Following on from recapping the bus stop method of division last week in Maths, we have been using this skill to find fractions of amounts of money, for example 3\/8 of \u00a3256. To do this, the children needed to divide the total amount of money by the denominator (bottom number in the fraction) and multiply that amount by the numerator (top number).<\/p>\n

This week in English we have decided, driven by the children’s wishes, to put together an argument in response to a letter written by our own Head Teacher, Mr Cunningham. The children, having learned about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, felt that Mr Cunningham’s proposals – about reducing the amount of time spent playing in the school day – disregarded some of their rights. We look forward to Mr Cunningham’s visit to our classrooms on Tuesday, when we can present our argument to him.<\/p>\n

In RE, this week we have continued our unit on Sacraments by thinking about the \u2018vocation\u2019 of those within the Church. We learned about what ‘a day in the life’ of a nun, monk or priest is like.<\/p>\n
Spellings are continuing from last week, the test will be on Friday:<\/p>\n
replied<\/p>\n
enemies<\/p>\n
emptied<\/p>\n
victorious<\/p>\n
marrying<\/p>\n
envied<\/p>\n
pitiful<\/p>\n
busily<\/p>\n
delayed<\/p>\n
supplier<\/p>\n
Remember, these all have root words that end in -y. They could possibly change in some way when we add a suffix. Encourage you child to make conscious choices about what they should do to the word and why.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the lovely, sunny weekend.<\/p>\n
