This week in Maths, we have been continuing our learning on percentages, calculating percentages of amounts by using a bar model. Next week in Maths, we will be enhancing our understanding of coordinates before learning how to translate and reflect shapes on a grid.
This week in English, we have been continuing writing the remainder of our explanation text of why the Vikings were so successful, focusing on using both causal and subordinating conjunctions and brackets for parenthesis. Next week in English, we will be starting our new unit on Viking Myths.
This week in RE, we have been learning about fasting in different religions and making comparisons between Lent and fasting in other religions including Judaism. In Science, we have been understanding and investigating the effects of friction. We planned and carried out an investigation in groups answering the question - How does friction affect the force needed to move a shoe across different surfaces?
This week in PSHE, we have been learning the health risks of smoking on the human body. We have also really enjoyed World Book day this week, the EFL Barclays Girls Biggest Football event and a visit from Urban Strides.
Next week we are looking forward to Science Week and Red Nose Day on Friday.
