16th to 18th November
We took a "side-step" in our English work on Thursday to concentrate on the punctuation of speech - making sure that we all remembered where capital letters are needed, how commas should be used and when it is necessary to begin a new line in conversations. Our maths work focused on reading and interpreting scales - scales on different types of ruler, measuring jug and weighing scales.
We also began our Design Technology project on shelters. The main work in this topic is to do with creating strong structures and so we did an activity in which we had to try to make a piece of A4 paper as strong as possible - by changing its shape with folding etc. We then tested what we had made by making them support increasing weight.
To day we had our usual Friday English and maths sessions in the morning and, this afternoon, we had music and then did a little RE. We finished off the day with some science, discussing scenarios concerned with creating well controlled experiments.
