Sports Relief

Today we’ve had a fantastic time raising money for Sports Relief. All the money raised goes towards helping others – half the money stays in the UK and the other half goes towards helping people in other countries around the world.

“I really enjoyed running a mile for Sports Relief. I thought it was quite easy and even managed to do a little bit extra!” – Caiden

“I had fun playing games on the tarmac. I almost won but the time just ran out!” – Taylor

“Today I enjoyed playing games on the tarmac and cheering on Mrs Murdoch when she was chasing people in the class!” – Briony

“Today I enjoyed running the mile to help raise money for people who are less fortunate than us. I felt really proud of myself!” – Eva

This week in Maths we have been learning about Fractions, particularly equivalent fractions. Some equivalent fractions we learned are: one half is the same as two quarters, one third is the same as two sixths and one fifth is the same as two tenths.

We had great fun making pizzas to show equivalent fractions.
