Our novel – There’s a boy in the girl’s bathroom, has us hooked. We have looked in depth, this week into the confused and complicated mind of Bradley Chalkers. Discussing character motivation and exploring the reasons why people behave as they do. In maths we have been reflecting shapes using a variety of methods. We have realised that tracing paper, alongside mirrors, can be an aid to this. Youth Club news 20th Jan- Wii competitions 27th Jan- Junk Modelling 3rd Feb- Games night 10th Feb- Valentine’s Party Free Meal deal after 6 visits!! This week we have looked at one character from our focus text. The Troll came to visit us and we listened to his side of the story. He let us ask him questions and we feel we know him quite well now! We made a list of 24 words which we could use to describe him. We used these words to help us write character profiles. This was good fun!
