This week we have been doing very exciting   things such as…

Maths:

This week in maths, the Mathletes group have been learning about angles and we got to use protractors a lot to measure the angles in triangles but on Friday we excitingly moved onto fractions.

This week in maths, the problem solvers group have been learning about times tables and we played snap games but with the times tables.

Literacy:

This week in literacy we have been doing an interesting tactic to answer our questions in more detail. This strategy is called the race strategy. The race strategy helps us structure our answers for future tests so that we get more marks.

Another thing we have been doing are spelling stations. These stations include; jotter work, word work, independent reading and active spelling. These stations make literacy fun.

Our Topic:

Our Topic in class is Fairtrade. We are learning a lot of things about how Fairtrade helps farmers in different countries. The main food that we are focusing on is chocolate because it is a very important to a cocoa farmer
