15th to 17th October
We have thought more about the World War 2 evacuation in history, watching and discussing a video which included first-hand recounts of the experience. We have also written letters, pretending that we were children who had been evacuated and were writing home to mum telling her what had happened on evacuation day and at our new homes.
In maths we have continued thinking about measurement and converting measures and we have also begun to think about data handling - revising the "range" and the "mode" of a set of data.
The week we have tried a couple of reading tests and had a science afternoon on Wednesday when we thought about the different forces acting on an object and also did an experiment to investigate the effect of changing the size of the rotor blades upon how long a spinner would stay in the air.
Today we also spent some more time on our design technology project, working to design and make the legs to support our strong structures.
Next week we have our parents' evenings.
