The bad weather and the effect on the roads around school caused us to be closed on Wednesday but "normal service" returned yesterday. We completed our work on data handling and graphs, spending time thinking about the importance of making sure that the axes are correctly labelled and marked in even steps. We completed a writing activity writing the text for an encyclopedia entry about houses. In RE we were thinking about mosques and used a virtual tour of a mosque on the internet to help us label a picture or a mosque and understand the significance of different features. We had our tables and spelling test and the looked at the BBC science clips website to conclude our main work on Sound.

Today our maths was reminding us of some strategies we can use for doing addition and subtraction sums in our head and then most of the day focused on ancient Greek work. As well as spending some time thinking our the life-style of slaves in ancient Greece as part of our history topic, our English work was about the alphabet and words which have come into our language from ancient Greece.
