19th to 21st November
We have continued working on fractions in maths, simplifying fractions and converting fractions in order to compare fractions and put fractions in order of size. We have also done some work on division, writing the quotient as a fraction.
In English, we have begun looking at non-chronological reports, annotating a good example to highlight the key language features as well as the way the text is organised and today we have done some comprehension work on a story called "The one that got away".
Our geography topic has moved on as we have used internet based resources and CD-ROMs to learn about different mountain regions, making notes about the location, important places and other important features of these areas. These notes will be used in our writing next week.
We have also begun our RE topic on Faith and the Arts (thinking about the "meaning" of light and dark) and done some more sketching in art.
