This week, in Maths and Numeracy, we have been learning more about fractions. We played a game where we had to find a partner with an equivalent fraction. It was quite tricky but lots of fun. We also put our division skills into practice when we learned to simplify fractions.

In Health and Wellbeing we learned about the importance of having a good breakfast to set you up for the day. Many of us were able to come up with ways to upgrade our breakfasts. Mrs Mackenzie is going to add a piece of fruit to help her with her Aim for 5 target.

In ‘What a Wonderful World’ we examined the lifecycle of a frog. We worked in groups, each member taking responsibility for describing a particular part of the cycle. At the end of the lesson we joined all our groups together to demonstrate how the lifecycle continues.

This week I learned…

…that a Komodo dragon’s spit contains more than 50 types of bacteria.                                Casey

…that a Brachiosaurus would eat the weight of 2 cars a day.                       Harry

…that frogs lay 3000 eggs but only around 5 survive and grow into adult frogs – that fraction is 5/3000.                 Gabriel

(Well done Gabriel for linking your learning. Could you simplify that fraction?)

…to simplify fractions, to dive properly and to try new foods.      Noah

…that jellyfish have no brains or hearts – only a nervous system.                              Fiona
