17th to 21st March
We have continued our English work based on the story of The Odyssey in English this week with activities including summarising the plot of different episodes and doing some grammar work on pronouns.
In maths, our learning has covered negative numbers, understanding square numbers, decimals (rounding, doubling and halving decimal numbers) and complements.
One of our main areas of work this week has been our new history topic about ancient Greece. We have learned about the "polis" of ancient Greece and how the country was organised into essentially independent city states at that time. We then thought about the agora in Athens in more detail and undertook a piece of work comparing this to the market in our Nottingham Victoria Centre.
This week we also started a new topic in RE. This is about special places, pilgrimage and prayer. We learned about the Hajj using internet sources and next week we will be having a day at Southwell Minster.
We finished the week by doing some more DT, this time building towers and aiming for the highest tower we could create with a 10 cm x 10 cm piece of card and then we finished reading The Iron Man together.
