17th - 20th November
In maths we have continued our work on solving problems. We have focussed on problems using information from timetables (such as bus timetables and train timetables) and from charts showing the distances between cities.
We studied more sets of instructions, sequencing them and inseting connectives. Then we wrote a complete instruction text to provide a reader with instructions to play the game of jacks (or snobs as it is known in some parts of the country).
We completed our geography unit of work on farming in the Lake District by learning about the financial pressures on the farmers and considering diversification. The children drew up plans for developing some of the hill farm land for uses other than farming and explained how this would increase the farm's income.
We also spent some more time on our science unit on healthy eating and did some art work, related to our weaving project, exploring different ways of creating an image.
