In our English work we finished our newspaper report about the discovery of a strange creature in the Broadmarsh Caves and have now begun working on ways to write good reports comparing two flanimals. We have thought about how to structure these and the sorts of connectives that would be helpful.

Our maths work has focused on division. We have practised accurate computation and solved problems requiring a decision about whether the answer needs to be rounded up or rounded down to the nearest whole number. We have also been making sure that we can write answers where we have to correctly convert the remainder to a fraction.

In music, we have begun working on some "Chinese" compositions. We are working in groups to create "question" and "answer" phrases using the pentatonic scale and adding some rhythm using untuned percussion. We chose "metal" instruments to enhance the effect.

We have had our weekly French, spelling/handwriting and YMCA PE sessions and, today, we had a science afternoon when we revised methods of separating materials before we did an experiment to begin looking at factors which effect the speed of dissolving.
