27th and 28th February
We have begun a new unit of work in English, learning about discussion texts. We have looked at a discussion text about mobile phones and annotated it to show the way the text is organised and the important language features. We have compared it with another, similar text and also thought about how the author planned this text. We have also started a new Science unit, beginning by revising work we did in Year 5 on the life cycle of plants.
In maths, we have concentrated on thinking about the different strategies that we can use to do mental addition and subtraction sums. We have practised these and thought about the best strategy to use for particular number combinations.
During our ICT time, we looked at a website introducing the idea of rationing during World War 2 and used the word processor to explore the use of punctuation in a discussion text.
This afternoon we had our weekly YMCA PE session, French and handwriting.
