This week in maths we have been looking at fractions. We have been working on different aspects of fractions like simplifying, equivalent fractions and fraction identification. We have also been looking at how fractions relate to percentages and decimals.

We have been discussing relationships and respect for everyone.

We have started working on athletics in PE with Mr Cox and have been carrying out sprints and both standing and running long jumps.

In art we have been working with tone to create landscapes of varying tones.

We have been working to create an information book on Amazon Rainforest animals for the P1-2 class in writing. We have to make sure that the language we use is appropriate for their age and reading ability. We have also be looking at how to use direct speech properly in our writing.

We are continuing to work in groups to practice our chosen songs in music, which we will perform to the rest of the class.
