We learnt all about the European Union in Room 13. As part of this topic, each of us researched for and put together a project on an EU country. We presented our projects to our pods and learnt so much from one another as each of us were assigned a different country. The EU was an interesting topic to learn about and we loved finding out about different European cultures through our own research and through the research of others.

Debating in Room 13
In order to learn how to use persuasive language, Room 13 prepared for Pod Debates. Each pod was split into two teams and given a motion. We drafted and redrafted our speeches until we felt confident enough to engage in a debate with the opposition/proposition.
The four motions were as follows:
-School should start later.
-Uniforms are unnecessary.
-It would be good to be famous.
-Lunchtime should be longer.
Many thanks to Room 14 who were a wonderful audience. They listened intently and brought a lot to the experience by asking questions and voting to decide which team won.
In advance, we felt nervous. However, the debates were thoroughly enjoyable to watch and be a part of and there were many interesting and unplanned moments caused by interruptions from the other team with points of information!
Reporters in Room 10
Room 10 having lots of fun making up news reports in groups!!
Procedural Writing and Presentations in Room 15
We have been spending the last few weeks working on both our procedural writing and oral language skills.

Check out the following videos to see our final masterpieces!
Pod 1: How to Make a Christmas Wreath
Pod 2: How to Make Hot Chocolate

The make and do show 2020 in Room 5
The pupils in Room 5 were learning all about procedural writing and decided to make some tutorial videos using the procedural skills we learned.
We worked in our pods to write the scripts (remembering our procedural language), we prepared the onjects that we needed and we shot our tutorial videos.
We hope you enjoy them.

Project presentations in Room 13
In Room 13, we have been very busy working on projects about the Native Americans.
Today we got to show off our hard work by doing Project Presentations. We spoke about our different subheadings, read our favourite parts, talked about our drawings and about what we enjoyed and found difficult.
We learned so much from each other’s hard work and enjoyed the process of doing a project. 😊
