This week we have been focusing on reading and writing in all areas of the curriculum. For our topic we have been taking notes on different subjects so we can write a piece for our holiday brochures.
We have been researching the question “Is it important for a child to have a healthy breakfast?”. From the research we have make a list of what the scientist are saying about this subject and also looked at what our own opinion is. We are preparing to debate this in class.
We have been working well in groups this week taking responsibility for different roles.
In maths we have once again been looking at negative numbers only this time we have been learning to multiply and divide with them. It gets complicated when a double negative is a positive.
Jack asked a good question while working on his maths. “When will we use negative numbers?” After discussion we came up with a few ideas.
- Working in a bank or building society and dealing with accounts that are overdrawn.
- Thermometers have negative numbers so any type of scientist/nurse/doctor who works with temperature will work with negative numbers.
- People who work in catering and need to have a knowledge of food storage temperatures.
- Maths teachers.
- Architects and surveyors who deal with elevations.
