7th to 11th January
The first week of our spring term has come and gone very quickly!
We have been working hard on our writing in English, completing some newspaper reports and some descriptive writing. Our journalistic writing was based on a police incident we experienced in an internet-based activity involving some children who had gone missing while our descriptive writing was based on the books of Flanimals created by Ricky Gervais.
In maths we have been concentrating on mental maths, written calculations and number sequences - describing these in words and formulae using symbols.
We have had a couple of special science afternoons. One of these was spent undertaking a series of practical activities involving mirrors and lenses to consider how light travels while the other was spent devising a properly controlled experiment to discover which of a selection of materials reflects light the best.
To finish the week, we continued with our shelters project in design technology.
