We completed our descriptive sentences for our harvest display and organised the layout of these on the computer using Word. Then we watched a video, Flight over Snowdon, to introduce the next unit of our Mountain Environments topic in which will be writing a report about Snowdonia as a class. Today, we used a CD-ROM and some websites to make notes ready for our report. For part of the lesson we made notes on paper and for the rest of the lesson we used "copy and paste" to make notes on the computer. We will evaluate these notes when we come to writing our report.

In maths we have begun some work on fractions. We have revised our knowledge of equivalent fractions and today thought about how we would explain the idea of equivalent fractions to younger children and tried "cancelling".

In science we have been developing our ideas about forces and the direction they act in (for example, we thought about how gravity acts to pull things towards the centre of the Earth) and drew diagrams to show the effect of forces. We will be doing some more work on this.

This afternoon we had handwriting and French and then our PE session with the YMCA.
