13th and 14th October
In our new unit of work in maths, we have been thinking about measurement. We have done some activities which involve accurate measurement of length (to the nearest millimetre), converting measures from large units to smaller ones (e.g. km to m; m to cm; kg to g) and doing calculations involving measures.
In English we have written another story, trying to include all the sorts of features that we thought about earlier in the term and today we did a short reading test.
In the ICT room yesterday, we used Microsoft Word to annotate a World War 2 poster. The ICT skill we were learning and practicing was to use text boxes. We used these to place comments about the poster on the page and we also used arrows to indicate the part of the poster that the comment refers to.
We have also done some music based on African rhythms (including some dance), French, PSHCE and PE.
