21st to 23rd November
We have continued our work on fractions in maths, practising how to cancel fractions and converting fractions to have a common denominator to help us compare and order them.
In English we have begun some biographical writing about Matthew Webb, the first person to swim the English Channel, and will be continuing this next week. We have also done an extended piece of writing in history, following some work on the Blackout. We learned about the purpose of the blackout and the effects it had on the inhabitants of towns and cities and have begun to write a letter to a newspaper in response to a complaint about its imposition.
We have also had PE, done some technology testing the strength of different column structures and some RE on the symbolism in pictures of the Hindu god, Ganesha, as well as having our Friday maths and English groups.
