5th to 7th January
We have had a short week to begin our Spring Term at school and have concentrated on our new science topic (about light and how we see) in addition to maths and English.
In science we have thought about an discussed how light travels and how we see. We learned about light sources (and that the moon and mirrors are not sources of light) and did some practical work to help us understand how mirrors work. Today we did an investigation about how shadows change and then a more formal experiment to find out how shadows change size as an object moves closer to the light source.
Our maths work this week has been about decimal numbers, revising ideas about place value and extending these to hundredths, and about mental methods of solving addition and subtraction calculations. We have looked at an extract of a story in English, doing some comprehension work on this, and writing a short story of our own.
