In PSHE this week we have been continuing to build upon our work on what makes a balanced lifestyle and choices we will face as adolescents and adults. We have focused on what our favourite drinks are and how they can either contribute towards a healthy or unhealthy diet. We then explored the types of drinks we could choose to drink when we are older, including highly caffeinated drinks and alcohol, discussing the differences between them. We then focused on the difference between responsible alcohol use and drinking to excess and both the physical and emotional effects of each. 

In design technology, we tested our flood-proof homes, pouring water over our constructions and rating each out of ten for quality of construction, practicality, ability to float, ability to keep the inside dry. 

Next week we will be: 

• Researching Charles Darwin in science

• Planning a non-chronological report - The Art Of Haunting 

• Revising fractions
