22nd and 23rd February
In English we have started work on some non-fiction writing incorporating features of non-chronological reports and explanation writing. The subject we are taking is Libraries. We began by making notes about what we knew about libraries and then grouped our ideas into themes ready to create coherent paragraphs.
In maths we continued our work on finding areas of shapes on Tuesday and, today, we thought about measuring mass (weight). We looked at different scales and tried reading measurements from these scales. We also checked that we could convert grams to kilograms.
We had our YMCA session of PE and our Spanish lesson. We spent this afternoon planning and carrying out a science investigation. We had to find out what sort of materials muffle sound best. We did the experiment just using our ears to judge sound levels, then repeated it using two different sorts of sound meters, including one attached to the computer so that it could collect the measurements for us.
