In maths, after considering some more ratio problems, we have spent time thinking about questions which require interpretation of graphs and charts. We have focused in particular on questions which are based on pie charts, and learning that we often need to think carefully about the numbers represented by the whole pie chart as well as the fractions shown.

In English we looked at a short story by Dick King-Smith which we read together. We thought about how the author made the ending relate to the start of the story and how he used expanded noun phrases in description.

We have completed our unit of work about micro-organisms by investigating the growth of yeast in different conditions, setting up different tests in which we had yeast with or without sugar (to act as food) in both warm and cold conditions.

Today we also had our usual Friday maths and English groups.
