Week 1 (03/11/2014)

Welcome to Term 2!

In English this week, we have started a new unit of work on Myths. We have looked at an Ancient Egyptian Creation story, a Greek myth and the Triumph of Horus. Next week we will be looking more at the features of myths and we will be starting to think about heroes and beasts.

In Maths, we have been looking at decimals. We have been converting fractions into decimals and we have been positioning decimals on a number line. We have also recapped on column addition. Next week, we will be looking at converting units of measure and we will be learning how to accurately draw bar graphs.
