We have begun a unit of work on biography and autobiography in English. We began by reading a biography of Beatrix Potter and annotating the text to highlight the key features. We have read some other biography books and written some short biographies of famous people that we know. We started with six to ten facts about the person and put these into two or three really good sentences.

Our maths work has concentrated on further work on measurement (more conversions between measures) and data handling. We have drawn graphs, interpreted information presented in bar graphs and thought about how to group data when preparing to tally data and present it in charts and graphs.

We had another science afternoon on Wednesday, thinking about situations in which there are different forces acting on an object. We drew diagrams and made notes and then did a little review test on the work we have been doing in science this term.

For our history lesson this week, we thought about how the people of Nottingham were affected by World War 2. We looked at maps and charts to discover that Nottingham was bombed during the war and studied a leaflet distributed by Nottingham City Council informing the public who was entitled to be evacuated to a safe zone in the country.

We played football in PE on Thursday and finished the week with more time on our technology project.

We have now broken up for our autumn half-term holiday. School opens again on Monday 3rd November.
