27th June
We began work on angles in maths today, revising - or in some cases learning - how to use a protractor to measure angles. We also estimated and named angles (acute, obtuse, right-angle).
In ICT we completed our Control Logo programming, finishing writing our programs to control an advertising display to promote The Weakest Link.
This afternoon we picked up on our history work. The question was: how can we find out whether the Vikings ever came to the area around Nottingham? We decided that we could find out from books or the internet. After discussion, we realised that we could also find out by looking at the place names in the area to see if any of them have Norse elements. We then used local maps to help us answer he question. Later we sequenced a text about changes in Nottingham during the 10th century.
