As well as our maths (continuing with our work on number sequences) we did some science yesterday morning, writing up the experiment on reflective materials that we did on Monday. We also had our French, handwriting and YMCA session of PE.

Today we started the day of with a run-through of our Christmas production and then did some more maths work on sequences. Today we concentrated on the sequence of triangular numbers. This afternoon we did some art and RE work. We studied two pictures depicting the Christmas story and discussed a wide variety of aspects of the work (including the palette used, the media, the composition, the symbolism and our response/preferences). Then we used the "picture from memory" technique to explore one further picture - a "nativity icon". After re-creating the picture in groups using this technique we did a little writing to record our thoughts about the way the artist had represented religious ideas in the picture.
