We have continued our work on explanation texts this week, focussing on writing explanations. We did some sentence work writing single sentences linking an event with a cause but using a variety of connectives to do this. The we have written some more extended explanation passages about the formation of waterfalls and oxbow lakes (to link with our earlier work on rivers) and the importance of good dental hygene.

Our maths work has been about shape. We have classified and investigated the properties of different sorts of triangles and also done some work on quadrilaterals, thinking about symmetry properties and learning some vocabulary including words to do with angle as well as the terms perpendicular and parallel.

Ancient Greek homes was the area of our history topic that we worked on this week, using text and pictures to compare features of these homes with our own. We used information from the internet and reference books to find out about the Hajj in RE. This work links with our visit to Southwell Minster next week for our Time Travelling visit. We also practiced the songs for this occasion.
