We have continued with our English unit on persuasive writing this week by looking at persuasive writing techniques often used in advertisements. We thought about these in the abstract and identified them in adverts before creating adverts of their own. Our maths has focused on division (including expressing the "remainder" as a fraction or a decimal and knowing when to round up or round down to give the answer to a problem), work on factors and multiples and mental multiplication.

We have experimented with using Sketchup on the computer to create 3D models of buildings, including loading in images of our own artwork to start creating a "virtual art gallery".

We made further progress with out automata, finishing the axle mechanism and doing more work on our figures and finished our water-colour painting unit by completing our landscapes and doing more pictures with the chisel brush.
