27th and 29th March
In maths we worked on pie charts on Monday, interpreting these and using them to solve problems. We concentrated on explaining the solution to the problems using fractions. Today we did some work on averages - the mean, median and mode.
In English we spend Monday's lesson looking closely at some writing we did last week as a practice test. We discussed examples of our writing - highlighting the strengths and the points that could be improved and we also looked at some examples that had been printed in the teachers' mark scheme. Then we had a go at improving our own pieces of writing. Today we did our writing in history. We planned and drafted the writing for a wartime leaflet informing householders how to use a stirrup pump.
On Monday afternoon, we watched the Years 3 and 4 production and this afternoon, after doing PE with the YMCA, we began some science revision (about electric circuits) using a BBC video. School was closed this Tuesday.
