10th October
In maths today we began a new area of study. We thought about probability today - specifically concentrating on understanding evens and equal probability. We also did some work which involved us considering probability in term of fractions.
We continued building our Powerpoint presentations in ICT, with different groups researching the Himalayas, the Alps, the Andes and the Rocky Mountains.
Literacy work this week will still concentrate on poetry, but today we focused on similes as and aspect of figurative language. We discussed "traditional" or well-known similes (like "as flat as a pancake") and created some "new" ones.
To finish the day, we did some art work. We made flick-books as part of our topic on people in motion.
