This week in numeracy we continued our data analysis drawing our own pie charts both inside and outside the classroom. We also completed problem solving worksheets on line graph drawing and used the interactive whiteboard to share our results. We have been practising our addition and subtraction calculations challenging ourselves, sharing methods and tips with each other.

We continued with our topic Forensic Science and learnt about Toxicology and worked out what the unknown sample was. We have talked about different crimes and punishments in past times and were shocked that being sent to Australia used to be a punishment. We learnt a new song about the Lambton worm who lives near Durham. We each made our own Kelty myth so keep your wits about you in case they come alive!

Our writing lesson links to myths and legends we learnt about Midas who wished for everything he touched to be turned into gold. We wrote about the consequences of his actions we all agreed he would be very lonely and hungry.

We were inspired by Jackson Pollock and made our own abstract pictures- the pipe cleaners worked really well to give the spatter effect. We learnt what neurodiversity means and why it is important to understand that others may think and feel differently to ourselves. We enjoyed the Would you Rather quiz and listened to each others reasons.
