Term 2 review

Art is something people make to show ideas and feelings: painting, music, pottery, jewellery and plays. A museum keeps old and special objects. On a timeline, the oldest object comes first. The area of a rectangle is the number of squares that cover it, so 6 squares wide and 4 tall make 6 × 4 = 24 square units. A fraction such as 3/8 tells how many equal parts are coloured. A pattern repeats in the same order. Raw materials become products: wool becomes thread, then cloth, then a scarf. Instruments make sound in three ways: we blow, hit or shake, or pluck strings. A sculptor can carve or model, and a play needs characters, a setting, events and dialogue. In medicine, warm tea or a cold towel gives comfort but does not cure. A fever or pain needs a grown-up, and often a doctor. An advert wants to sell something. A fact can be checked, fiction is made up, and an opinion is what someone thinks. A very old medical papyrus, more than three thousand years old, shows that people in Egypt observed carefully. A papyrus made at the time is a primary source. A modern book about it is a secondary source. The great library of Alexandria gathered knowledge in one place. A hospital has departments, and doctors use tools such as a thermometer, a stethoscope and a microscope. Washing hands with soap and water is a healthy habit.
