In Maths, we have completed our fraction unit, looking at comparing, adding and subtracting fractions. We continued to secure our understanding of key vocabulary including; whole, part, numerator, denominator, tenths, unit fraction, non-unit fraction and equivalent fractions. We looked at equivalent fractions on our fractions wall.

In English, we continued our journey looking at ‘Coming home’ creating our own story maps, thinking about the importance of vocabulary and looking at prepositions throughout the story. We will conclude our learning next week with our final piece of writing.

We continued our Design Technology, looking at Levers and Linkages. The children evaluated different books with pop ups, springs and rotations. They then designed and created their own Christmas cards, I was so impressed with how the children supported one another with their words of encouragement and practically. Great job Snow Leopards!

It is so wonderful to see so many children reading at home, little and often is so important. Please try to keep this up over the Christmas holidays, it might be nice to read to another member of the family! It is so important to encourage and foster a love of reading so reading a range of books is really important but for fluency and progression in reading skills children must read their school book. When reading at home, please make a note in their diary, thank you. J
