In Maths, we have been continuing our learning on fractions. We explored unit and non-unit fractions and did a brilliant job showing that 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent. The children loved using practical equipment and pictures to help them understand this tricky concept.

In English, we have been focusing on apostrophes. We learnt how to use apostrophes for single possession (like the dog’s bone) and for contractions (such as can’t and I’m). The children have been spotting apostrophes in their reading and using them confidently in their writing.

In RE, we answered our big question by using everything we have learnt in this unit. We have really loved learning about prayer in Islam, especially understanding why and how Muslims pray. The children shared thoughtful ideas and showed great respect and curiosity.

We also had lots of fun celebrating NSPCC Number Day. We took part in different maths activities, including making colourful times tables flowers and joining in with an exciting TTRockstars tournament.
