17th to 19th October
We have been doing a mixture of new work and some "finishing off" before our week's half term holiday which has now begun.
We have thought about metaphor in poetry and also written a short story of our own, trying to include all the features we have learned about earlier in the term. In maths we did some work on measurement of capacity and converting between litres and millilitres and have also done some data handling work, tallying data, producing graphs and thinking about appropriate ways to group data.
After finishing our first science topic, we have tried to get into our second area of study which is Adaptation and Interdependence. So far, we have been learning about different habitats and ways in which animals can be adapted to their natural habitats. We have also started to think about how scientists divide the living world into groups.
We had our swimming lesson yesterday when some of us had the chance to see if they could achieve a new distance award and, today, we finished the half-term with an art lesson, trying to show a person in a series of poses as the go through a movement such as doing a cartwheel.
Our new half-term begins on Monday 29th October.
