We have continued thinking about ancient Greek myths and legends in our English lessons this week. We have watched some more episodes of the "Odyssey" video and thought about the features of stories which retell myths. Later in the week, we have done some writing, trying to write from the point of view of one of the characters in the story.

In maths, we have done some work on proportion (mentioning "ratio" for comparison purposes) and solving problems based on proportions. We have also revised the processes involved in working through division calculations and using these to find fractions of numbers.

Next week, we will be going to Southwell Minster for our "time travelling" visit. In preparation for this, we have been thinking about "pilgrimage". We have used some websites to find out about the Hajj, including the sequence and timetable of activities that pilgrims undertake as well as some of the reasons and purposes of them. We have also thought about places that are special to us and thought about how we (and our families) "connect" with different places.

In addition to our PE and French sessions, we had another lesson on the tin whistle and learned some songs ready for the "assembly" at Southwell Minster.
