Week 7; What was rationed during the war?

I'm so pleased that we are back in action with a working computer... nevertheless there are still some technical hitches (like not being able to add a picture to this post).
Investigate rationing during the war for our lesson on Wednesday and add your findings to the Blog. Can you record the information in a sentence which includes a semi-colon?
Parents' Evenings are this week so we will be having a tray and classroom tidy up! Booster sessions are on Tuesday and hopefully we will be starting cookery groups later in the week. Can you find any wartime recipes?

Week 6: What was life like in wartime Britain?

Welcome back to school after a busy half term- I hope you have all had a lovely break.
This week we will be visiting Church for a Lent Service on Tuesday morning so please remember to bring your coat. PE kits are needed as normal on Wednesday and Friday and half term homework should be handed in by Friday.
Mrs Green has had major problems with her computer this holiday and is hoping that all the work that she has been busily doing can be retrieved.
I have borrowed a school laptop to use in the classroom but you will need to be very patient with technology this week (even more than usual) and hopefully normal business will be resumed as soon as possible...

Week 5: What happened to children in other countries?

This week we will be learning how the war impacted children all over Europe.
Imagine you are on a boat travelling to England. What would you say to your friends? How would you feel?
Add a short dialogue to the Blog based on these pictures. Remember to punctuate your dialogue accurately.
At 6.00pm on Tuesday there will be a meeting to discuss the arrangements for our Scarborough Residential Visit
Don't forget to bring in your frying pan and pancake for our traditional races at the start of the day on Friday.

Week 4: Leaving Home

How would you feel if you had to leave your home, to go to live in the countryside? This week we will be finding out about the 300,000 children who were evacuated on 1st September 1939.

The children got on the train.

Can you improve this sentence? Record your ideas on the Blog.

Now that the snow has disappeared, please remember you will still need your wellies if you would like to play on the field.

Week 3: The Blitz

What does the word Blitz mean?
Listen to these audio clips- how does it make you feel?

I hope you have all had an exciting weekend in the snow and are ready for more snowy playtimes on Monday.
Please remember hats, gloves and wellies. It was disappointing to see so many children without their full PE kit on Friday- can those children involved make a special effort this week to be more organised.

Week 2: Outbreak of War

This week we will be using your homework research to help us answer questions about the outbreak of World War 2.

When and why did the Second World War happen?

Which countries were involved in the War?
Where did the fighting take place?
Who were the War leaders?

Our 'Mean Green Time Machine' is beginning to take shape. Have you got any ideas for a Time Machine Rap?
Please remember that we will be visiting Peterborough City Hospital on Monday morning to see the A&E Department in action. You will need a small snack and a water bottle, and of course a warm coat in case of snow!
PE kits are needed on Wednesdays and Fridays (jogging bottoms, a warm fleece and hat and gloves for the outdoor session on Fridays please)

 

Happy New Year!

Welcome to the Spring Term 2013. I hope you have all had a great Christmas break and are ready for a busy term ahead.
What have you been doing during the Christmas holiday?
Have you made any New Year Resolutions?
Our new topic is  'Step back in Time.' Where would you like to travel back in time to? What would you like to do? Who would you like to meet?
