Maths:

In Maths, we briefly looked at fractions, recapping what we had learnt in previous years at school. We looked at the key vocabulary in fractions like the denominator and numerator. We also used multi link cubes to represent fractions in different ways.

English:

In English, we came to the end of our Newspaper reports by writing our Big Writes. We also ended the week looking at Acrostic Poems, creating our own.

Computing:

In Computing, we have been doing a book review on Greta Thunberg’s life story. We have all worked together to make this and create this page! We also looked at websites such as Newsround, Disney Store and Cbeebies. On these websites, we looked at what features they have such as links, videos, images, titles and games!
