Maths:
This week we have been learning about equivalent fractions. We have learnt to make an equivalent fractions and compare them using the bar model. You can also multiply the denominator and the numerator to get an equivalent fraction. In fluency, we have been recapping what we have done in the past. This includes all our formal and mental methods of calculation.
Grammar/English:
In English, we have learnt how to self-edit and colour code when we mark our own work. We have also started to read a very interesting book called the Big Game about a boy who reluctantly sets out on a journey to his Finnish homeland part of a manhood trial. In grammar, we have learnt how to diagram direct objects and what the difference is between transitive active verbs and intransitive complete verbs.
