In maths, we have been looking at fractions. Children have been practicing identifying fractions based on different graphical representations and also comparing and ordering fractions with the same and different denominators. We have started to think about equivalence and how using a fraction wall can be a useful way to find equivalent fractions.

Here are some pictures from today’s lesson on comparing and finding equivalent fractions.WIN_20151126_100922WIN_20151126_101044WIN_20151126_101216WIN_20151126_101603WIN_20151126_102041

 

In Literacy, we have continued to read and study the Iron Man by Ted Hughes. Children have planned their own Iron Man sequels and are in the final stages of their apprentice writes before writing a draft and final version next week.
