We have developed our work on writing good paragraphs, by working on both fiction writing by writing about major rivers of the world and about ourselves. The focus has been on giving the paragraphs helpful opening sentences, varying the structure of the next sentences by using different types of words to start the following sentences and creating a "summing up" or "rounding off" sentence to end the paragraph.

In maths, our work has developed our mental arithmetic skills (practicing methods of mental addition and subtraction) and revised written (column) methods also of addition and subtraction.

We had an extended art session looking at the ceramic art of Clarice Cliff and creating designs in her palette and style, and making comparisons with the work of Bodil Manz, the Danish ceramicist. We have also done some more geography work, starting to think about tourism in the Lake District.

In addition, we had our weekly science lesson about Earth in Space, two PE sessions and finished the week with an introduction to playing the tin whistle.
