Forests and Fractions

We have have a lovely first full week in Class 4 and have settled back into our full working rhythm again. In English we have spent a few lessons researching deforestation, interview key people and debating. The children created posters about the for and against arguments of deforestation in preparation for our writing next week...

In maths we have been looking at fractions of amounts and equivalent fractions. The children have already shown confidence in this area after citing it as a bit of a scary subject. Next week we will continue with fractions of amount and equivalence but start to moving into comparing and ordering fractions for some children.

In theme lessons we have been looking at plotting countries on maps using atlases. The children estimated the location before researching in the atlas. This brought about some fantastic conversations about continents, country independence, land locked counties and a country's change of name. RE this term will be focus on parables and the children looked at the meaning of a few on Tuesday.

I can also not write this blog without mentioning the one year anniversary of the 'Angry Carrots'. A story created by some of the children last year in a grammar session which is still being talked about and used one year on....

Notices: Could I just put out a reminder that if for some reason a child is unable to do PE, they need a note which they can produce to the person leading that session.
