This week, we continued focusing on globalisation across the curriculum. In Art lessons with Mrs Smith, we redesigned well-known global brands’ logos by experimenting with different colours for our repeated patterns.
In Project, we learnt about the demands on different levels of the global food market and played a role play chocolate trading game, which was so much fun!
In Science, we learnt about the problem of space junk and assessed potential solutions to this. We then designed and described our own satellite removal tools to combat the issue.
In Maths, we continued learning about the relationship between fractions and decimals and began focusing on percentages. See here for practice: Sp2 W3 Maths
In English, we continued planning our essays on the title, ‘Globalisation makes the world a better place. Discuss’. We wrote single paragraph outlines and broke our paragraphs into four different points to help us when we write our essays next week.
