White Rose Maths was on improper fractions and then I did Mr Barton's lesson on converting kg in tonnes.

I then did the oak national lesson with Mr Emmerson and we looked at the key features of diary writing.  I had to read the example and pick out the features. These included:

• first person
• date
• contractions
• informal
• exclamation marks
• rhetorical questions
• emotions and feelings

I then looked at the work set by Mr A.  This was on Facts and Opinions.  I watched the cartoon and answered the questions.  My mum then gave me the task of reading 2 short newspaper reports.  I underlined the facts and opinions.  I noticed one was biased and had lots of opinions.  The other had more facts and was a more objective view.

I then read the sports report.  This was a fairly balanced report of a football match.  My mum asked me to change this and to write a very biased version of it.  Here is my biased report that contains lots of opinions.

I then did a science lesson on light.  I learned how light is a form of energy that transmits waves in straight lines.  Dark is the absence of light.  A shadow is made when the light cannot pass through the object.  Key words are:

• Opaque - NO light can pass through
• Translucent - SOME light can pass through
• Transparent - ALL light can pass through

I then did an experiment.  I picked 3 objects and used the lamp as a light source.  I then put the object in front of the light source and made notes on what I saw like if there was a shadow etc.  Here are my results: 

OBJECTS & SHADOWS

I then researched American food.  I looked at the website below and picked out foods I would like on my American Style Diner Menu.

Here is my menu.  I really want to run my own restaurant now after doing this!
