28th and 29th January
We have been thinking about probability in maths this week, describing the chance of particular events occurring both in words (e.g. certain, unlikely, evens, etc.) and by using fractions or percentages. We have also carried out short maths experiments after predicting likely outcomes.
We have also continued to units of work we started in English and history last week. We have looked at a new ghost story in English, studying how the author has employed the various techniques we thought about last week and discussing how we can show characters' feelings in our own writing. In history, we have continued drafting our "evacuees" letter.
Today, we also had our PE session with YMCA Sport in the Community, French and PSHCE. Some of us went to an area athletics competition this afternoon and our school did well enough (coming second overall) to go through to the regional finals later in the term.
