Writing
In Writing this half term, we have been writing a persuasive letter to the manager of Sainsbury’s to persuade them to ban selling fizzy drinks. In our Science topic last half term, we learnt about the amount of sugar inside fizzy drinks and decided we needed to put a stop to them being sold. We worked really hard to think about all the features we needed to include as well as working really on our presentation.
Science- We made slime to determine whether it was a solid or a liquid based on its properties and what we knew about solids and liquids.
