28th April
We have concentrated on our science work today.
To begin with we reviewed the old test paper that we had a go at on Wednesday, looking at the questions that we found most difficult and thinking about the questions that we did get marks for but could still have given better (more scientific) answers. After that we did maths - spending more time practising calculations involving fractions and percentages.
This afternoon, after doing a little work about spelling - considering unstressed syllables in words to fit in with this week's spelling list - we did a science/art activity. This is called "picture from memory" in which we were given a little time to look at a quite complicated picture (today's showed photographs of foods from different food groups set out in something like a pie chart) and we had to work in groups to re-create the picture.
