25th and 26th November
We have spent some more time in maths on solving problems and making sure that we show the necessary "working out". We continued with our play scripts - not writing any more of the actual script, but describing the set and scenery for a potential director.
In science we thought about the effects of a poor diet and learned the story of sailors in Tudor times and the problems that they had with scurvy before discovering that lime juice (because of the vitamin C content) could stop this disease.
We had another swimming session on Thursday and did some art (our "Talking Textiles" topic) this afternoon. We looked at pictures that had been made on different materials (ancient Greek vase paintings on clay; ancient Egyptian paintings on plaster and the Bayeux tapestry on cloth) before doing some preliminary drawings for our own series of pictures to tell the story of Theseus and the Minotaur.
