5th and 6th November
In our maths work this week we have been concentrating on finding perimeters of shapes and areas of squares and rectangles. We have just begun thinking about how we can find the area of compound rectilinear shapes. We have continued thinking about report writing in English, using our success criteria to help us improve our paragraphs about mountain plants. We have also done some "exercises", altering the order of words in the sentences of our reports to increase the variety of sentence structures and make them more interesting to read.
We have begun some research in preparation for creating Powerpoint presentations about one of the major mountain chains around the world and also started our singing in music. Our songs are being prepared ready for our Christmas concert. We have also had our usual PE session with the YMCA and our weekly French and PSHCE sessions this afternoon.
