We have completed our revision of the "biology" areas of our science work, after thinking about plant life cycles and comparing the conditions necessary for seeds to germinate with those needed for plants to grow well.

In English, we have thought about some spelling patterns, specifically the "rule" for spelling words with the ie or ei digraph. We have also studied two poems, discussing the author's choice of words, the structure of the poems and reflecting on the meanings.

Maths work has focussed on fractions - finding fractions of quantities (including fractions of money amounts), simplifying fractions, cancelling, finding equivalents and converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions.

We finished the week with a sketching activity which used the technique of changing the angle at which the pencil is held in order to change the width of the line being produced.
