Stem challenge day

We have recently had our most recent stem challenge. We have been learning about wind power and the advantages and disadvantages of it. We looked at the mechanisms and discussed the pros and cons of the designs. 

Some of us used card. Others used knex to help create the mechanism and cogs. Here are some of the designs

Dear Mrs McCormick

In class, we have been learning how to write persuasive letters. The topic of these letters was our teacher for next year. We had to write a letter to Mrs McCormick trying to persuade her of which teacher we should have.

We learned:

• How to set out a letter correctly
• How to use persuasive language like "You must" instead of "You could"
• How to use flattery " We realise you are very busy and hardworking"
• How to use a subordinate clause (Backwards sentence) e.g. I would like Mr Clark as my teacher eventhough I have had him before. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Eventhough I have had him before, I would like Mr Clark as my teacher.
