16th - 18th April
Our Summer Term has begun and we have tried to get into our stride quickly.
In English we have been reading some exciting fiction passages, discussing any interesting features of the stories and the texts then, after doing a few comprehension questions, we have been creating passages continuing from those we have looked at. The main aim has been to try to integrate action, description and dialogue to make an effective sequel.
In maths we have begun a revision programme to cover many of the areas we have studied this year. We have focused on finding percentages and fractions of numbers and tackling a range of mental maths questions and problems.
We have been revising work on plants in science, thinking about the functions of different part of the flower in relation to plant reproduction and then thinking about seed dispersal. We have also made some notes about teeth, eating and a healthy diet and tried some of the activities on the BBC ReviseWise website.
