After all the had work of researching, planning, designing, prototype building, testing, making and evaluating our amazing natural disaster sculptures are finally complete. We had lots of fun designing and making them.

Team LL have thoroughly enjoyed this week's mini topic on Christmas around the world. We have combined our ICT, RE, Literacy, Art and geography skills to explore how different cultures and countries celebrate Christmas. We have located countries and cities on maps and using an atlas. We have researched online and in library books to find out about traditions, celebrations, food, singing and festivities from many different countries around the world. In maths we have been applying our knowledge of plotting points in all four quadrants to create festive pictures.

This week we have been reading a wide range of fiction and non-fiction texts. We have been developing our VIPERS reading skills. In particular we have been learning how to make accurate and realistic predictions supported with evidence from the text and we have also been developing our summarising skills. We have been further developing written reasoning skills in maths and learning about percentages. We have been finding percentages of amounts by applying our mental arithmetic skills.
