3rd and 4th May
We have moved on to consider fractions and decimals in maths. We have been learning how to calculate fractions of numbers (such as three quarters of thirty-two) and have been changing fractions into equivalent decimals using a calculator.
Our work on Rivers and Water has continued with thinking about how the water companies clean the water before they pipe it to our homes. First we thought about all the things that might be in the water before the water companies get it and then tried to clean some dirty water ourselves. We managed to get all the "bits" out with sieves and filter paper but anything that was dissolved in the water was not removed. Then we used the booklet The Watermen to find out about all the different processes that the water companies use to clean the water.
In English we have looked at a story by Jan Mark and used this to think about ways of answering comprehension questions and today we thought more about Grandpa Chatterji. We planned a piece of writing about the character of Grandpa Chatterji today, thinking about his appearance, his personality and where he comes from. We discussed the organisation of our writing and prepared one of the paragraphs.
On Tuesday we had our PE lesson with the YMCA and our handwriting and Spanish sessions.
