English - Character description of a monster villain

Today's English focus was character descriptions of a villain monster. We worked as a class team to match a picture to the correct description, then tried to write our own description of the monster Grendel. The class enjoyed reading each other's description and left positive feedback, as well as a comment of how to improve their writing. They enjoyed this lesson! 


Science - Properties of materials

In science, the class investigated properties of different materials focusing on magnetism (using magnets),  transparency (using torches) and hardness. We then discussed what material certain items should be made out of and why.
