Learning this week

In English we have written a diary entry based on an attack from the dreaded Scylla. The children focused on the skill of portraying emotion.

In maths the children have been converting between mixed and improper fractions and applying this skill to a range of problems. Next week the children will be multiplying fractions.

In topic the children undertook an experiment to design a cup with materials to keep the water as warm as possible over a period of time. The children investigated the materials and their properties and focused on the concept of a fair test. Towards the end of the week the children looked into plastics and whether they were biodegradable.

Home Learning:
