It has been a busy week in Team Topaz!
In Maths, we have been learning how to answer questions about metric measures and how to answer ratio questions using a bar model. In English, we have been finding out how to write persuasively by using modal verbs, emotive language and adverbs of probability as well as writing a formal letter persuading a World War 2 mother to allow her children to be evacuated.
In Geography we learnt about the natural resources in the UK and found out who were the world's biggest producers of other natural resources. In RE, we discussed Buddhist's beliefs about karma and nirvana and thought about what good deeds a Buddhist monk would do and what we could do ourselves. In Computing, we carried on looking at the digital footprints we create when we are online and money and looked at applicants for a job and how their digital footprint may affect their prospects! In PSHE, we discussed the power in relationships and this can be good or bad depending on the situation.
Next week in Maths, we are looking at shape and angles - quadrilaterals, triangles and angle rules! And in English, we will be writing an informal letter from an evacuee begging to come home.
We will also be carrying on with our other topics.
Have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you on Monday!
