This week we have focused on Science report writing. \u00a0We used our investigation about conductors and insulators to write our report. \u00a0We learned terms such as hypothesis, apparatus and results. \u00a0Hopefully the next time we complete a science investigation we can write the report as we work.<\/p>\n
In maths, we have been working with percentages. \u00a0We used our number talks strategies to help us work out how much more is needed on a download percentage bar to reach 100%. \u00a0This was great fun. \u00a0The P6 children also played a game where they had to convert from a decimal number to a percentage to reach the other end of the board. \u00a0To help us with all of this learning we used the following site. \u00a0Have a go yourself with this site and blog a reply as to how you got on.<\/p>\n
