Our calculations work in maths has moved on to thinking about addition and subtraction calculations, concentrating on written calculations. Today's maths has been about factors and finding factors of numbers - we also discussed compliments and multiples to try and avoid confusion and build knowledge of mathematical language.

Our work on non-fiction writing has continued. We have done a little work on writing sentences in different ways (including starting sentences with verbs, adverbs and connectives and have written short paragraphs about the upper course of rivers. We also did a reading test on Monday morning.

In ICT we did a little more on our spreadsheets work and, in science, we have been learning about condensation. We made observations as water was being heated on a cooker, noting the steam rising and that the level of water in the pan gradually going down. A cold metal tray was placed in the steam so that we could see water condensing on the cold surface and even drips formed to create "rain".

As well as these activities, we did PE yesterday, science about shadows and, today, finished the afternoon with some sketching and a story.
