1st to 3rd February
We have continued with our story writing work, spending time evaluation our own writing and creating an ending for the "Too frightening for me" story. We have also thought about the plots of a series of short stories and tried to summarise these to help is with planning our own stories.
In maths we have been trying to solve more difficult problems involving percentages and fractions of quantities (such as 300m or £475) as well as numbers.
In art we have spent a long time this week on a sketching and drawing task for an art display and exhibition entitled Close up magnification. We filled an open matchbox-sized box with all sorts of tiny objects then drew this, magnified many times, on a piece of paper. We tried different types of shading in our sketch books and used some of these on our pictures. We also used pencil crayon to colour these pictures.
We also did some sketching in geography when we drew sketch maps of the area outside our school where we are considering providing an additional pedestrian-only entrance.
