12th and 13th February
We have now broken up for our half-term holiday.
In the last couple of days we have spent some time in maths working on probability activities and doing some data handling work involving pie charts. We finished off (and some of us copied up) our suspense stories in English and we also completed our cricket skills unit of work in PE.
Our science this week was concerned with separating materials and we thought about different ways of separating materials (including sieving, filtering, evaporation, mixing with water and using magnetism) and the types of mixtures that could be separated using each method.
Today we had our Friday English and maths groups (in maths we looked at the SATs papers we had tried earlier this week) and this afternoon, after the necessary admin, we painted again. This time we used water colour washes to create the back ground for landscape painting which we will complete after our half term holiday.
