LITERACY
This week in Literacy we are creating our own versions of the famous myth Theseus and the Minotaur. This will focus on the children applying skills they have been taught last week on connectives, adverbs, the past tense, and creating action and suspense through sounds and dialogue. We look forward to some imaginative and engaging pieces of writing!
MATHS
This week we will be covering fractions. This will start by recognizing, reading and writing simple fractions. They will then be ordering and comparing fractions, including non-unit fractions (5/5, 2/5, 4/5) and unit fractions (1/2, 1/4., 1/6 and 1/3). The children will also investigate equivalents 4/12 = 2/6 and fractions of quantities, i.e. ½ of 24 = 12 or 3/5 of 15 = 9
THEMED LEARNING
This week, the children will be continuing our science topic on rocks. This will cover making igneous rocks, discovering the rock cycle and finally concluding with a Kahoot quiz to see how their knowledge and understanding has developed over the course of this science focus.
