In art this week we were focusing on optical illusions and tessellating patterns. This was very fun as we got to cut out shapes that would tessellate and draw around them. We focused on a shape like a hexagon, which had a shape that it changed into, and then we tried to transform it into a tessellating pattern.

In R.E. we were learning about drugs. We learned that not all drugs were bad as there are drugs in chocolate and coca-cola called caffeine. We also learned that most medicines were drugs as well.

In Mr. Edwards maths group, we are learning about pie charts and how to draw them.

In Miss Fowler's maths group, we are learning about different measurements.

In Mrs Gilder's maths group we are learning about measuring in litres and millilitres.

In science we are doing an experiment to see which plant survives with different elements like milk, or in a dark place, or with no water.

In P.E. we are learning basic hockey skills and we are also practising our running in the bleep test which is where we have to run the length of the playground within the length of two bleeps.

In I.C.T. we were learning how to use excel spreadsheet. We were finding averages of different football players played.

In literacy we were doing a 100 word challenge which was where we had to write a story with only 100 words BUT we also had to make it about a video that we watched. In the video, the only words were

"At last, Moby! We found it!"

Those were the words that we had to try and include in our story but if we couldn't do that, then we had to have words in there like that. We are also redrafting our 100 word challenges and typing them up on the laptop.

In carousel, we were doing French and music. In French we started a new module called the magic watch. We learnt new words and started the electronic book.

In music we composed our own pieces of music based on a picture called metamorphosis by an artist called Escher.

In geography we are learning about wetlands and the different animals and habitats that decide to make it their home. We are also learning about the farmers that have cattle on the wetlands and how the cattle survive.
