9th and 10th February
On Thursday, we finished our tests. We did a written maths paper in the morning (this was the one in which we could use a calculator) and there was a mental maths paper in the afternoon. We tried some science activities, thinking about permanent and non-permanent changes, and also did PE - practising some hockey skills and then playing some small-team games.
Today we had our usual Friday English and Maths groups in the morning and, after giving out homework, we did art this afternoon. We were working on sculpture. We began by using K'Nex and then developed sculptures using simple card strips and paperclips to hold them together. When the design was complete we used glue to stick the strips together in position. Later, when the glue was dry, the paperclips were removed.
