We're really focusing on editing our work effectively and have developed this 'cheatsheet' to help us.
The editing process is such a huge part of writing and we know that any successful author will draft, redraft, and redraft again....and again....and again!
So to be successful writers ourselves we need to be able to understand where we can make improvements to our work and also celebrate when we do edit.
The more opportunity we have to edit, the more that we can improve, and the better we can become.

Volume of 3D shapes
In Maths we've been exploring area and volume. Area is the flat surface that a shape covers whilst volume is the 3D space that it takes up.
Because we're amazing at working out areas, it's really easy for us to calculate volume too.
To find the volume of a prism you can calculate the area of the cross section (the 2D shape) and multiply it by the length.
For example...
This 3D shape has the cross section of a quadrilateral that can be split into a rectangle and a triangle.
Step 1) Area of rectangle 10cm x 7cm=70cm2 (the rectangle)
Step 2) Area of triangle ½ (3cm x 7cm) = 10.5cm2 (the triangle)
Step 3) Triangle + Rectangle 10.5cm2 + 70cm2 = 80.5 cm2 (cross section)
Step 4) Cross section x length 80.5cm2 x 5cm2 = 402.5cm3 (volume)
Could you try these ones?

Would you know what to do if we asked you to multiply two mixed numbers?
Here's easy trick!
When you're multiplying two mixed numbers the easiest thing to do is to convert it to an improper (top heavy) fraction!
We've been exploring all things fractions this term and this hand method has really made it easier.
Take a look at the example here!
Then all you have to do is convert it back to a mixed number (and maybe simplify).
So for 4 1/3 x 3 2/5 our answer would be 14 and 11/15

We've been exploring how we have different sensory needs when we're concentrating, and have been making the most of different figet toys, balance cushions, ear defenders, and head phones.
In PSHE we're creating designs of our brain labs that celebrate our different ways of thinking and our different needs.
