10th to 12th October
In English we finished our stories and reviewed them using our success criteria sheets so that we could identify strengths and weaknesses in our own work. We also completed our display of "simile" poetry and studied a poem employing personification. We will think about this again next week.
In maths, we did a review test on Wednesday covering the work we have done so far this term. Yesterday and today, we did some work on number sequences - focusing on describing the sequences (including using algebra) and explaining how they can be continued.
We thought about the economics of running a hill farm in geography work, discussing the ways this sort of farm can provide income and the expenses involved in running them. Then we considered the advantages and disadvantages of diversification before planning our own farms designed to give us a good standard of living.
Today, after our Friday English and Maths groups, we did some art, using chalks to produce pictures for our People in Action topic and smudging the appropriate areas to suggest movement.
