5S have been learning about fractions in maths. We did a group activity that saw us make equivalent fractions. Summer and Charlotte were making a whole, halves and sixths and comparing them. Jess and her group were comparing a variety of common fractions.

In history 5S have been learning about the different types of governments around the world. We worked together to complete a research project using the laptops and tablets in the classroom.

5S and 5/6L have been doing drama lessons together. We have been learning about the art improvisation. We played a game called The Martha Game.

One person runs into the space, forms their body into a statue and announces what they are, as in "I'm a tree."

Instantly the next person runs on and forms something else in the same picture.  "I'm a bench under the tree."

The next person further adds to the picture.  "I'm a bum on the bench."

Then "I'm a dog peeing on the tree."

"I'm the newspaper the bum is sleeping under."

Etc., until the whole group is part of the picture.

We had loads of fun playing this game.
