This week we have been researching about how life was different during the medieval period. We have been discussing sports, food, medicine, houses, entertainment, weapons and of course torture!!! We decided upon which area we wanted to focus our research on and used computers and books to locate relevant information. With the information that we gathered we created a large information page ensuring that we used all of the features that we had been introduced to.

We also spent time learning about William Wallace and how he rose to power only to meet a very gruesome end. We found out how tall he was and how long his sword was. Mr Reed only came up to his shoulder!

Our maths this week gave us the opportunity to improve our ability to add and subtract using the chimney method. We all impressed Mr Reed with our ability to set out our work and successfully answer the various questions he had set.

Mr Reed set us all a challenge to copy down a paragraph in our best handwriting; this is now up on the wall for us to improve on next month when we repeat the challenge.

It has been a great week and one that will be hard to beat.
