We have been continuing our units of work in both English and maths from last week. In maths, we have revised work on calculations (addition and subtraction) and the fractions work from last week before beginning some activities involving percentages today. To help develop our non-chronological report writing in English, we have been concentrating on writing structured paragraphs (with a good, introductory opening sentence and following sentences which develop that first sentence). We have written about "three wishes" and our "favourite day". Today we made notes about weather in mountain environments from a text book and tomorrow we will try to put these ideas into a really good paragraph.

As well as this work, we have continued our spreadsheet work in ICT, creating formulae to calculate the areas (and perimeters, for some of us) of rectangles. In science we have discussed planning a science experiment and, in RE, we have thought about the religious symbolism of light and begun thinking about symbols and symbolism in Hindu depictions of Ganesha.
