5Cedar   Learning Update

Central idea: Roles and responsibilities lead to successful leadership.

We have dived into our second inquiry which is looking into different kinds of leadership. Children have enjoyed researching different climate change leaders: scientists, activists and world leaders. Cedar class have had great discussions on the similarities and differences between the leaders' response to Covid-19 in the UK and Germany. Using their history skills, children created a research question to answer on the leadership during the Great Plague, which led to many great discussions on the similarities of responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

In Maths, we have been learning about angles and trying to remember all the vocabulary such as acute and obtuse. They have gained skills in using a protractor and have worked extremely hard to calculate missing angles around a point. 

In art, the children created a self-portrait influenced by the artist Sonia Boyce. This will be developed further next week by using colours which represent what type of leaders we are.
