The children are ramping up their preparation for the next few week by focussing in on their weaknesses and how they can improve themselves. We have focussed in on using Standard English in grammar, changing slang terms to correct English. The children have enjoyed the challenge of solving algebraic equations and word problems involving decimals.

Science has seen us look at how mirrors help us to see objects and the children will use this knowledge when building periscopes next week (make sure to get any cardboard boxes in for Tuesday!). They have also continued to look at the human and physical geographical elements of the different boroughs of New York City, comparing and contrasting them. In Computing, the children have looked at using simple formulaes in spreadsheets to calculate totals and products of numbers.
