In maths, Euler and Pythagoras have been focusing on finding percentages of numbers and have been doing activities. It can be quite tricky so we have been getting lots of practice.  Turing and Newton have completed their work on time, and have now moved on to data handling.  We have looked at different types of graphs and the scales that they go up in.

In PE we have just started gymnastics. We focused on our balancing skills and we got into partners or groups of three and made up a sequence.  Our sequences had to have six different steps in them, and they all had to start and end with a balance.

In social studies we have been looking at Greek mythology. We completed our comic strips about our chosen Greek myth.

In art we created Valentine’s Day paintings using 3 different paints and using them to create more shades.

Today we received fobs for beat the street. We got given a fob and map of where all of the lampposts are. At the end the school with the most points with be rewarded with a £300 gift card of their choice.

In writing we wrote our names on a bit of paper and cut round it to make a character. We used similes, metaphors and adjectives to create a piece of descriptive writing.

In science we have been looking at buoyancy and density. We did an experiment using two chocolates (Mars bar and Milky Way) and we put them into water to see which one would float and which one would sink. The Milky Way floated and the Mars bar sunk.

In literacy, we continued with skimming and scanning.  We used our skimming and scanning skills to quickly read a text and find words within it to complete a timed reading challenge.

In ICT, we have been working on internet safety, and we have completed different stages of the Google Interland.  This week we were focusing on Tower of Treasure.  We looked at ways to make a secure password, and why this is important.
