Our main English work this week has been based around the types of characters found in ancient Greek myths and legends. We have read and discussed some different myths and legends and done a comprehension exercise on the story of Jason and the Golden Fleece. The written element of our work has focussed on writing descriptions of some of the mythical and legendary monsters, trying to structure our paragraphs well and use a range of sentence styles.

With the exception of a day thinking about probability, most of our maths work has been about graphs - bar graphs, bar line graphs and line graphs - and our work has involved drawing these different graphs and charts and interpreting them to find answers to questions.

On Wednesday and Thursday we worked on our ancient Greece history project, thinking about homes in that civilisation. After studying information about their houses, we completed a chart comparing them with modern homes. Then we looked at some archeological evidence of the earliest homes in Greece and worked in groups to develop theories to suggest how the design of these buildings developed over the centuries.

In addition to this work, we have has science, PE, music and art lessons.
