In English, we have turned our attention to non-fiction writing and, specifically, writing good paragraphs. We have examined a non-chronological report and thought about how each paragraph is developed. Then we wrote a paragraph together (about the weather in mountain areas) making sure that the first sentence outlined the main idea of the paragraph and that the following sentences gave detail, explanation or examples about that idea. We also made sure that we began the sentences in different ways to help keep the readers interest.

In maths we did some more work on multiplication and have been experimenting with different ways of doing these sums "in your head". The main issue, and topic for discussion, is choosing the best method for each particular sum.

We have had our PE session with the YMCA and our French and handwriting sessions. Today we also did some science in which we weighed things in air and in water - comparing the results.
