29th September to 1st October
This has been a short week as school for the class as today has been an INSET Day for the teachers who were thinking about reading.
In maths, we have been thinking about measurement of length. This has included measuring and drawing lines to the nearest millimetre and converting measurements from kilometres to metre and from metres to centimetres and vice versa. On Thursday we moved on to some data handling work in which we had to tally data, present the information in bar charts (with scales of more than one unit) and use these to answer questions.
In English, we have made a start to our learning about non-chronological report paragraphs but, to help our understanding of parts of speech which this work builds on, we have also spent some time on a concrete poetry task relying on correct use of nouns, verbs and adverbs.
Also this week we did some research about the charity Islamic Relief as part of our RE topic on international charities, had our Spanish lesson, our third session with the ukulele and two PE lessons.
