English and Maths and Science over the past week


We looked at 3 different soils clay, compost and peat to see which would allow water to drain through the soil the quickest.  


We needed to measure carefully. 



We work together to time and measure. 






We carefully measured out the same amount of soil to check that the test is fair. 


In maths, we have been learning the names of, and looking at the properties of 3d shapes. 

How many faces, vertices (corners) and edges does a cylinder have?



The answer is 3 faces, 1 curved, 2 flat, 2 edges and no vertices. 


We have been working really hard on our descriptive writing. Our final stories will go towards the Eisteddfod writing competition. 


When we extend our sentences with adverbs (slowly, quietly etc) our descriptions improve greatly.   



We always share our best writing so that we can all improve together.
