This week the children have been learning about multiplying fractions and mixed numbers and finding fractions of quantities. They have continued to show their understanding by drawing bar models and fraction walls. In English, they have been planning an adventure story using sentence techniques to create excitement and suspense.

Please continue to work on the spelling lists, using the strategies given. Also, remind children to learn words from their personal spelling lists. Reading comprehension homework is due on Monday, when another one will be sent home.

This week, Sienna Tooes (5T) received the golden leaf award for consistently working hard to deliver class work and home learning. Troy Tyler (5T) has his writing on the showstopper wall. Mrs Edge will catch up on her class when she returns to school.

Have a relaxing weekend – hopefully not too cold!
