We have continued our work on instruction writing in English. We have done further work on writing style (and making the opportunity to use question and exclamation sentences in introductions and final paragraphs) but the main piece of work for the week has been to write instructions for making a weaving frame. (This links with our recent technology project.)

At the beginning of the week our main maths activities concerned decimals and measurement. We have been practicing reading different types of scales and interpreting scales with missing values. We have also been rounding measurements to the nearest whole number and the nearest tenth of a unit. Today, we moved on to thinking about interpreting data and work on the "mode".

On Wednesday, we had another science afternoon, this time investigating mirrors (including curved mirrors) and lenses. We did a series of practical activities with this sort of equipment and recorded our observations to help us understand more about how light travels.

In addition, we had sessions of PE, music, and art, and some of us continued a piece of work we had begun before Christmas, researching clothes that were worn by the ancient Greeks.
