17th and 18th October
Our English work this week is concentrating on ways of writing good sentences. Today and yesterday we have been thinking about using verbs in the active form and passive form. Today we started by looking at a powerpoint presentation about active and passive verbs, then played active-passive "Chinese Whispers" before doing some independent work.
In maths we have been continuing our "data handling" work - learning how to find the range, the mode, the median and the mean of a set of data. Today we revised these and tried to write explanations of how to work out these values.
On Monday we did a simple science experiment to help us begin thinking about the forces involved in objects falling through air and then we completed our powerpoint presentations on an important mountain range. Today we had our weekly French, handwriting and YMCA PE session.
