In the last week of term, we have finished our description writing and most of us have also finished our long stories, including the illustrations. We have made some of these up into books and the remainder will be completed after Easter.

Our maths this week has focussed on problems involving converting between different units and then moved on to number work, thinking about understanding large numbers (up to a million) and decimal numbers. The learning included sequencing numbers, understanding place value and rounding numbers.

We completed our unit of work on human life cycles by doing some more thinking about development after birth, from childhood to adulthood and changes that occur as people move into old age. In history, we looked at the design of homes in ancient Greece, comparing these with our homes in Britain today and then trying to develop explanations about how the design of ancient Greece homes developed from simple one-roomed hut to the part two-storey courtyard buildings of the classical period.

We ended the week by testing to destruction the bridge structures we have made in technology.

We are now on our Easter Holidays.
