28th September
We explored the idea of forces further today, thinking about the forces involved in someone holding a conker, someone pulling a load and someone pulling a sledge up and down hill. We drew diagrams and labelled them with arrows to show the directions in which different forces were acting.
In maths we continued our fractions work. We began by changing mixed numbers into vulgar fractions before practicing converting pairs of different fractions into ones with the same denominator and reviewing how to simplify fractions.
In English we wrote paragraphs to introduce a report about Snowdonia and experimented with writing some sentences in different ways. We finished the day with music - working in groups to compose pieces with a "Chinese" flavour.
