30th April and 1st May
In English we have moved on to thinking about story writing. We did some revision about more advanced punctuation marks (including colons, semi-colons, brackets and dashes) and thought about the use of flash-backs in stories.
We did some more data handling work in maths yesterday, solving problems based on the interpretation of graphs and pie charts, before trying last year's mental maths test, which we then went through and discussed. Today we did some calculations using the calculator.
After finishing our unit on micro-organisms, we watched another section of the BBC science revision video yesterday and today and, in addition, we have had some time for PE (we played bench-ball in the hall because it was raining hard) and, today, we finished off the week with art. This time we were learning to draw people as part of the beginning of our unit of work entitled People in Action.
Monday is bank holiday so school reopens on Tuesday.
