Tuesday:
Maths: still working on fractions, today we were looking at more complex multiple fractions of a whole number, and used this to help our ability to multiply and divide. A small also extended their learning by looking at word problems.
Literacy: extended writing on a narrative theme, with a focus on structure, similes, metaphors and adjectives.
In the afternoon we looked at coding with “Mrs B and the Beebots”.
