1st and 2nd March
In English we have used our annotated discussion texts to help us list connectives and phrases which may be used in argument. Today we wrote an argument together (why the WW II evacuation was a bad idea) and then, with a partner, began writing a counter argument (why it was a good idea). We have continued to practice and discuss mental maths strategies in our maths lessons.
Yesterday afternoon we revised the notion of seed dispersal by creating a powerpoint to illustrate the different methods and today we moved on to thinking about identification trees. We created decision trees and used others to identify small animals. We also had a PE session, learning how to hold a cricket bat safely and properly and to play the "straight drive".
