We have been focussing on writing non-fiction in English this week. On Monday we looked at connective words and phrases which could be helpful when writing explanations and used these to create a variety of sentences about a series of different scenarios. Yesterday we then wrote an accident report incorporating explanation. We moved on a little today, turning our focus to comparing formal and informal writing. After examining formally and informally written party invitations, we wrote a formal letter of complaint to a restaurant owner using ideas from an informal letter to a friend about a bad experience of a meal out.

Our work in maths has covered long multiplication and division and some aspects of data handling. This has included drawing and interpreting bar charts and line graphs as well as sorting and tallying data.

We have spent some more time revising our science knowledge - thinking about the properties of different materials - and have also looked at some areas of physics on the BBC Revisewise website.

Yesterday we also had our weekly handwriting, spelling, French and YMCA PE sessions.
