We have continued with our work on measurement in maths - concentrating on being able to convert measures into the same units and then order them or do calculations to answer questions.

In English, we have continued our story work - thinking about the "build-up" section and writing this part of our story about a missing pet. We did some more science - undertaking some practical work to help us think about and explain why things weigh less in water and air.

We have spent quite a lot of time on history this week. Our focus was the blackout and, after looking at a range of different sources of information, we read and categorised a set of statements about the blackout - sorting them into groups to create a concept map. After that we discussed the problems that the blackout caused for people living in England at the time and read some letters that people wrote to the newspapers. Finally we composed a letter of our own supporting or criticising the blackout regulations.

We have also found time for singing, a short PE session and to begin our RE topic on symbolism and religious messages in the arts.
