We have begun a unit of work on evacuation in our history topic. We watched part of a video and a dvd in which evacuees recalled their various experiences. We also studied contemporary photographs to find the extent to which these matched up with some of the people's recollections. We have begun writing letters "in role" imagining that we were children evacuated at the beginning of World War II who had to write home describing what had happened to us.

We have done some geography fieldwork, collecting data from a traffic/pedestrian survey to support the case for having a new pedestrian gate for our school.

Our maths has focussed on fraction work - finding fractions (and percentages) of quantities and also having another go at converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions.
