In maths we have been working on some mental maths - addition and subtraction - concentrating on thinking about different methods of doing these sorts of calculations in your head and deciding which methods are best in which situations.

We have started looking at play scripts in English, studying a section from Peter Pan presented in the form of a play. On Monday we worked in groups to interpret the script and act out part of the script, using the stage directions to suggest movements and to guide the way we said the words. To day we re-presented a few lines of the script in the form of dialogue in a story.

To prepare to create a class database about ancient Greek gods, we have used internet sources to collect information and complete a data capture sheet. This will link in with our history work.

In science we have had some fun - and more than a little difficulty at times - finding our pulse and counting to find our pulse rates. We have been doing this so that we can compare pulse rates when we are resting with pulse rates after we have been doing some exercise.

This afternoon we also had our YMCA PE session and Spanish.
