W/C 24th April 2017

Hello and welcome back to what is our last term in Team LG 2016-2017. We have had another busy start to the term with lots of learning taking place across all areas of the curriculum.

Maths:
​This week in maths we have revised the written methods for multiplication and division. Some of us have also applied this in the context of word problems. Before our arithmetic test, we also had a look at multiplying fractions by a whole number, which we aced in one lesson.

Literacy:
​Throughout the week we have introduced our new Science topic, 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Where?', which we are also linking with our literacy work. We chose six celebrities - Bruno Mars, Daniel Radcliffe, Wayne Rooney, Arianna Grande, Usain Bolt and Ant & Dec (they come as a pair) - to 'explore' different habitats around the world. As we are going to be writing persuasive letters to the celebs agents, we also began looking at the features of persuasive letter writing.
​
In other lessons we have made Greek pots and Vases, used algorithms to code programmes and put our map skills into practice during orienteering.
