Week beginning 11th March 2019

In Maths we have concluded our work on fractions by consolidating our previously learnt skills and exploring fractions of amounts and solving problems related to this.

In English we enjoyed finding out the ending to our short story and have begun to look at different characters' perspectives: first of all interviewing Tristan's Mum and writing this as a script.

We thoroughly enjoyed creating dance routines on Tuesday afternoon - thank you for teaching us Mrs Bidder!
