17th and 18th September
Our main new work this week so far has been to really get under way with the main focus of our geography topic for this term - mountain environments. We used the internet to discover some basic information about some of the main mountain ranges of the world - noting their locations, marking these on a map of the world, recording the name and height of the highest mountain in each of these ranges and on each continent.
In English, we have looked at some "sentence level work" again, thinking about description and expanded noun phrases in particular. We have been reading a book (Awful Annie by J. B. Simpson) which has some very good description, which we have discussed and we have also written descriptive openings to a traditional story.
Our main maths work has involved multiplying decimal numbers - both mentally and using written methods - and today we have been rounding and approximating numbers.
