We have taken a break from our story writing this week to do some instruction writing. Most of us are already good at writing instruction sentences using imperative verbs and sequence connectives, so our focus has been upon writing whole texts by including good opening and endings sections (which give background information and encourage the reader to have a go at following the instructions).

In maths, we have practised estimating and using a calculator to answer simple calculations and have also been tacking problems which require several calculations to find the answer. We have also done some measurement - estimating and measuring the length of objects in millimetres.

Hindu iconography has been the subject of a further lesson in RE - symbolism in religious art - in which we looked at and compared various artist representations of Ganesha.

We have also done a little more weaving, started to prepare for designing our own bodkins and had our science, PE and music sessions.
