Literacy
During Literacy this term we focused on the key text of ‘Hidden Figures’. We used skills such as technical vocabulary, persuasive devices and emotive language to create a formal letter to send to a judge! We thought carefully about how we would feel if we were in Mary’s position and reflected this in our final outcome. Our second outcome was a balanced argument and it was focused on the story of the Mars Rover ‘Curiosity’. We amazed Miss Culshaw with our amazing determination to produce a well wrote piece of writing!
LIRA
In LIRA this term, we firstly focused on non fiction pieces of writing all linked to our art topic of Frida Kahlo. We then moved onto looking at non fiction pieces all about inspirational black women which linked to our Literacy unit! We moved onto non fiction texts all about Space before finally finishing on poetry. During these topics we explored comprehension style questions and used our own opinion to give detailed answers!
Maths
In maths this half term we recapped fractions, decimals and percentages! We then applied our skills to problem solving and reasoning questions.. We really impressed Miss Culshaw with our resilience and determination to further our understanding and learning during our maths lessons! Keep up the brilliant work Class 9!
Science
In science this term our unit was planets and the solar system. During this unit we learnt all about the nine planets and the order they go in. We also learnt lots of amazing facts all about space! We also had the amazing opportunity to visit Horzion and take part in a brilliant solar system workshop!
Art
During this half term our focus has been on Art. During this topic we explored the great artist Frida Kahlo! In our lessons we have experimented with different mediums including sketching and watercolours. We have learnt all about the different colour types and used these to create our own colour wheel based on the colours Frida Kahlo used in her artwork. Our final outcome was too produce a self portrait in the style of Frida Kahlo! We can’t wait to show these off during our art galley event.
Next term's learning:
Well done for an amazing term Class 9! Keep safe and have a brilliant half term!
