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

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

This week in Literacy, the students focused on applying their recent grammar learning to a purposeful writing task. Building on their work with modal verbs, the children were asked to write a persuasive letter from the perspective of a farmer addressing their local government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the scenario, the farmer had shot a tiger and was at risk of losing their land. The students had to use a range of modal verbs and persuasive techniques to convince the government that they deserved to keep their farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The class worked carefully to structure their letters using clear paragraphs, formal language, and strong reasoning. They thought about the farmer\u2019s situation, the consequences of their actions, and the arguments they could present to influence the government\u2019s decision. This task gave the students a valuable opportunity to blend creativity, empathy, and grammatical accuracy, resulting in some powerful and convincing pieces of writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

In IPC this week, we continued our exploration of Ancient Greece and began looking more closely at how this civilisation was organised and how its ideas still influence the world today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We first examined Ancient Greek city-states, focusing on why they developed the way they did. The students then had the chance to design their own city-state, making decisions about location, natural resources, defence, culture, and daily life. They justified each choice, showing a strong understanding of what made city-states successful in the ancient world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later in the week, we moved on to major Greek inventions and ideas, including democracy, medicine, mathematics, theatre, architecture, and philosophy. Each student selected an invention to research and created an informative poster explaining what it was, why it mattered, and how it shaped life in Ancient Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To finish the week, we began comparing these inventions, discussing which were most useful and why. The students shared opinions, connected ideas, and started thinking critically about long-term influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next week, this learning will build into a class debate where groups will argue for the invention they believe has had the greatest impact on our society today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Useful Information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, November 21st<\/strong>, we will be holding our TGMC Kindness Carnival! This exciting event will raise money for our partner TGMC school in Bristol, UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your child has already received all the necessary information about the event. We kindly ask for donations of any items that could be suitable to sell at the carnival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
