This week, in DT we learned a new way to strengthen a bridge. We used card to add an arch underneath the deck and we also made piers (pillars) to add support from underneath. In Dance this week, we ran through all the dances again for our Annie performance, but this time Emily (our dance teacher) stood at the back to see if we could do it on our own. In History, we looked at Greek architecture, which used pillars of different styles: Ionic, Corinthian, Doric. The Ionic pillars had swirly capital (the top of the pillar) and it was long and thin. Whereas the Corinthian pillar had an intricate capital and the Doric had no base and a short, thick pillar. In Computing, we used Scratch to create a maze for our Sprite to move through and used different blocks to create an algorithm. Finally, in Writing we have been learning about poetic devices. We used rhyme to create a poem about the emotion fear.

Our Flashback questions on Blooket this week were:

1.Ancient Greeks built using columns. What were these buildings sometimes used for?

2.What is an algorithm?

3.Which is an example of a non-contact force? Friction, or magnetism.

Next week, we will be learning about Greek mythology, Gods and Goddesses and we will be investigating magnetism from a distance.

Our spelling rule next week is“ee‘’ sounding words: steel, steal, millipede, theme, deceive, antibiotic, antisocial, anticlockwise, familiar, obvious, regal, theory

Next week, Dance will be on Tuesday.
