We have compared two poems in English - one by Grace Nichols and one by John Keats - looking at their word choice as well as aspects of organisation and patterning. We developed this by writing lines of our own to match the different styles of these poets. Today, we extended this by writing similarly structure poems but, in ours, we used powerful, active verbs and similes in our lines of poetry.

In maths we have been working on data handling - tallying a set of data, creating groupings and presenting the information using graphs. We have also spent time discussing factors that need to be taken into account when grouping data.

We had our PE with the YMCA on Tuesday afternoon following our French and handwriting sessions and, today, we also spent some more time on our geography powerpoint presentation and did some science. This concentrated on understanding the notion of upthrust in water - using practical experiences (including "feeling the force") to help us think through the ideas.
