So, we are extremely lucky, because Madame Sharkey knows Shaheen Kahn, who plays Grandma Zainab in Apple Tree House. She has very kindly recorded AF Harold’s Say something nice to inspire you in your poetry. Click on the link below to listen.
Aurora has created an identity hand as part of her work around Article 7, which is about respecting your name and nationality.
Mia did two of the suggested activities
I’m intending to post these – I think there are 20 in total – over the next few weeks. There may well be some house points up for grabs. Remember to use RUCSAC and do what the question asks. If it asks for an explanation, then be sure to include an explanation… good luck!
Toby has written a lovely poem to say thank you to the NHS for all they are doing at the moment to support us. Thank you for sending this in Toby, I think you have managed to convey how we all feel towards the NHS, and indeed all our key workers.
Toby has sent in a photograph of some of his French home-learning set by Madame Sharkey – thank you. As ever, please remember to comment, giving constructive feedback on both the content and presentation.
Congratulations to Phoenixes.
The house points chart for Owls currently looks like this:
Phoenixes: 13 (total = 28)
Unicorns: 11 (total = 22)
Griffins: 6 (total = 18)
Dragons: 1 (total = 2)
Remember, more home-learning and blog engagement earns more house points. Come on Griffins and Dragons, you can do it!
Aurora has sent in her Skellig raving review (above), whilst Erika has reviewed Women in Science, which is not a book I am familiar with, but has definitely piqued my interest, particularly after we celebrated Diversity Day with a focus on challenging gender stereotypes and were lucky enough to talk to Dr. Sarah Collington and Naomi Clarke.
Mia has reviewed Malory Towers by Enid Blyton, a book I enjoyed reading when I was younger.
As ever, I would encourage you to comment and give constructive feedback on both the content and presentation of these pieces of work.
Thanks, Olive, for sending in a picture of Flapjack. I’m sure we’re all delighted that he’s looking quite perky and is enjoying himself with your family.
Good afternoon all, here is the latest instalment – the end of chapter 31. Just six more chapters to go. Whilst recording, I found it particularly difficult to say ‘boxing match’, for any one who’s interested… Enjoy!
Thank you to those of you who submitted some very thought-provoking questions for our P4C discussion this week.
The winning question this week is by Mia:
“Is saying no more powerful than saying yes?”
Please discuss in the comments.
