8th November
We began a unit of work on measurement today. We concentrated on estimating and measuring distances to the nearest millimetre and played a game where you score more points the closer your estimate is to the actual distance.
In English we wrote a story for our Autumn Term assessment. The title of the story was "The Surprise Gift".
This afternoon we had singing and did some geography work about farming in the Lake District. Most farms in that area are hill farms, where the main-stay of the farm is sheep. We learned about the different parts of the farm, the inbye, the intake and the open fell areas and made a farm calender wheel to help us analyse what was done in each of the areas on the farm in different months of the year.
At the end of the day lots of us went to Film Club to watch Shrek ".
