We have continued with our explanation writing in English, writing about how the ancient Greek agora is similar in many respects to markets in Nottingham and about how pencil sharpeners work. We finished the week by thinking about the use of pronouns. Our maths has focused on fractions - relating mixed numbers to their equivalent improper fractions and fractions to equivalent fractions and decimals.

The highlight of our week was a visit to Southwell Minster for "Time Travelling". After everyone was gathered (about three hundred children from different junior and primary schools were present) there was an introductory assembly before each group had the first of its seven different activities. The theme was "Signs and Symbols" and each of the activities made reference to at least on of the Christian symbols that are a feature of the cathedral.

Some of our activities earlier in the week were done in preparation for this visit and today we used the materials we were given at Southwell to make a record of what we had done.
