Today we were doing our Micro Tyco. We are making cupcake kits. We were in groups calculating the costs of the kits. Each group had one ingredient to cost. Our group was calculating the icing sugar.

Today in class we were learning to summarise. We summarised our class novel called stormbreaker. Firstly  we read the book thoroughly then we highlighted the main points. After that we shortened the sentences and put it into our own words. We needed to write  2 sentences for each main point.

We were learning how to make a love heart and we were selling them at the Valentine’s disco. It was 20p for 1 and we managed to sell all of them!

Numeracy

We have been learning about fractions on class. We have been identifying what a fraction is and what information a fraction can give us. We should also be able to use some vocabulary associated with fractions.

Ideas for further practise at home:

• Identify fractions you can find in everyday life. Make a list with the fractions and what the fractions were used for. E.g. 1/3 off £3.49
• Identify which part of the fraction is the numerator, denominator and if it is a proper of improper fraction.
• Order the fractions you have found on a number line (the ones in your list).

Literacy

Grammar: Possessive apostrophe – We have been learning how to use the possessive apostrophe with a plural word. E.g. Where is girls’ changing room?

Writing: Instructions – We have been revising our instructional writing.

Ideas for further practise at home:

• Using newspapers, magazines, books or any other text you have identify words which use a plural apostrophe. Write down the sentence in your jotter so we can compare what we have found.
• Can you write a set of instructions to help someone learn a new skill? It could be how to care for a pet or draw a horse accurately!

Mycro Tyco

As part of our Mycro Tyco project we will be organising an activity afternoon. Each class will be invited to come along individually and join in with the event. We will need plenty of ideas in order to make sure everyone enjoys themselves while they’re there!

Can you come up with an activity that you think other children in the school would like to take part in? Remember in Woodlands we have pupils aged 4 – 12 years and we would like everyone to have something fun to do!
