18th and 19th January
We finished our flanimals work by completing the drafting of our comparison and copying this up. In maths we have revised some strategies for tackling easier "number" questions in SATs-type papers by making helpful jottings to record methods.
We have done a series of experiments in science to investigate factors affecting the speed which which materials dissolve in water. Yesterday we all tested the effect of changing the temperature of water on the time taken for a measure of salt to dissolve and today different groups investigated other factors such as quantity of salt/water, effect of stirring, the size of the salt crystals.
In RE/art spent some more time thinking about the symbolism apparent in Hindu art and then completed our own pictures representing the god Ganesha.
