P7C week beginning 5.11.21

I have asked the class to prepare either a presentation or a short lesson by themselves or with a partner for next week. They can present/teach anything they like but the focus is on developing their communication and presenting skills.

I know that speaking in front of an audience can be worrying so I have said that if they would prefer the children can record a video/PowerPoint at home that we then watch in school. The instructions are here:

This week we have been learning: (we tried doing Reflective Friday on Teams this week collaboratively)
