Round up of the week

English

We started reading Floodlands as our new class text. The children have had to put together the opening three sentences and then compared the opening with two other books, deciding on the most effective. The children have also had to predict what happened before the picture at the front of the book and after it. Finally, the children have been looking at the clues that are contained within writing and how this shapes how we should a book aloud. The children have practised reading with intonation and variation in pace and volume

Maths

This week we have started to look at fractions, in particular, comparing, ordering fractions in accordance to their numerator and denominator, and ordering them on a number line. We have also simplified fractions.
