P4/5 have had a very busy week. We have been thoroughly enjoying our new numeracy topic ‘fractions’. We are able to find a fraction of a shape or number, order fractions on a number line and recognise that some fractions have different numerators and denominators however they can have the same value. These fractions are called ‘equivalent fractions’. Here is what the children had to say about their learning this week;
Louise “This week in numeracy we have been learning all about fractions.”
Mirren “I know that the numerator is the number of parts of a shape or number and the denominator is how many parts make up a whole.”
Lukasz “The numerator is the number at the top of the fraction and the denominator is the number at the bottom.”
Marcella “When a shape or number is split into 4 they are split into quarters.”
Abi “If the denominator is a 2 then the fraction is a half.”
Finlay “We have been finding fractions of shapes and numbers.”
Aria “We use our knowledge of division to find a fraction of a number.”
Charlie “We have also being revising multiplication, division, addition and subtraction.”
Abi “Some of us brought in red noses today to show our support for red nose day.”
Charlie “In PE this week, we continued our world cup tournament. Portugal came 1st and Columbia came 2nd this week.”
Lewis “In Art with Mrs Thompson this week we designed Easter cards.”
Lukasz “My group got a new reading book this week called cockadoodle doo Mr Sultan. I am really enjoying this book.”
Lewis “We have been focusing on inference questions this week in reading. When answering an inference question we have to look for clues to help us work out the answer.”
Daniel “We have been preparing for our Holy Communion this week. We revised the prayers for confession and talked about how important it is to have your confession heard often.”
Oliwier “For writing this week, we wrote a Viking adventure imaginative story. We focused on our structure making sure we had paragraphs in our story.”
Hope you have a lovely weekend and all of the mummies and grannies are spoiled on Mothering Sunday.
P4/5 and Mrs Wassell
