12th to 14th September
Our maths work has focused on negative numbers, including finding differences between positive and negative numbers (in the context of temperatures) and place value - multiplying and dividing numbers (including decimal numbers) by 10, 100 and 1000.
We have been working on two different aspects of English. We have been discussing and writing story openings in different styles - action openings and dialogue openings - and also thinking about creating more interesting sentences by using good connectives and including expanded noun phrases.
We have had another music session in which we worked in groups to create rhythm patterns with either wooden or metal percussion instruments and we have also had a couple of art lessons. In these we have studied the drawing of figures, beginning with stick-figures in different action poses and then learning how to "bulk out" this framework to produce a better constructed figure.
