1st to 3rd October
In addition to finishing our stories, we have done some more poetry work in English, using a word processor to draft, edit, improve and present our poems. The theme for our poems was Autumn and we used particular patterns of words to create the lines for the whole poem. For most of us these were adjective, adjective noun or adverb verb noun poems. Some also managed to type-up their simile poems about their friends.
In maths, we played some games using our knowledge of the properties of shape and then worked on finding and calculating perimeters of shapes. This has included working out formulae to give the perimeter of various shapes.
On Wednesday afternoon we did some science work on forces, writing up some of the practical activities that we have done and considering some of the ideas underlying the effects we have noted (including the finding that things weigh less in water).
Yesterday afternoon, some of us had a swimming lesson while others helped to make some props for the play we are getting ready for our school Harvest Festival Service next week.
Today was an INSET day for the teachers, so the children had a day off.
