We have continued our work on story writing by looking at a short story and analysing the structure of this (opening, build-up, dilemma, events, resolution and ending). We also looked at how an author builds up character and the setting through a story. Yesterday we wrote a story opening together and then in pairs and will work on this story further next week. In maths we have looked at time problems and multiplication.

Yesterday we had our final swimming session of the year and took the opportunity to weigh ourselves while we were in the water. We had earlier weighed ourselves in the classroom (i.e. in air) and this followed a science afternoon on Wednesday when we measured the force needed to pull shoes across the floor - comparing wooden floor and carpet - and weighing small objects in air and water.

Today we had our Friday English and maths groups and, this afternoon, started our singing practices in preparation for our Christmas Concert before finishing the day with some ICT (continuing our Powerpoint presentations) and a story.
