In mathematics over the last three days, we have been tackling some maths word problems, thinking about the best ways to approach these as well as recording our calculations and notes clearly.

We began thinking about biographical writing on Wednesday, by annotating a text about the early life of Beatrix Potter, but made no further progress because of the special activities for us on Thursday and Friday. Because today has been Children in Need: Do Something Different Day, we have been doing some "different" technology activities, including making a weighing machine for Pudsey, making a device to help Pudsey sort the coins collected and a device to help Old Pudsey pick up things which have been dropped on the floor.

We have still had time for an afternoon of practical science activities, in which we investigated weighing things in air and the effect of increasing weight on an elastic band.
