Today we have been learning about Fractions. We used pancakes to show halves and quarters. We made half of the pancake with jam, a quarter of the pancake with chocolate spread and the final quarter was plain.

I enjoyed making fraction pancakes, it was so much fun and I couldn’t wait to eat it!” – Megan

“We learned that one half is the same as two quarters. I liked the chocolate part best!” – Innaya

“I enjoyed halving and quartering the pancake, I especially enjoyed eating it!” – Anthony

“Today I enjoyed colouring halves and quarters because I enjoyed choosing the colours. I enjoy doing fractions because they are fun and I feel more confident with Maths.” – Briony

Last night we had a fabulous time at the Valentine’s Disco. We really enjoyed all the party games and dancing.

“I really liked the games and snacks. The best game was Corners – I was so close to winning!” – Nicole

“I really liked playing with Kieran at the disco and we drank lots of orange juice!” – Ben

“We enjoyed the Photo Booth and dancing with all our friends!” – Darby and Briony

“We enjoyed having lots of fun with our friends. It was fun, our favourite parts were Corners and dancing.” – Taylor and Ross

“Since we returned to school we have been very busy with our new topic about Scotland. We have made our very own personalised tartan designs and we are excited to learn about Robert Burns and his work.” – Darby

“This week we got our new reading books. I enjoyed describing Hilda Hardbottom, a character from my book. I even got sent to Mrs Hunter with great work and won a chance to go to the Tea Party!!” – Nicole

“I have enjoyed creating symmetrical patterns. My favourite part was colouring the patterns with two lines of symmetry.” – Xander

“We have chosen to learn about Scottish foods and Scottish animals. I am looking forward to tasting some traditional Scottish foods.” – Caiden

“Our new Maths topic is Multiplication. We are looking at the 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 times tables. So far I am enjoying it and can’t wait for a challenge to make me think really hard!” – Anthony
