Maths

In maths this week we have been learning about equivalent fractions. These are fractions that are equal. We began by using shapes to find equivalent fractions and then moved on to using a fraction wall (see homework task below).

Here they are completing a matching fraction game today...

English

In English this week we have begun our new unit all about the wonderful books by the author Anthony Browne. The first book we are reading is called Into the Forest and we have been writing diary entries based on the story. The children have learnt how to include emotive language (words that show how we are feeling e.g. terrified, uneasy, panicky, joyful, nervous, anxious etc) to sow how the person writing the diary entry is feeling. We have also tried to include different sentence types in our diary entries - compound and complex sentences.

PSHE

This week has been Kindness week at school. The children have learnt what kindness means, how we can show kindness to one another and how this helps us to build healthy relationships with others. We have read the book 'We're all wonders' and created some great artwork based on the story that shows how we can be kind.

Diwali Dance Workshop

They had huge smiles on their faces when they performed the dance at the end of the session. Here are some photos of the workshop...
