Monday

On Monday we did Maths in morning. We read our Maths Week Scotland book called “The Lion’s Share” about fractions. The characters in the book shared a cake by cutting in half lots of times.  Then we did some literacy up until lunch with our Big Cat books.

After lunch we did a bit of French  to learn vocabulary for body parts. Then Mr Atkinson took us to the S.T.E.A.M room and we finished our debates and started looking at renewable energy around Scotland.

Tuesday

On Tuesday we started with Maths, looking at equivalent fractions using fraction walls and multiplication rules.  After that we had Mr Atkinson up until lunch. We were finishing our renewable energy maps around Scotland. Then we got our homework then we did nouns adjectives and verbs and adverbs. We walked around the classroom to find these.

Wednesday

In PE we did bench climbers, mountain climbers, ladders, shuttle runs. Two weeks ago, we did the exercises and set targets for ourselves.  Most of us hit our targets!

We started  our chronological report looking at the history of LEGO.

In the afternoon, we started our Make-do models of castles or magical schools. Some of us worked on microbits to add these to our models.

Thursday

This morning we did handwriting and some comprehension work. We finished our Maths Week Scotland work by cutting the cake on paper to show the tiny fraction the ant got left.

As soon as we finish the blog, we’re finishing our models!

 

What we’ve learned about fractions:

• One half is one half because it’s got a two at the bottom and it’s in two pieces.
• The numerator is the top and the bottom is the denominator.
• The smaller the denominator, the bigger the fraction (and the bigger the denominator, the smaller the fraction).
• You can do fractions on a number line.
• We learned that not all fractions are equivalent.
• If you’re finding a fraction of a number, you divide it by the bottom number (denominator) To find a fifth of a number, divide by 5!
• The number on the top is the number of the pieces that are shared of coloured, the number on the bottom is the number of total pieces.
