18th to 20th October
We have been working to finish our unit of work about report writing, focusing on building good paragraphs by writing about how animals are adapted to live in mountain environments. We have also done some comprehension work on a later section of the Shrinking of Treehorn story.
In maths we have revised work on measures of central tendency by working out the mode, median and range of sets of numbers and solving some maths problems relating these notions. Yesterday, we had our half-termly maths test.
We have begun to think about our new science topic on forces and today, in addition to our Friday Maths and English groups, we also did some music in which we worked in small groups to create percussion sequences involving several players using different instruments combining to produce complex rhythms.
We have now broken up for our autumn half-term holiday. School begins again in one week.
