21st and 22nd March
After an INSET day on Monday, things returned to normal yesterday. In maths we began some work on ratio and proportion, thinking about identifying ratios, simplifying them and tackling some problems involving ratios. In English we focused on punctuation - that is, punctuation of speech and the use of commas in longer sentences. In the afternoon we had our PE session with the YMCA, French and handwriting.
Today we had a go at a previous year's English SATs spelling and short writing task. In maths we thought about problems based on pie charts in which we had to work out fractions shaded and compare them with values shown on other charts. This afternoon we worked on science. The work was about microbes and their role in decay and decomposition and how people attempt to preserve things (like food) by using methods which make it harder for microbes to live, grow and reproduce.
