27th February to 3rd March
In maths this week, we have continued our work on fractions, decimals and percentages, relating these to each other and converting between them. We have found fractions and percentages of quantities and, at the end of the week, moved on to a new unit of work about number. Today we thought about properties of square numbers.
We have done a series of different things in English this week including our Monday comprehension activity, improving our report about the life-cycle of the frog and bringing our "Highwayman" monologues to presentation standard. We finished the week by making notes about the life cycle of birds using videos of the peregrine falcons which nest on the Nottingham Trent University buildings.
We had a science afternoon on Wednesday when we thought about the properties of materials, focusing on their thermal properties. We investigated the effect of different types of cups and different insulating materials on the speed with which the temperature of hot water drops.
We also had PE, a session of Spanish, finished off our "stick-paintings" and tried some Lego design challenges.
