure hunt, working in pairs to find and match the meanings of new words from our text. Afterwards, we explored the features of persuasive writing together. Using an example text, the students identified key techniques such as rhetorical questions, emotive language, and the use of facts and statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To finish the week, they began planning their own persuasive pieces, which they will complete after the half-term break. I can\u2019t wait to see their finished work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IPC <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This week in IPC, the students completed their ancient civilization presentations. Each group shared what they had discovered about their assigned civilization, including key achievements, important inventions, and interesting cultural facts. These presentations helped everyone to strengthen their understanding of how the civilizations developed over time, where they were located, and what made each one unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, the students brought all their learning together by listing the eight civilizations in chronological order, from the earliest to the most recent. They then used a world map to colour in where each civilization once existed, helping them to clearly see how civilizations developed in different parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To finish the week, the students were paired up and given two civilizations to compare. Working together, they created informative and eye-catching posters that highlighted three similarities and three differences between their chosen civilizations. They also included a short written section explaining which civilization they believed was the greatest, boldest, and bravest<\/em>,and, most importantly, why. The students showed fantastic teamwork, critical thinking, and creativity throughout the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
