Despite it only being a short week we have still worked hard!
Maths
This week in our ongoing learning about fractions we recapped how to find fractions of amounts and practised finding equivalent fractions.
Monika – Fractions was hard but fun!
Leigha – I enjoyed learning different ways of working things out.
We also played fraction games to reinforce our learning.
After practising the x9 table for the last few weeks we are now going to practise the x3 table for the next two weeks before having a test.
Big Maths – More of us beat our score this week and we were very happy about that!
Literacy
We have been learning about how to write persuasively.
Princess – I enjoyed doing the advert because I like designing things.
Shantell – I enjoyed the adverts – it was fun.
R.M.E.
Using the laptops we researched the meaning of Christian artefacts.
Health
We found out what would happen to our bodies if we misused alcohol.
Hannah – I enjoyed learning about the effects alcohol can have on the body.
Aleena – It was very interesting.
Art
We continued our learning about how line is important when drawing. The work of Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro was considered before we went on to complete some expressive work. Some of us drew a person with spaghetti, nails or string for hair and then we tried to draw a hairy spider.
Samuel really enjoyed this work. He thought it was fun!
Mason-I liked the art.
Keris – My favourite part was drawing the hairy spiders.
P.E.
